Photoshop brushes

I am so thrilled to tell you that I am now a designer at Sweet Shoppe Designs ! I’ve been working behind the scenes for a few weeks now and I’ve met all my fellow designers (it is such an awesome and inspiring community), but now my shop is finally open and I get to tell the whole world!

For my debut, I have a new solo kit and a collab with the AMAZING Studio Basic Designs. Next to that, I have 7 re-releases. I’ll be adding new and old(er) things in the weeks and months to come, but for now, let’s take a look at my shop.

The first you’ll probably notice is that my preview has changed. Sweet Shoppe believes very strongly in promoting all the designers and the shop as a whole, that is why we all have the same preview. It took me a while to get used to it, but I love it now and I’m considering a rebranding for the previews in my Etsy and Creative Market shops as well… that’s for later though.

Let me show you my new solo release!

Winter Solstice Bundle

Winter Solstice digital scrapbooking collection captures the magic of winter, cold nights and the dark days of December, right before the light and the longer days return. Christmas is the Christian answer to the celebrating of the returning of the light and so this digital scrapbooking kit is also very suitable to document your Christmas memories.

The colour scheme is one of contrast: dark and light, cold and warm, from frosty pink to gray, to blank wood and warm orange and brown, and a touch of green. The patterns were inspired by Nordic sweaters, cosy furry blankets and frosty mornings.

Decorate your layouts with any of the natural elements and birch wood textures, vintage ephemera and stamps, engraved wood slices and some light accents, create titles with the birch wood alpha; use one of the torn paperstrips to add intrest to your page, clip your photos to the frosty photo masks and finish with one of the winter quotes… feel the magic of the winter solstice!

Winter Solstice Bundle is permanently discounted by 30%
You get an extra 25% discount if you grab it now !

I am also re-releasing the following collections, kits and packs:

Everything is 25% off until 6 AM Sunday morning - so hurry up if you want to grab some deals!

I will re-release most of my existing designs in the weeks and months to come!

Please note that there are a few changes in my Sweet Shoppe shop :

1. I will offer kits only as a whole at Sweet Shoppe. I will no longer offer separate elements and paperpacks, unless the paperpack is an extra pack, and unless the elements pack is an addon. I will however, still do this in my Etsy shop, the upload sizes are so limited, that I really have no other choice.
2. I have reviewed my pricing. Since I will no longer offer elements and paperpacks separately, the list price of bundles has become cheaper.
3. That includes that bundles will now be around 30% off (instead of the former 40%), but if you purchase the bundle before the new release sales ends, you can do even bigger bargains than before!

Please note that new releases at Sweet Shoppe Designs will be 25% off from 6 PM EST Friday when the store goes live until 6 AM Sunday morning.

 

I can honestly say that I’m finding it hard to make a layout without it - some splatters, a painted mask, anything will do…

If you love paint as much as I do, then you will love the paint packs that I have added to my stores this week! They are commercial use packs, but you can use them for your personal use projects as well.

Let’s take a closer look:

Hi!

My release for this week is a new commercial use pack. It’s a set of 12 buttons in green tones, that I have photographed and extracted. These will make a great addition to your designer stash.

Now on sale (30 % off) at Digital Scrapbooking Studio, The Digichick and Etsy, until Friday the 15th.

NEW for Etsy buyers: Etsy has no feature that allows sellers to set a sale, that is why I never offered my designs with an introductory sale like I do at Digital Scrapbooking Studio and The Digichick. But I have found a way around it. I will now offer new releases in a separate section, where I set the (sale) price manually.

Also available at Creative Market.

This pack is for Commercial and Personal Use. Read my CU TOU carefully please. Drop shadows in the preview are for display purposes only.

 

Seed Packets and Bubbles & Splatters

Not new, but new this week at Digital Scrapbooking Studio are these two packs:

I had noticed that these were not available at Digital Scrapbooking Studio, while they are in my other shops. You can grab them at 30% off until Friday 15th.

 

A Moment Captured

Did you see the awesome Art Therapy Challenge that Toiny has set up at Digital Scrapbooking Studio? She has used my A Moment Captured Collection to create her layout and as a bonus you can grab all the separate packs of this collection at 30% off, not just for a week, but for the whole month of April! This offer is not valid on the bundle and the commercial use packs.

 

Sneak Peek

You can now grab these templates at 30% off in my shop at Digital Scrapbooking Studio and in my shop at The Digichick.

It’s been a while since I last posted a message here. Actually, it’s been QUITE a while since I last posted anything new. Time has flewn by so quickly and so much has happened since my last post…

I’ll give you a quick overview:

1. I have gone solo on Etsy!
   As you may recall I joined forces with Tinne and Joachim from VectoriaDesigns in July and they offered me the amazing opportunity to sell my designs in their shop. But it was always my intention to have my own Etsy shop one day. End of November I took the leap and it feels good! Take a look at my shop here.
2. Next to Etsy and Creative Market, I now have a third digi home at Digital Scrapbooking Studio
   After a guest period of one month, I am allowed to stay! Visit my shop here.
3. I now have a Creative Team! I have five girls who make layouts with my products, and help me promote my products: Eszter, Jen, Ona, Erin and Valé. It takes a lot of work from my hands, it always helps if more people help you promoting and showing what can be done with my designs.

Next to that, I just keep on creating! Can you believe that Christmas is just 10 days away? If you haven’t already, you will definitely get that feeling with my new Christmas themed collection. Created with traditional Christmas colours - red and green - this large collection will help you document your most precious Christmas memories. ‘Cosy Christmas’ is made up of both realistic and artsy elements and will appeal to a variety of crafting and scrapping styles. Let me show you what’s included:

Cosy Christmas Fantasy Papers

12 patterned Christmas papers, including: 2 striped papers, 2 ‘Toile de Jouy’ style papers with Christmas images, 2 papers with a snowflake pattern, 1 paper with a dots pattern, 1 paper with a plaid pattern and 4 ‘collage’ papers.

Cosy Christmas Solid Papers

6 solid and slightly distressed papers in traditional Christmas colours, red, green and cream.

Cosy Christmas Elements

A pack of 41 Christmas themed scrapbook embellishments, in a mix of realistic and artsy elements. Included are: 3 brads, 2 buttons, 1 piece of paper doily, 1 vintage holly garland, 1 frosty leaf, 1 poinsettia image, 3 veneer snowflake images, 4 artsy transfers or overlays, 3 ‘frame’ overlays, 3 patterned paintstrokes, 3 images of paint, 1 lace overlay, 9 handdrawn elements and 6 wordart strips

Cosy Christmas Washi Tape

A pack with 15 pieces of digital washi tape for a fun touch to your Christmas themed projects.

Jolly Santa Brushes

A set of 6 fun composite Christmas Photoshop brushes with an image of a jolly Santa Claus, ornamental edging and some writing. I’ve included all the png files as well, recolouring is done for preview only. The brushes are maximum 2500 px high and 2462 px wide.

Christmas Carols Wordart

Here’s a pack of 6 composite Christmas wordart images using vintage clipart and words from famous Christmas carols. I’ve included all the png files, a black and white version ànd an ABR file. Maximum size is 2307 px wide and 915 px high.

Christmas Photomasks Vol.01

6 large painted photo clipping masks, with an ornamental touch and edges of holly. Clip your photos to them, or recolour them to use as backdrops (experiment with the blending modes in Photoshop for surprising results).

Christmas Tickets Vol.01

Here’s a fun set of 6 different ‘Special Guest’ tickets for your next Christmas party. Each ticket comes in two different colours and measures 1,42 x 3,78 in (3,61 x 9,60 cm). The pack contains 12 png files and a printable sheet.
