You can now turn any shape into an impression on your project, whether it is supposed to be sand, playdough or cardboard.
You can choose any shape or text and, depending on the effect you want, and the size you have, you get three possible depth to select from. You might need to experiment with the settings. In the end, you can also adjust the opacity to make the impression more obvious if you have a busy background. And don't worry, you can move it around if you are unsure where you want it on your project.

For a sampler, I created some fun imprints of sound effects like you would find in comic books. They are about 600-700 pixels in width and in PNG format. You would get a great result by changing the blend mode to Overlay once the elements are on your project. That will make the colors pop.

You can now create your own frame to showcase your favorite photo. No more hoping to find a ready-made frame that has a word suitable for you. You can choose any text you want, and even a specific location or date that is personalized to tell your story.
As a sampler, I created three frames starting from a 1400x1400 pixels blank image. I added the text on top and created an empty section on the bottom. I simply filled that section with various designs to match the top part. Each frame is black, but you can colorize them however you need to fit your project.
You might have a lot of photos to display and you want them showcased in a different way. How about hanging them all on a line?
As a sampler (since you likely don't care about MY photos), I converted one page with 15 photos into a layered template. Although you cannot move the photos like you would be able to with the actual script, you can still adjust what photo you want to display on each group.
If you want to combine a set of papers into a new design, you can create this brick wall pattern. But doing it manually, is absolutely tedious and difficult. Which is a good thing there is a script for that.
For a sampler, I am offering you a greyscale version of the pattern in the preview. There is no background so you can use any color or paper for it. To colorize the bricks, you can either use the Colorize command over the whole image, or over a selection of some bricks or rows. But if you want to be fancier, you can duplicate this layer, lock the transparency and paint over some bricks, and then change the Blend mode.
Placing photos in a perfect circle is an interesting way to display them, but it can be very tedious to take care of resizing each photo to the correct dimension for their number, then spacing them, aligning them and rotating them perfectly to form that circle.
As a sample, I ran the script with 8 photos and simply replaced the photos with grey squares (you don`t need to have my photos, do you?). Everything is left in unmerged layers so you can change the color of the borders if you want. You can insert your photos inside the mask groups. You can add various papers or elements to decorate the page.
Bows come in so many shapes and sizes. In your stash, you will never have too many bows! This is another one in our series of bows that you can create for your own projects.
For a sample, I created three organza ribbons and three bows with them. I also combined the individual loops from each bow, to make a three-color bow. That is something you can also do with the bows generated from this script since all the layers are left unmerged so you can replace or move them.
This is the third script in the "Decorated eggs" series. New designs but the same options. The eggs created with this script will perfectly match those from the others in the series as they will have similar options, the same final dimensions, etc.
Here are another dozen eggs that you can use in your next Easter project. They are the same size as the previous dozens so you can have three dozens for the same price.
Various templates exist to create diptychs and triptychs but using something standard might just not suit your photo as you might end up with a face cut in the middle or some other subjects not being really well showcased. This script will allow you to select the subjects to showcase and it will do all the calculations to split the photo between those areas you will determine.
As a sample, I created a split photo starting with a simple black image, which turns into a template that you can use with your own photo. You can change the color of the borders and the background if you want too.
Another way to add a special message, a date, a name, or a location is through the use of a datestamp. Those can be a simple and discrete way to add some information on a project without the traditional look of labels or journaling.
For a sampler, I created a total of 16 greyscale datestamps related to various school grades (from pre-K to University). Since they are greyscale, you can colorize them however you want to match your project.
If you have some paper-related projects and you need a fun and unique title, why not use a series of layered outline cutouts? Although this might be a bit tedious to do manually, you are in luck as this script can do that for you in no time.
As a sampler, I used the fading color option starting with dark green. This would be perfect for any St-Pat project, but it could also be used for titles for a birthday or a papercraft event.
