Yes, all the layers are unmerged in dimensions2 script. I don’t know about dimensions script, as I only have dimensions2 script.
Michele, select the dimension script, but don’t run it until you have selected the SOP. Which is the shift key, and F3. That will fetch up the choices. Once you have chosen, remember the number and run the script. I tend to write down the hex codes for the colours I want to use. I hope this helps. The other alternative is to use the block letter tutorial. (Creative Scrap) That way you can set the angle yourself. Of course that will take longer, and I know time is always of the essence for you. You can do a whole word, not just one letter at a time.
I don’t have the first dimensions script only dimensions 2 script, which I think gives you more choices.
Gorgeous page Marie-Claire. Your blending is superbly done. Also check out Christmas 4 ( think it’s 4) masterclass. Carole demonstrated those trees there too. Using the brush tool.
Oh well Julie, you won’t forget next time, will you!!! 🙂 Here is one I did a long time ago, using the balls and bubbles tool.
It’s lovely as it is Julie. I see what you mean by the baubles looking flat. Had I have know I would have directed to Effects, artistic effects, balls and other bubbles. Single bubble. It’s easy to create your own realistic baubles, using this tool.
Thank you for the Snowflakes Carole.
Created what I call a cornered frame. Played around with some effects on the frame. Antique mosaic, ( snowy effect) straw wall, (icy effect) to depict snow and ice. To achieve a soft cold dreamy effect. Added a blur and lowered the opacity slightly on the snowflakes. A simple flat card. 5×7.
Very nicely done Corrie. It certainly would pass for an unedited single photo. Had you not told us otherwise. I have to admit, I have never used the frames that come with PSP.
This one is for next Xmas. Snow globe with a date stand. I used the mesh warp tool on the 20, to enable the globe to sit comfortably on the stand. Dimensions 2 script used on the date. This one is still a work in progress, in readiness for next year. As I still have to refine the stand, to make it look realistic.
Just as well I made the most of the nice weather over the weekend. Today it has been a total white out. Playing around with snow Xmas ornaments. Used the snow globe template I made. Added some text, rather than an element. Using effects, geometric effects.
First chance I’ve had to scroll through to view the wonderful pages. So many wonderful pages submitted. Aren’t we all just very creative.
Here I used 2 photos, two of many I took during a photo session. They were hand held photos. I had to perfectly align the table in the photos, straighten and resize. I then used a mask, and gradient to blend them together.
I added the butterfly to the photo of the Alf alfa flowers. Extracted the butterfly using 2 masks. I had to then extract, and promote to a new layer some of the petals in order for the butterfly leg to be placed behind the petal. I then used masks to be very precise with the extractions of the petals Also other petals, to be placed in front of the butterfly to make it look realistic.
Thank you Susan. I can guarantee, you will have lots of fun with those Lace Edges. The lace used in the above page, isn’t one of Carole’s, but a brush I acquired a long time ago. In my opinion, Carole’s are of a higher quality, than the other brushes I have.
Playing around with lace and decorative borders. Distortion effects, Polar Coordinates.
I’ll start the ball rolling with a blast from the past. I don’t normally repost any of my pages. I created this back in the Autumn of 2014. I used the brush tool within several masks. I don’t use several layers within a single mask, as Carole demonstrated, instead I create new masks. Which has always been my preference.
I will create a new page, to post later on.
I’ve caught up, after my trip home for almost 11 weeks. Cards, calendars, advent calendars all done, and posted. Also other bits and pieces that I had been working on. Here is my gold page, which I did this evening. The photo was taken last year. Which I hadn’t showcases until now. Lifted corner, split frame, Carole’s bow script. Turned green ivy to gold. The background paper is the photo, using blend mode and opacity. Used one of my own tags. I used the template from the first day of the Greeting card workshop.
Played around with creating some envelopes. Here’s one of them. I used a vector shape, rectangle, rounded corners, and the pen tool. Following Carole’s day 7 tutorial, to complete the card workshop. Later on I will be posting the envelope in the file section on FB. For those that would like to have it, to use in their projects. It will be a PSP file, with everything on separate layers. Excluding shadows.
Corrie, your last entry is lovely. I’ve done the same with regards to the envelope template. Although I’m unlikely to print it off.
I agree, the huge number of entries submitted are in a word ‘phenomenal’
Thank you Susan. I have all of Carole’s crochet tubes, corner and edge punches. They are worth every penny. I really do use them all a great deal.
As for the Grackle, a few will stay all winter, providing there are plenty of berries. I’d sooner see them all migrate, same goes for the Robin. This one is a male. I have dozens of them nesting out in the trees each year. They are so noisy. Head over to FB to get the png lace frame I added to the file section.
Day 7. I did two. I took the photo of the grackle yesterday. I was away yesterday, having fun in the snow on a bird count. Doing them this morning, and now posting them.
I’ve created a snowflake frame using a brush, which I will post in the file section on facebook. Perhaps, for those that are not on FB, Carole can place a link to it on here. It’s a png file.
I used one of Carole’s crochet tubes to create the frame. I’m not a big fan of a stark white background. I do like the look and feel of vintage paper, so I used a small texture, and a hint of grey.
Thank you Carole for this superb workshop. The templates are what I love, simple, and minimalistic, as so many of you will know, that I’m very much a non frilly, busy page creator.
Day 6. I decided to go with a thank you card.
Susan, those corner and border punches make for an exquisite touch to any project. I have all of them. I used a Xmas corner punch in the label below.
Suzy, I think you are referring to tags. which you attach to wrapped gifts. There are a few tutorials on how to create them, in the creative scrap. You can print them, using business card sheets. 10 to a sheet . I use them in projects. Here are some Xmas ones. You can have an image on the front, and to and from on the back, or add to and from on a decorated front. Here are some examples. I submitted these as freebies for year’s the Xmas countdown.
Day 5. Twice now I haven’t followed the template. This is a 5×7 card. I modified the inside of my granddaughter’s half fold card. Both of them are into dinos, and not just dino cartoons. While I was home, I bought them a book on dinos. By the time I had left, they could pronounce and identify 6 different species of dino. More than what their parents can do. Lol
Thank you Suzy. There are several masterclasses, and in the creative scrap, on text. There’s word art, subway art, create a word tree, and many, many more. For inspiration, scroll through the campus, viewing the previews, perhaps something will grab your attention for the project you are working on. Just a thought.
As I browse through all the cards submitted. There are far to many to comment on individually. I’m amazed by the creativity, and quality of each one. Well done, ladies and gentlemen!
For many of us it’s like going back to nursey school, back to the basics. It’s actually a great course in revision. As I use tools without thinking, it’s become second nature to me.
I had a stressful day yesterday. Made a trip to the city. I only go about twice a year, and that’s twice to many. But it’s a necessity, to stock up on things I can’t get locally.
Carole’s corner punch. My own globes. How many of you remember that Christmas masterclass?
Instead of creating diamonds for the background. I used the same technique to create this background. I used a font . Holly and berries, coloured them to create the pattern.Not sure why the image wasn’t displayed. Not that it matters, as you can click on the link to open it.
Day2. I’m afraid I didn’t stick rigidly to the template. I used a brush on the top ribbon. I omit the border around the page. I used one of Carole’s corner punches. I use them a lot, as I love them. They are so versatile. Created a simple frame around the main photo. My own photo and word art.
