New script – Stitched Edges #3

October 3, 2025 by Cassel

Although you can add a serged edge on any shape (with the Stitched Edges #1), you can now add a blanket stitch around your elements. Starting with a vector shape, you can choose to have long or short stitches and you can pick any color for the thread. The end result is left on unmerged layers so you can tweak that thread color by changing the blend mode as needed.

You can also add custom textures or puffiness to the element if you want, but it is optional.

For a sampler, I created some basic set of digits that are stitched for you. Each digit is about 500 pixels high so you can resize them as needed.

New font – Decorative Stitches 2

October 13, 2023 by Cassel

You might already be familiar with dingbats, but very few fonts will replicate machine stitching. The Creation Cassel store is the only place where you can find those fonts. This time around, I created another set of 50 different stitches that you can add to your arsenal.

The zip file includes two versions of each of the stitches: one with clean edges and one with irregular edges.

For a sampler, I created a simple rectangular 7x5 inches frame made from a decorative (and basic) stitch. They are in greyscale, so you can colorize it however you want to match your project. Then, add a texture, a bevel, and a shadow to create that 3D effect. Showcase a photo or some text inside it.

New script – Streaks

April 7, 2023 by Cassel

With graphic programs, we can manipulate images in ways that the camera itself cannot do. With this script, you can add streaks from your image, to convey a sense of movement, speed, or displacement. Then, you can also manipulate those streaks to give some wave effects, to show elements through, to fade its colors, etc. So many ways this can be manipulated.

You can apply this effect to any photo, in any of the four basic directions, and you can also have the ends of the streaks reach the edge of the image or not, for different effects.

In order to win this script, add a comment on this Facebook post telling us what photo would be suitable for this streaking effect (remember, add a comment, not just a Like!) The winner will be announced in the newsletter, next week. Not a subscriber yet? Not a problem. You can register here and it is free (and you only get one email per week).

For a sample, of course, I cannot use my photos as they would likely be useless to you. So I decided to create some stitched ribbons for you using the Two-Tone Stitches from last week. I started with a basic greyscale ribbon, added the stitches on both edges, added texture, bevel, and shadows, and then, with the warp brush, I modified the stitching line so it would follow the uneven edges of the ribbon, for a more "realistic" look.

New font – Two-Tone Stitch 2

March 31, 2023 by Cassel

A new font has been added to the store. This time, it will allow you to use two colors of threads if you want, or simply showcase the layered effect of the stitches with the bevel and shadow.

Use those stitches in a straight line (like most "text") or along a path, like you would add "text on a path". You can choose any size: it won't be blurred or pixelated since it will be a vector. All the measuring is done for you so that the two layers will perfectly align.

For a sample, I created an oval frame with two sets of layered stitching for you in pink/lavender tones. The frame is in png format so it can be used in any graphic program.
