Program used: PSP 9

Supplies: Seamless Pattern Creator 1 (PSP Scripts). The pack can be bought at Digital Scrap World.

A colorswatch and a texture. Or you can use mine (right click to save to your own computer):

* Install the scripts. How to do it, is described in the pack.

* Open the colorswatch and your texture pattern in your PSP.

* Chose two colors from the swatch with your color picker. I use color 5 as my background and color 8 as my foreground color.

* Run script “lhsPATTERN_TILE_vol1_01″. You now have a seamless tile that looks like this:

* Open a new 3600*3600 px. canvas.

* Chose a color from the swatch. I use #7. Pick the color with your color picker and flood fill the canvas.

* Add a new layer.

* In your color/material palette chose the pattern option. Find your new tile and set the scale to 25:

* Flood fill the empty layer with this pattern.

* Add a new layer. Again go to the color/material palette and find lhsPATTERN_tut_SeamlessPatternCreator1. Set the scale to 100.

* Flood fill the new layer in your canvas with this pattern.

* Change the blend mode of this layer to overlay and lower the opacity to approx. 65.

Your paper is now finished! Remember to save! :)

I have made three other examples of how to use the Seamless Pattern Creator 1. I have left out the text here and is just showing the settings with pictures.

EXAMPLE # 1:

I combine two of the scripts in this one. That can be done, when the tiles has the same size (/in this case 600*600 px) and the scale and angle is set to the same.

Background color in the paper: #5

Result:

EXAMPLE # 2:

Paper background color: # 6

Result:

EXAMPLE # 3:

Paper background color # 1.

Result:

You can download the four papers here. These are 3600*3600 px. while the examples above are 600*600 px. You will have to click a couple of times on these preview to get to the full size.

Supplies: Shiny Button (PSP Scritp) by Lise-Lotte Sunesen. Available here.

Three papers from kit Delightful Autumn by Lise-Lotte Sunesen. Available here.

Open one of the papers, minimize it. Go to background color and select Pattern. Chose the paper, set the scale to 50.

Chose a foreground color. It will turn out grey/silver no matter which color. I use a grey color.

Find and run the script lhsBUTTON_shiny_01_vectorstyle (/see the link to the store in the above). If you don´t want to buy the script, but still want to try out this tut, you can download the buttons, I have made for this tut here. Beware, that they are for PERSONAL USE only. Thank you! :)

This is what my button looks like, when I use paper number 6 from the kit Delightful Autumn.

Save the finished button as a png.

Make a couple of more buttons with different papers. Again save these as pngs.

Now open one of the buttons and with your text tool write an A. I used the font Kozuka Mincho Pro size 250 for my button alpha. Choose a fairly dark brown color for the letter.

Then play with the blend modes to get a nice burned look.

Here are screenshots of the settings,  I have used on my alpha buttons:

tut05

Remember to save you alpha buttons as pngs as you are finished with them.

Repeat the process with all the letters and/or numbers, you want to use.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial! :)

Program: PSP 9 (/the script used works in PSP 9 and up)

Level: Beginner

Supplies: X-mas Candle (PSP Script) by Lise-Lotte Sunesen. You can buy it here.

Subject: How to use a PSP script including tips to make it as easy as possible.

1. Find lhsCHRISTMAScandlewithpearls among your PSP scripts.

2. In this script the foreground material creates the candle and the background material (along with the foreground material) creates the pearls.

I used a solid color for the candle part and a pattern for the pearls.

3. To make running the script as easy as possible for you make sure to set the script to run in automatic toogle mode.

lhstut_script_pic1

To do so make sure the box showed above is not selected. That way you don´t have to click more than once, when running the script.

4. Now run the script by clicking on the triangle button.

lhstut_script_pic2

It is right next to the script name.

5. With the more “heavy” scripts it can sometimes be a bit confusing to see, when the script is actually finished. Just check in the script line (also shown above), if the red x button shows. If it does, the script is still running.

6. When the script is finished the candle still needs to have a flame added. You do that by browsing your psp tubes and find the “Fire” tube.

7. Add a new layer to your candle and put a flame to it with the fire tube. Since you have added it as a new layer, you can easily move the flame to the wanted position.

8. Your candle is now finished, and you can save it in your prefered format.  Just remember to chose one that allows transparant background.
