Patterned Overlays #1
$8.99
This pack of pattern overlays is HUGE, 38 in total! Patterns range from simple diamonds and chevrons suitable for everyday kits to complex trellis patterns that would look fabulous as a metallic pattern on a solid color in a New Year’s kit. Some are composed of multiple layers, and are in layered PSD format, while the remainder are supplied as transparent PNGs. All are 12″ x 12″ at 300 dpi, and are commercial-use friendly, including for CT and freebies.

“Newsprint Textures #3”
Textures are an absolutely critical part of any digital designer's toolbox; they add realism and presence to solid papers, patterned papers, and elements. This pack includes 12 rippled and creased textures scanned from blank newsprint and carefully modified to add their texture to almost any color; I find overlay mode works best with most colors, though very light or very dark shades may need a different blend mode. I've kept them in JPG format to minimize file size and download times. As always, my templates are CU-friendly, including for CT and freebie purposes, and credit is not required but always appreciated.
“Valentine’s Day” Paper Templates
A great mix of papers is critical to any kit or layout, and themed papers usually take a lead role in that; 3-5 themed papers in a pack of a dozen is enough to make fabulous pages, especially if there's a good mix of contrasts (dark/light, big/small pattern size, simple/complex patterns). This pack of Valentine's Day themed paper templates is designed to help make your kits and layouts pop with color and contrast, and includes simple and complex patterns. All are 12" layered PSDs for ease of use in the vast majority of graphics programs. As always, my templates are CU-friendly, including for CT and freebie purposes, and credit is not required but always appreciated.
Hand-Drawn Paper Patterns #1
I love the look of hand-drawn patterns in a kit--it gives it a bit more organic feel than the perfect vectors that many pattern papers evoke. And while grunging up a vector helps, it still ends up feeling like a worn mass-produced paper. That's great for more formal kits, but not for more hand-drawn ones. This pack of hand-drawn patterns comes as 7 black-and-transparent PNG overlays so that you can recolor, mix, match, stack, and rotate your way to a unique-looking patterned paper. Once you've got a pattern you like, tweak blend modes, add texture and save your unique flattened JPG.
For your convenience, I've also included a PSD with all 7 layers included.
While these are designed for commercial use in designing your own papers for sale, they're fine for personal use as overlays or for making your own papers, too. PLEASE NOTE: The images in the slideshow are patterns I've made by coloring and stacking these PNGs. You will get thumbnails of these patterns in the download, but they are NOT the product, they are examples of what patterns you can get by combining these layers! The actual product is the 7 PNGs. You will have to mix, match, and color them yourself to create patterns.
Word Strip Cluster Templates
I always have trouble using word strips, so I've made a few clusters to help myself get them into my personal layouts more often. These are versatile, though; you could substitute anything long and narrow, like Dymo labels, file folder labels, ribbon pieces, or narrow tags. They're also handy little clusters to add to a very basic patterned-paper journal card for something that really pops. All 10 are in layered PSD format, sized as shown in the preview. Usage terms: PU/S4O/S4H/CU with credit. May be used for freebies or CT use, provided credit is given.
