So, go to Corel Discovery- and the end word, use both “freebie” and then change it to “free-stuff”. Two different pages. PM me if you can’t figure it out.
Well 16 scrips ought to hold you for a good long while, Michele, LOL! I hope you got some fun ones!
You can just email Carole — or she’ll probably jump on here this morning since we are all looking at it.
I believe she just switches the billing on your credit card to yearly, so no big deal, and I believe she prorates it if your month isn’t due yet. (Or perhaps she would wait until the cycle comes up again, and then do the yearly billing. Then you would be “up” this time every year.)
Does anybody know if the yearly Scrapbook Campus subscriptions are on any kind of sale? I was thinking of upgrading from the month-to-month plan, saving $50.00 and putting that toward scripts….but I’m still $50.00 shy of the total. 🙂
Hi, everybody, was down with the flu…a real killer. I’d advise against it. :). I do not believe I have ever had a worse year health-wise in my entire life, even adding all the years together, I don’t think would come up to this year!
meanwhile a crop of very lovely and wonderful, creative cards was posted while I was sick, and I have to mention a couple – the ones on this page because I can’t go back without losing my text – because I just HAVE TO! The cats in the sleigh! Anita, did you put your own cats photos into the outfits? I just thought it was so cute! Hilariously cute! So Victorian!
mary, congratulations on your Eagle Scout! That’s wonderful! (Along with the g great! Holy cow!)
Monique, very interesting on the date stamp script. I need to go back and look at it because what you did was very hip and cool. I didn’t realize that was the script. I thought it put a date on the bottom of your pic, so I definitely need to go back and see it in the store! Or did you do something different? Please tell!
Marie-Claire, you are a bad influence on me….first the palette maker2 script, now the ribbon factory! 🙂 just kidding I appreciate seeing them in action.
sue, I need help. You have a perfectly sized texture on your blue Christmas card with the bells on it. File name Day7-1, I think. The texture is not too deep, not too shallow, not too big, but big enough to see in the gallery. How did you do it!???
Cindy, YGG! I thought you were new? If you are new at PSP, then you are amazing to have done that cupcake card. I thought it was hard! Even if you are not new, I found it Definitely challenging!
and Shirley, you and your friend look like you’ve had a lot -a whole lot – of good times between you!
I did a little Black Friday shopping at the scrapbook stores….one of them had Christmas tags…maybe $2.00 for 15? I was going to buy them then I figured, “nah, I can just make them myself.” Hahaha. Not sure it’s true. And I have to buy some wrapping paper to having something to match. With my new palette script!
I guess that’s it. I haven’t spoken to anybody in what? 5 days? Missed Thanksgiving at my daughter’s. My husband stayed with me, so she was stuck with a big spread and no guests. 🙁 Sorry I’m so chatty. Just glad I’m not in the hospital, though my husband had them in speed dial because I was really sick.
Don’t love this one, either, but if I take out the daffodil, added “thank you”, or “Get Well Soon”, I could make it into a Quick Page card.
Monique, that’s a lovely sentiment and a great photo to go with it! Just brilliant!
…..and Corrie, that’s a wonderful idea. I already have my Christmas cards for this year, but that doesn’t mean I might not have something coming up requiring an invitation! In any case it’s beautiful.
I had an old friend, now deceased, who sent out Groundhog Day cards EVERY SINGLE YEAR! For decades! She said she wasn’t keeping up with people’s sex lives or their religious affiliations, and figured Ground Hog Day was as non-denominational and non-invasive as anything . LOL! (I always thought she missed the boat because thanksgiving is a much more card-worthy event and gratitude and thanks are also non-invasive and non-denominational.)
I’m sorry Trish, I don’t know where it goes. I *think* the clipboard empties when you restart and everything goes *pouf*.
Here is mine. I hate it. I thought it looked like a for sale sign with that ribbon crossed at the top – and added the chains but didn’t bother centering them because the whole thing is awful.
What I learned — Note to self: Use a straight ribbon if you’re worried about it. That warp brush was horrible.
Question: why didn’t she smooth or feather that oval (photo) selection? And why isn’t it pixilated?
Promote selection to a layer. (Never did this before)
Using the Hue map (which I had never done before)
Warp brush to straighten ribbon (which I will leave to the experts)
Spacing and directions on 1/4 fold or 4-fold card with text inside. (which I shall remember)
Oh, yeah, tags. LOL! I was thinking they had a special name when I wrote that! Yes, and template for those utilizing a full sheet of paper (cardstock) would be great, but it occurred to me that only about half of us think 8.5” x 11” is a common size. ?
Those are really nice tags. The blue one has sooo much beautiful detail – it would take me a couple hours to make it! And another couple to think it up…..the teeny tiny sleighs and stars are just so perfect!
And Sharla, you wouldn’t believe how many friends of mine celebrate Chinese New Year when they have no Chinese – or even Asian- ancestry at all! That circular rabbit element is gorgeous, and once again, a gorgeous gold color and shine. I really need to learn that!
Here ya go, here is mine. I cheated….I started keeping track of where this stuff is located. That way I can look it up in the future when I can’t remember the exact directions, LOL!
Card 1 – resizing using the top, bottom, left and right. I knew it was to be used how you used it, but I never saw the potential until Card 1. The exact instructions instead of me floundering around helped, too.
Reminder, the right-click paint can dropper.
Reminder, duplicating the font and turning the bottom one into a raster with shadow.What I didn’t understand: why don’t you use “open as copy” script for all these instead of opening and closing so many?
Card 2 – the 25 px stripe x 4 from the little 100 px square box.
Card 3 – the amazing Diamond pattern. That is my favorite!
I also liked how the border was interrupted by the flower line…and the flower line went outside the border. I had never thought of that before.
Plus, I love that font, especially the letter W, and now I have it! (Thanks to Trish and Sharon)Card 4 – I didn’t know the corner cutters went on the edge/to the edge of the paper and the corner cutter brushes went just inside the corner. (And I know those words aren’t right, but hopefully people know what I mean.)
Card 5 – the BIGGIE is that I finally understand why you are so enamored with Groups with the stork. All this time I’ve been using the link layers command, but I can see now that what I really needed was Groups. (I always figured out of sight out of mind, and I’d forget, but I don’t forget.) I also like how the stork is just a wee bit out of the circle.
Now, what I learned from the other posters is just as long a list, I might add. People do a little name dropping on places where they acquired images or filters, or whatever, so I picked up some really good stuff and new ideas. So a big shout out to the other classmates who had such amazing ideas for cards.
This is an excellent class! We need those little Christmas package To: From: . cards…do those have a name? You could print maybe 9 or 12 large ones on a single sheet of paper and save a bunch of money! (That’s what my White Elephant cards were…they go on a package designated for no one in particular in a white elephant gift exchange. It occurred to me after I posted it and looked at it with all the other cards that people from other countries might not know what it was.)
Marie-Clare, That is such a darling card!!! The text, the graphics and the execution – just darling!
Sue, You are right, but I comment on the two or three above mine. And your text is amazing. I want to learn how to do that C – actually I know how to do it, I want the ability to see the opportunity. To have the design ability to do it. To even think of doing it. Sometimes I look at a blank canvas and cannot think of what to do for the title.
Ann your gold is amazing –very pretty and realistic, I’m going to look for Rocket? gradient? Horror Story and the corner punches really came out nice looking with lots of detail.
And here is mine to give credence to my comment to Sue about title work. There was just no where to put it!
Thanks, Trish! I think I will change my card with the newer font which I like a LOT better than the one I used. (kontikienchanted).
Christine, you did a great job for a rookie, but it does take a long time, doesn’t it? I’m not even a rookie and I bet I spent 5 hours on this stupid thing!
Lesley, same here! I can’t even see, so when I add a new layer, I actually do not use the default “Raster 1” or whatever, I use something like “Border”or the exact text, e.g. on my card “Get Well Soon”. That helps a little bit. Not a lot but a little! Carole is a fan of “groups”, so pay attention to those. She might have 5 or 6 layers in a group, so that shortens the long list by a lot.
I really want that font, Holiday Melodine?, but it’s a little too expensive. I didn’t see the bundle!
Bonnie gave me this idea, thank you! — for everybody at the Daffodil Society meeting to sign!
Ok. I pretty much have no idea how to get it in the forum from the gallery, so here goes!
Ooooh, I thought you wanted that exact EXACT card, but with more uniform ornaments. (Probably because I’m always trying to change something myself).
Nev-er mind! (Said in a Saturday Night Live voice from the 1980s when they totally got something wrong) ?
If it were me, and I agree, the round shape would look a lot better, I would look for the kit that paper originally came in and try to use that. If not a paper, then look at the things they call templates. (Which I would call a pattern overlay.)
If you can’t find it, then copy a couple of large squares from the red background and past them over the shapes, lining up the dots, and see how it looks. (If it’s possible, or if there are gradients that mess it up.). If it’s possible, I would spend a 1/2 hour doing that. It will take about 20-30. Don’t expect to go across the bottom and just plunk it down over it because the lines will show up as a pattern which will need to be disguised. Use the clone brush on another layer to tidy things up, like faint lines in the pattern. When you have the bg absolutely perfect, get it all in one layer before you do anything else, and save it as a new file.
The little text things can be cut, copied and pasted directly from that QP. Same with the “string” for the ornaments, and the little Star at the bottom, unless you have something better or can make something better.
Pardon me if you think I’m butting in, but this is the one PSP trick at which I excel. 🙂
Oh, shoot! I missed Carole! I wanted her to see my keylines from the Q&A Session!!!
Here is my Day 2. I made it into a thank you card. Although I *did* make a border, it didn’t fit with my vision, and likewise the thicker ribbon border, so I eliminated both. My idea on this is to maybe make it a quarter fold card (thanks for the name for that, Susan Ewart!) So I left some room to allow for the smaller size.
LOL, Cindy! That’s how I feel too!
Dianne, I wanted to comment on your printer observation – and thank you for reminding me! I have had many, many printers in my time, and I haven’t had a one that printed blocks of color well reliably. And your little graphic is adorable and a special fillip.
All, I am so impressed – you have outdone yourselves and it shows! I would be happy to mail out any of these cards!
Here is mine.

Look at what is showing up in my PSP 2022 all of a sudden…advertisements within the program! I want to turn this off! And since they have worn out their welcome, I also want the screen at the END, when I mam shutting down to go away, too!
It’s the perennial questions, isn’t it? How do I file all this stuff???
I make the file name VERY long and VERY descriptive. The words I use would take care of things which cannot be seen in the icons — so size, but not color (I can see the color is pea green when I’m looking for forest green. Or maybe I can just change the hue anyway, and it’s unimportant except to find all the Green stuff, for example.) I use the folders and subfolders. Then I use Windows search to find the files I need.
Green ribbon from Lab 6-6 would be turned into Green Ribbon even ends full length transparent nice. The even ends are needed for making it into a circular element or a frame (using Carole’s scripts). Transparency isn’t seen in the icons. “Nice” is to let me know I consider it a success. :))
It gets filed under: Scrapbook –>Suzy –> Elements –> Ribbon –> Green Ribbon even ends full length transparent nice. If there is one similar I made, it would be Scrapbook –>Suzy –> Elements –> Ribbon –> Green Ribbon even ends full length transparent nice 2 (and 3 and 4 and 5 as long as they are all fitting under the file name and one isn’t blue or non-transparent.)
This is not every one’s cup o tea, I might add. I have done this since the beginning, and I always answer questions like this in the forums, and not once has somebody said, “Hey, I do that , too!” or “Hey, that’s a great idea!”
I just updated my spreadsheet (no pictures, but I added my new scripts from the last couple of months….)
THEN I cross-referenced my favorites (wishlist) in the store and found three scripts I already own were in my wishlist! So that’s a biggie right there (deleting them).
I think you all have wonderful ways of keeping track. My challenge will be to figure out exactly what I need…one thing is a picture, LOL! I need my pictures! And the other, I believe, will be a description in my own words. Not sure.
I have attempted this before and I think I got all the way to the letter B before giving up. 🙂You know, Corrie, that might be the better answer for me, too. Scrolling up and down gives me a headache. Plus with some of those scripts, one has to get one’s ducks in a row first, maybe open a font or a ribbon or something, and some can start with a blank screen. It would be nice to know that up front.
There is no reason I also couldn’t add the pictures like Mary uses, or use her entire format. However, I think my script count is somewhere near 150. That would be quite a thick book, even without adding and more scripts (which you know I am going to do). Do you have a ring binder for this printed book?
Hmm. Both good choices. This will require more thought, but I am finishing cutting back my flower garden and planting my daffodils for the year, then tulips & Lilium, then Christmas probably, THEN organizing my scripts.
I wondered if somebody didn’t already have it done! Mary, that must be a hundred pages long! (if for not other reason than it looks like you have a LOT of scripts!)
I did a spread sheet, but No 1, I am not keeping it up, and No 2, i have no idea what some of these do, and I have to go to the Creation Cassel store to find out.
I’m not sure how to show my spreadsheet and still make it 600 px…it’s unreadable
OMG! I just clicked the link for the videos…. 96???? LOL! I am shocked there are that many!
Durn. Well I’m going to do that starting now, but probably making it a January project. I was doing some stuff with templates today, and I thought, “hey, I bet I have a script that does this!”. But then “multi tool” script and others with generic names got me bogged down. Turns out I didn’t have a script, and turns out there wasn’t one in the store, either.
Thanks for the quick response!
