New from Digicats - Shifting Gears

I didn't really want to do a SteamPunk New Year kit unless I could do it for 1911, but I figured that would weird out the Norms too much. So I settled on a New Year party kit with SteamPunk decorations.

20 papers and 104 elements, including 2 Lora Steam posers by ©Schnegge's Tuben.

Included in the kit are: 10 frames, 5 bows, 5 fireworks, 5 flowers, 5 ribbons, 5 steamers, 5 tags, 3 cogs, 3 gears, 3 masks, 3 New Year's clock, 3 party crackers, 3 rockets, 2 2011 word arts, 2 balloons, 2 beads, 2 champagne bottles, 2 glitter splats, 2 goggles, 2 noisemakers, 2 party hats, 2 trees, 1 black queen, 1 butterfly, 1 checkerboard, 1 coiled countdown, 1 curly bow, 1 doodle, 1 draped swag, 1 fireplace, 1 New Year banner, 1 harlequin, 1 hot air balloon, 1 light, 1 mesh, 1 metallic champagne flute, 1 mirrored ball, 1 New Year's ball, 1 No Resolutions Sign, 1 NY Calendar, 1 NY centerpiece, 1 owl ring, 1 shoe, 1 silver ball, 1 swizzle stick, 1 time flies, and 1 top hat.

300 DPI. Personal use only.

Shifting Gears is available at:

Sweet Dreams Tutorial

I was not going to do another tutorial today, really I was not. I was going to work on my New Years kit. But then Marie released this tube and I realized I had the exact, perfect kit for it.

So, you can try this tutorial at Di Before Dawn tutorials.

Vampiric Lust (PTU) Tutorial

I think the last time I did a tut for Vicki it was Vampiric in nature as well. Should probably try something different next time.

In any case, I am using the Misfit Vampiric tube - on of the new ones - by Marie. You can find that at SatC.

The scraps are from the Vampire Lust taggers, which you can get at Gemini Creationz.

Try this tutorial at Di Before Dawn tutorials.

Morgana (PTU) Tutorial

I saw this tube on Marie's photo gallery and for some reason, it didn't look familiar. So I went and checked and guess what? I'd bought it a while ago. I think it's just cause the background was different on FB.

In any case, the tube is Pink and you can find here HERE.

The scraps are from the Morgana kit by Pink Princess Scraps, and you can find them HERE.

Try this tutorial for yourself at Di Before Dawn tutorials.

The Colors of Steampunk!

Do you find vintage dull and boring? Guess again!

This collection of 37 SteamPunk themed PSP gradients will really have your designs popping their sprockets!

This is a resource pack for designers who use PSP. Great for creating your SteamPunk themed kits and elements. Simply copy the gradients over to your MY PSP Files gradient folder and you're all set to begin creating in colors!

Why stick with one color when you can go gradient?

Also included are four full size sample elements and six each sample papers in both full (3600 x 3600 pixel) and Taggers (800 x 800 pixels) sizes.

This is a commercial use item and cannot be resold as is. You must use it to make something. Credit not required, but appreciated.

Please read and abide by my commercial terms of use. Gradients (only) may be used CU4CU without an additional license from me.

Blue Moon PTU TUtorial

Joseph Corsentino is no longer licensing out of MPT, BUT, I wrote the tutorial so you could pretty much drop any tube in there in it would work. I tried it out with about half a dozen.

The scraps are from the Stargazing PTU kit from Nette's NightOwl Works. (You could even stick one of the cookies from the kit in there and it would look nice.)

Try it for yourself at Di Before Dawn tutorials.
