New Script – Grab Bag

August 4, 2018June 4, 2010 by Cassel

Do you sometimes have some grab bags in your store? Are you struggling to find something different to show off your products? Did you ever see bags and wished you could have them in layers? or maybe you found a layered one, but you don’t have much option to customize it other than colorize it?

This script will certainly help you create something unique. With this script, you can create a total of 10 base bags, but that means 2 different formats and 5 different types of handles. But more importantly, you can customize the front, the side, and the handle. Choose your store color, add a logo or a catch phrase, add some decorations (maybe from the elements in your grab bag??), use matching or contrasting colors/gradient/pattern for the front and the side. Really, you will never have a boring grab bag anymore!

You can get them in my stores: Creation Cassel, Do It Digi.

And if you want a chance to win this script, check out this thread in the DST forum, and add your name. Make sure you also tell me some ways you would think of decorating a grab bag!

new Script – Kit Previews Maker

August 4, 2018May 29, 2010 by Cassel

If you are a designer, you have to make previews. Whether your kits are small or large. If you are a store owner, you might organize some collab kits that end you containing a lot of papers and elements. For each preview that you make you have to open the paper files, resize them, copy them, close them, paste them into your preview, play around to distribute them more or less evenly depending on how many papers you have for that preview, rotate them if you wish, and add a shadow. And that is for ONLY the papers in the preview! Now, onto the elements, and of course, you have even more elements to place on your preview. So, the same routine, or opening, resizing, copying, pasting, closing, moving. Are you out of breath already? How long does it take you to make a preview for your kit? Twenty minutes? thirty? And that is if you have a regular size kit. Now, if you have a mega kit to organize, and you have too much stuff to put in a single preview, then you have to repeat the process twice, three times, four times, five times. OK, now that you know how long you take to make your previews the “old fashion way”, let’s see what this script can do for you.

Hum… everything that i listed above, the script will do. Yes. It will check in your folder (yes it will go look in the folder so you don’t have to open tons of files), separate all the papers and the other stuff (normally they would be elements, right?), count your papers and elements. Why is it counting? Simply to check with you how many previews you need if it finds more than 20 papers for example. Of course you can still want everything in one preview. You have that option, but you can also have more than one. Then, the script will split the papers into how many previews you want, place the papers in the first preview, rotate them randomly (yet with the setting you want so if you don’t want any rotation, the papers will be straight), spread them more or less evenly depending on how many papers will be in that preview. It can also add some basic shadows if you want. At this point, the script will let you have one previews with only the papers and will start another one to add all the elements it found in the folder and repeat the process of opening, resizing, copying and pasting the elements on top of the papers.

Now, if you wanted more than one preview, the same thing will be repeated. The fun thing with this script is that, once you answered the few questions at the start, you can go, have yourself a coffee, go check your emails, and when you come back, all the previews are done. You simply have to rearrange the elements where you want them (yeah, the script does not have very fancy taste as far as disposing elements in a preview!).

Do you find that left to right placement of the papers is boring? The script gives you other options, like right to left, upward, downward and diagonally (from any of the 4 corners). This should help you get very dynamic and not-so-boring previews from one project to the next. See other ways that papers can be placed.

This script is available at Creation Cassel and Do It Digi.

As usual, you have a chance to win this script. This time, check out this thread in the DST forum and you have to guess how long this script took to place everything in a kit of 54 papers and 174 elements into 3 previews on my computer. The closest guess will win the script.

Thanks to Nathan’s Designs for allowing me to use his products to illustrate the result of this script.

new script – Needlework

August 4, 2018April 30, 2010 by Cassel

Did you ever liked needlework? That is something that can take a long time, but with this script, you can pretend you worked really long but actually get great results in seconds. This script will convert any image, photo, design, tube, drawing, into a piece of needlework. It could become a cross-stitch work, or half cross-stitches. Choose the size of your stitches for more or less details. Of course, tiny details, or lines (like strings on a balloon) will be lost but that is expected with stitching anyways. You can also get a cloth background for your work, either Aida or burlap cloth, and you can flood fill any surface with it, including your whole layout if you want. The needlework will match perfectly in size!

Available at Creation Cassel, Do It Digi.

Happy customer

March 31, 2010 by Cassel

Today, I noticed in the DST forum, someone looking for an action to turn layouts into templates. I suggested my Template Maker script, but since she had mentioned an “action”, i assumed she would have to download a trial version of PSP to run it, but lucky for her, she had PSP, so she purchased it. Well, it turned out she was VERY happy! Here is the reply she posted in the forum:

OMG Cassel, I LOVE YOU......I just bought this script and tried it out on a test layout....it is FANTASTIC......I recommend this to any PSP user.......can I give you a big HUG?????? You have saved me hours of work...... by frani_54

Another happy customer!

Mirror Mirror – new script

August 4, 2018March 19, 2010 by Cassel

Create some faded mirror images from any photo, element, shape or text. Add this effect to simulate a reflection in the water, or on a polished surface. You have the option to create that reflection on top, on the bottom, on the left or the right. You can get some overlapped images, or let the script delete that overlap.

Use an image slightly rotated for a very interesting effect. The script will work on any raster, vector or background image. If your document holds several layers, only the active layer will be used.

New script – Journal Bits

August 4, 2018March 13, 2010 by Cassel

Did you ever see those paper scrap pages where a long phrase is cut up in individual words? Did you ever try to do that in digi? Most of the time, it is a pretty tedious task, but no more. This script will just do that for you, and you are not limited at all. In fact, you can pretty much decide everything. Of course, you can have the text you want. Then, you choose the font you want too, and the color for the text and the color for the paper. You can have opaque paper, or translucent. If you choose translucent paper, you also decide on the opacity; maybe you want to pretend you wrote on a piece of scotch tape, which is very translucent, or on tissue paper which is more opaque. It is your call. You can then decide to have all the papers cut straight and evenly, or go crazy with irregular shape and size. But wait, that is not all. You can also ask the script to separate all the words without any paper. If you are working on a layout, the script can, if you choose so, to place all those word bits on your layout for you (no need to copy and paste dozens of bits) and it will even rename each layer according to the word on it. Neat huh? I am telling you: it probably will take you longer to decide on all those options than it will take the script to execute it.

This script is available in all my stores: Creation Cassel, Do It Digi, Scrapping Whispers, Divine Digital

New script – Round Word frame

March 6, 2021March 5, 2010 by Cassel

Did you see my first Word Frame script? It was creating a rectangular frame where you could insert text. Now, you can get a round (or elliptic) frame with the similar features: you get to choose all the options of color, line type, line thickness, location of the text. In the case of a round frame, you can also choose to have the text go clockwise or counterclockwise. This gives you the opportunity to create very interesting frames.

Remember that this script will generate the frame on a separate layer so you can use it on your picture, or without it. And you can run the script on a blank canvas too for other use. How about placing the frame off center and partially off the picture? Or how about using the frame to create a wordart?

new script – Photo focus

August 4, 2018February 20, 2010 by Cassel

Do you want to draw attention to one part of your picture? this script will help you achieve just that. With many many options incorporated into the script, you will be able to create an interesting contrast. Among the options you have you can choose the shape of the focus, if you want a border, its thickness, its color. You can adjust the size and the location of the focussed area, and you can also choose between any combinations of unchanged colors, black and white, and sepia. A shadow will be added, but on a separate layer so you can modify it if you want.

Also, all the layers are left unmerged, which gives you the option to either run the script a second time, or add yet another effect to the background for the most personalised result. Try adding a blur, a brushstroke, a different colorisation or any artistic effect for unusual outcome.

You can win this script at DST if you go add your name to this thread.

The script is available at all my stores: Creation Cassel, Do It Digi, Scrapping Whispers, and Divine Digital.

See what can be done with this script.

Can you think of other ways to use this script??
