If you want some precious metal elements, you can create them with this script. It will take just about any shape and outline it in gold, silver or bronze, and then, will fill it with crystal in the color you choose (you can even pick a gradient for a great effect too).
The script will give great results for individual elements that are about 300-500 pixels in size but you can still play around with it with other sizes.

As a sampler, I created this cute flower. The freebie includes the flower with the stem and leaves but also the flower alone.
The full flower is about 850 pixels in height and in PNG format so you can use it in various settings. Make sure you do NOT flip or mirror it as the bevelling will look odd on your project.

Do you want to rely on the ready-made clips you can find with set colors, or design or create your own that you can customize with any color, gradient or pattern, any text, font or design that would perfectly match your kit, your layout or your graphic project?
For a sample of this script, I created a set of digits in a nice aqua color for the summer that is coming up (at least for the Northern Hemisphere). You can now write the date of your next vacation or family gathering.
It can be fun to convert a simple clipart into a beaded element to add to a themed layout. You can do that with this script which will convert ANY image into a set of beads, all fused together.
For a little taste of summer (at least for the Northern Hemisphere), I made these 4 adorable critters in beads art for you. Each of them is about 1000 pixels in size so you can easily size them down to suit your layout.
How would you like a nice juicy burger on your next graphic project page? What if you could have that hamburger in any shape you want, whether it is a square, a star or even a letter?
As a sampler, I created some fun digits that you can use to date your next barbecue pictures.
Are you always looking for original ways to add a date or other elements like a name or a location or even a special sentiment? This datestamp will be perfect for that unique look.
As a sampler, i created 7 simple datestamps, each with a day of the week. It is up to you if you want to add a date in the center, or a photo, or anything else.
This script will let you write name, titles, quotes or dates as if you were playing slot machines. It could also resemble those clock displays that rotate. Whatever effect you want to get, you can create it with this script.
As a sampler, I created 4 displays with the years 2015-2018. It might be a great way to date your layouts that you made in the last few years, or to date what you dream to accomplish next year.
Do you like to use ribbons in your projects? Straight ribbons are easy to find, right? Not always. In fact, it is possible to get some greyscale ribbons and colorize them to match your project, but some colors are quite hard to get right (like the yellows). In addition, the ribbons you get would always be the exact same kind, with the same size, same shape, same light/dark areas, etc.
I went a little crazy with the freebie, this week. I found a fun color palette that seemed nice for a spring theme (sorry for our Aussie friends who are heading toward winter, but spring will be back in 6 months!).
Although you might like to have an even frame make of straight ribbons, sometimes, you might want something a little less "clean", and if you worked with sticky tape, scotch tape, washi tape and such, you know that you MIGHT, occasionally have some unevenness to them.
To let you "play" with this frame, i created another one using the same tape as in the initial preview. I tweaked the shadows on the ends and included those shadows in the download. Each piece of tape is left on a separate layer (with its own shadow) so you can adjust the size of the frame. It has been made for a 7x5 photo, but if you want to use it on a smaller picture, you can just move the pieces inward.
Have you ever tried to make a seamless honeycomb pattern? It is a bit challenging because you can't create a square tile that will be seamless. It has to be rectangular, and with the various color combinations, the rectangle can't always be the same size. That is a headache, and that is probably many people wanting a honeycomb pattern had to rely on pre-made templates. But that is still limiting, don't you think?
As a sample of what this script can do, I started with a palette of 3 spring colors: yellow, pink and purple, and generated four fun patterns for you. They are full size papers so you can cut them out, use them as frames, or just as a background for your next spring theme project.
Using slats to showcase a photo makes for a fun and unique effect. However, creating slats manually is tedious, especially if you want them even or following a particular outline.
As a way for you to play around with slats (in case you never tried before), I made a large template (about 3000 pixels wide). It is in png format so you can probably use it in most graphic programs.
