New Script – Alpha Tags 2

January 19, 2021January 10, 2014 by Cassel

Everyone loves interesting alphas or digit sets. Every designer seems to like to add them with their kits but creating unique ones that offer some variations is really time consuming. As a scrapper, you might find a nice kit that does not include an alpha or you need special characters that are not in the set.

This script will speed up the process, both for the designers who want to add an alpha set, or the scrapper who wants to create a unique title.

You can type anything you want and the script will generate one tag per character in your text. You get to choose one of four shapes, the text, the font, the colors (even the texture) and whether you will have those additional colors or not. And you can also include blank tags that you can use for other purposes like a whole date, a name, etc.

You can grab this time saving script in my store: Alpha-Tags 2 script.

And for a chance to win this script for free, check out this thread in the Happy Place. Add your name and answer the question about how you could use the resulting tags and i will be back next week with the name of a winner.

cass-AlphaTags2-Digits

As a sample of what can be done with this script, i created a series of digit tags, in simple square shape, with basic textured colors (i changed the angle of the texture in the Material Palette for each color for more interesting look) and used the Britannic Bold font.

Each tag is 250 pixels wide in PNG format, and you can easily size it down if it is too big for your need.

If you like this set of digits, the whole matching alpha will be included in the newsletter, so it is always time to subscribe to it.

New tubes – Braided Trims

January 19, 2021November 8, 2013 by Cassel

This week, you can get this set of picture tubes created to generate some fun decorative trims. You can draw with them as you want, create any number of interesting edges in any length or shape.

If you like the other directional tubes from the store, you will love these ones too.

You can use the VectorTube script to place those trims along a vector path for a very precise placement around frames, alphas, or decorative designs.

You get 10 different tubes in different colors. If you want to tweak the colors afterward, you can still colorize them.

These are obviously only working in Paintshop Pro (sorry Adobe users).

You can grab this set of Braided Trims tubes in my store.

If you want a chance to win this set, you can add your name to this thread in the DST forum and tell me what version of PSP you are using. I’ll be back next week with the name of a winner.

cass-BraidedTrim-sampler-tags As a way for you to see more closely what those tubes look like in a real project, i created those fun tags. I started with a vector shape (a rectangle with rounded corners) and used the VectorTube script to place the trims along that path. I then replaced the center of the tag (that was a vector layer) by a brown paper texture i had in my supplies. I cut out the hole on top and added some words using the Magneto font.

Each tag is about 400 x 750 pixels so you have ample room to add your own journaling, date, or just use them plain. Add a string or a ribbon to attach them or just to add a decorative touch to it.

You also get a blank tag in case you want to customize it more to your project.

New script – Alpha Tags

January 19, 2021August 2, 2013 by Cassel

I saw little tags with digits to create a date on a layout and i thought it was cute. I also thought that it must be tedious to do if you need more than just a few. How about if you want to write a word, a title, or a phrase?

Of course, scripts are made to save time and once coded correctly, that is exactly what they do. So i proceeded to code this script for Paintshop Pro users. This is not a template where you get the script to stop at each layer, ask you what you want to fill it with and go on to the next layer. Once you have chosen the font, the color, the text, the papers and a few other options, you can just go make yourself a coffee and the script will do everything by itself, whether it is a 5 letter word, a 26 letter alphabet or a 50 letter phrase. It is all automatic.

In addition to doing all the work for you, the script will add a touch of randomness that would be visible if you were to use a pair of scissors and cut the papers yourself: you would not get the same patterns or stripes or creases at the same place for each tag. That is the beauty of the random feature coded into this script: you will NEVER get the exact same tags twice. After all, if you wanted the exact same tag, with the same papers cut in the same place, it would be just simpler to create ONE tag and change the letters, but you want something more unique than a carbon copy of a tag for a whole alpha, right?

Then, it is up to you to fasten these tags the way you want, whether you use a staple, a button, a stitching, a pin, or just tuck it under a photo.

You can get this script in the store here: Creation Cassel.

You have a chance to win this script and create your own tags for your kits or layouts. Add your name tothis thread and tell me what you can think of using these tags for. I’ll pick a winner on Monday night.

cass-AlphaTags-sample As a sample, i made this set of digits based on papers from an old kit of mine. The basic blue, white and red should make these tags very versatile. The shadows are added to the inside layers but not the outside ones. That will allow you to add a fancy shadow, making the tags lift off the papers.

You need to be logged in to download this sample. You can either login, or register on the top of this page.

Initially, i thought of giving you only the 0, 1, 2, and 3 so you could write 2013, but then, i figured you might want to use those tags for something else. What else could you use digits for?

Do you like to see layouts made using my products (freebies or purchased)? I am sure you do, and so does everyone else. That means that if you are using ANY of my products, you are allowed to share them with us. I can post your project on this blog, or in the newsletter. You can even post it in the Facebook page if you want. That is allowed! And if you don’t have a Facebook page and would be ok in sharing your layout, i can post it myself with credits to you. How is that?

New script – Loop #1

February 25, 2017March 15, 2013 by Cassel

You can now create a simple loop from any ribbon that you already have. Use these loops as an accent, fasten them with a staple, a brad, stitching, or an eyelet. The script can actually create an eyelet for you that will be proportional to the size of the ribbon.

You can tuck the loop under a photo or an element, you can use a particular ribbon with text message or shapes to match your project.

The script has a random feature integrated which means that even using the same ribbon, each run will yield a slightly different result. The length will differ and the segment of the ribbon used will be different.

The script will end in unmerged layers with NO shadows on the ribbon pieces. Why not add a shadow with the script? Because you might want to mirror the loop or have it vertical, or at an angle, and if the script was to add shadows, then they would become very odd looking after rotating the whole thing. You know how it is with shadows: if they are in the wrong direction, it can make your layout look totally weird, and you surely dont want that, do you?

This script is available in my store: Creation Cassel.

And if you want a chance to win this script for free, just post in this thread, in the forum and tell me what you could use this kind of loops for. Be creative. Think a bit outside the box so to speak and share some great ideas. The winner will be announced on Monday night.

cass-Loop1-samples

As a free sample today, i thought of creating a ribbon with a date (in fact it is a year) and making a loop out of it. I repeated the process for 3 years. If you are patient, you might be able to create a ribbon for each month, or each day of the week or if you are REALLY brave, one for each date of a whole year! Why not?

New script – Noted

March 6, 2021March 11, 2011 by Cassel

This script for PaintShop Pro will let you create fun journaling tags for just about any occasion, layout or kit. You choose the size and the base color, and run the script. That is it. Oh, wait. You have options. You can choose the colors of the lines, and the number of lines you want to show. In the end, you have unmerged layers so you can remove the outline if you want, remove some lines, change the color of some, etc. You can also create tags to print. Great for hybrid use.

You can get this script at either one of my stores: Creation Cassel, DigiScrapWarehouse.

And as usual, if you want to have a chance to win this script, hop over the DST forum in this thread and tell me what is the oddest shape tag you ever used.

cass-Noted-tags What about a free sample of what this script can do? Here are three fun tags you can use in your layouts or kits (remember that you cannot use these AS IS, commercially, but you can if you modify them). What do you think?
