New script – Layered Text

cass-LayeredText

Some Paintshop Pro users like to make signatures tags, cards in addition to digital scrapbooking. This script was requested by Sarah who wanted to make those signature tags with two layers of letters, but found it was quite a task to do manually. So this is how this script came to be.

With this script, the most complicated task you will have to complete, is choosing the options! You can start with any text, but you have to choose the font, the size, the color, for both layers, then, you add an outline (you choose the size and the color) then, you can add shadows to YOUR liking. What is so tedious about this kind of text? Each letter has to be on a separate layer so you will end up with a ton of layers. What does the script do for you? It renames all the layers so you can easily find which layer you might want to edit, change, or move once you want to personalize it even more.

You can do a lot of creative work with this script: create a date, a title, add a name or a wish to a card, make a door sign, place cards, and much more!

You can get this script in my store on special this weekend: Creation Cassel.

cass-LayeredText-SampleAs for every new release, i have a give away  in the DST Happy Place section. Check this thread, and add your name to it. I will be back on Monday night with the name of a winner. It might just be you!

 

Did you want to use one of those layered words? Here is a free sample. Whether you have summer or winter photos, you probably have either a vacation photo or a school photo. Choose which one you want to use. These samplers are in png format (not layered) and the shadows are not included so you can add your own to match your project. Will you show me what you do with it?

cass-Stamp1 And by the way, did you notice the other 'new’ script? In fact, it is a pretty old script, to create a postage stamp. It was among the first scripts i coded, and it was a challenging one. For some unknown reasons, i had it in my older stores but never had it in my personal store. Either that, or it vanished at one point or another. In any case, i decided to find the old copy, dust it and update it to the newer PSP versions. And it is now available in the store. Check it for yourself.

New script – Overlapped

cass-Overlapped

Do you like to have slightly uneven text for titles or wordart? Do you hate the tedious process to realize it? Of course, your graphic program is made to have nicely even characters in a word, so you have to take extra steps: have each letter on its own layer, choose a single font for each letter, choose the color, and move somehow, and repeat for each letter (might be ok for a short word but if it is long, it is tedious). This script for Paintshop Pro will do all the process for you, with a randomness that will be cool in the end. If you don’t like the actual way the letters are, you can change them around since each letter is on a separate layer. And if you don’t like the colors, or the font used, it just takes a few seconds to redo it. Trust me, i have done it a few times!

Are you on the lookout for an original way to show a date? A place? A name? or a full title? This will be perfect for you. You can use the same script in so many ways, with so many options that it will look like you did it all by hand, one word at the time (shh… we won’t tell! you used a script).

If you are a designer, this will be a great way to add a few themed words to your kit, in the matching colors from your palette.

You can find this script in my store: Creation Cassel

I know that some scrappers already bought this script, but whether you bought it or not, you can still go and add your name to the RAK thread in the DST forum HERE for a chance to win this script. If you already purchased it, you would just get a coupon for a future new release. Go post before Monday night!

cass-Overlapped Time for a freebie! Here is a sample of two words that might be common enough in layouts. I am sure you have photos of friends or family so there HAS to be a layout where you can use one of these two words. These were made using the script, with two or three colors. They are in PSD format, with each letter being separate. If you want to the letters around, you can do it. If you want to replace a letter with an element, you can do so too.

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

I am sure you will use these in a layout, so why not share how you use it? I can post the layout in here and in my newsletter (or even in the product description, who knows?)

 

 

 

 

April promotion

I think a lot of you had fun shopping in April during our Built your Discount promotion. Of course, you were more numerous than i could count, on my birthday! Thanks for the wishes. By now, i have emailed everyone who made at least $10 purchase during the whole month. This discount coupon is valid for ONE purchase, but it can be as big a purchase as you want. Plan wisely, and use it before the end of May. Fill your wishlist; it might help!

If you didn’t get an email from me with your coupon and you think you should have had one, check your spam folder (sometimes they eat the good stuff), and if you still cannot find it, just let me know and i’ll look into it.

New Script – Text Wrapping

cass-TextWrapping

Do you sometimes, wish you could place text within a shape and have the text automatically wrap to the next line? You know that PSP does not have that feature. So, do you find yourself having to add spaces here and there to make the text somewhat fit the shape or the space you want to use? This script will now do it for you. Use one of the multiline shaped paths included (others will be made available soon), enter your text, and run the script. You can modify the size of the shape if you want and the text will fit that size/shape. If you want to add another paragraph, just go ahead. (be sure to read the instructions before using this script for better results and no frustration!).

Available at my stores: Creation Cassel, and Do It Digi.

And if you want a chance to win this script, go add your name to the RAK thread at DST. I will draw for one winner on Monday night.
