It happened again!
The other day I received a beautiful email! It was from Cherie. She wanted to share with me some of the designs she made with a little help from my Photoshop brushes. And I always love to receive emails like that!
So, naturally I checked it and .. wow! These were good! Did not think twice. I kindly asked Cheri if it would be ok if I made a little blog post about her work and, as you can see, she agreed!
So, ladies and gentleman, I proudly present you
Mother’s Day Greeting Cards by Cherie
So, in case you were wondering about these swirls in the background, Cherie made a good use of Swirls Floral brushes set (42+42) Second Edition!
Apart from Photoshop brushes, this set also contains 42 .png files at 300 dpi, 2500×2500 pix – transparent, so you can easily use them in any photo editing software.
This set is compatible with Photoshop 7.0, CS, CS2, CS3, CS4 and CS5.

Anyways, great work Cherrie! Thank you for sharing your designs with us and we are looking out for more, now :))
Love,
Silvia

Hi, this is not Silvia speaking.
I’m Meoki.
Black&White, up-side-down cat holding “Special Offers” board, look here, a little bit up on the right side ->
Silvia decided that she needs some rest (and believe me – she does) and asked me if I could do the post and introduce brand new Photoshop brushes she created for her GBG Platinum Members.
“Sure“, I said. As if I had anything else to do except holding that “Special Offers” board all day long (I go away at night but sssshhh! Don’t tel her.)
“Why did you put me up-side-down, by the way?” I asked her. “It’s a good thing that I am just a cartoon, otherwise all my blood would end up in my head. Not good …“
“Because” she said, “I red somewhere, that people will notice you more easily that way.“
“Peeh!”
Anyways, she be gone (sends “hugs and kisses everyone”), I’m here, so bear with me (you could beer with me as well. If you click on the “Special Offers” board and get yourself some nice discounted brushes, vectors, etc … :))
Anyways, it’s Tuesday, and Silvia wanted to dedicate every Tuesday to her GBG Platinum members, by giving them a little …. well … gift! So, this Tuesday, she prepared
Swirled Squares Design Elements (Photoshop brushes, or Digital stamps as some call it)
Swirled Squares consists of 12 brushes in two sizes (as usual to prevent overstretching and keep the quality top-notch) and two design styles: clean and grungy.

Guys,
Most of you already know how indispensable Photoshop brushes are when it comes to web and graphic design.
Examples of their use are everywhere. In this post I will show you how I used them to modify the original WordPress theme of this site and create something completely different.

Don’t worry, commercial license is included with all brushes so you can use them in your commercial projects.
Background

And here is how I used them to create banners:
So, to create banners I used:
As you can see, Photoshop brushes come really handy when you need to do web graphics.
I’d say, really really handy.
Of course, if you are into web or graphic design, or if you are planning to get into it, or just staring up, I would recommend one all-round, HUGE Photoshop brushes package and yes, that’s 800+ MEGA SET Photoshop Brushes I’m talking about!
These come with Commercial License, in a form of digital download, so you get to use them immediately right after the purchase.

I don’t know about you, but I just love the element of surprise. Especially when it comes to gifts. And since I strongly believe in “do unto others as you would have them do unto you” philosophy – every now and then I prepare a small surprise gifts for all of you who purchased at least one of my PREMIUM Photoshop brushes sets.
As most of you probably already know, while ago I upgraded Tattoo Designs Photoshop brushes set with (1) Tattoo Designs PNG files and (2) New brush sizes. So this set gained new, added value for the same price. EMail with download links was sent to buyers and, well, I don’t have to tell you how pleasantly surprised they were. The response was so positive and overwhelming that, of course, it did not take me long before I made another upgrade.
And this is the day.
Ladies and gentleman, tonight, it is my pleasure to present you with another free upgrade! This time I upgraded Swirls Floral brushes set (42)!
[PREVIEW OF THE SWIRLS FLORAL PHOTOSHOP BRUSHES SET 42+42 - SE]
Now, this new free upgrade brings new dimensions of Swirls Floral Photoshop brushes and I just can’t emphasize enough how good it is to have brushes in two dimensions.
Why, you will ask?
Because, Photoshop brushes are still bitmap images. We all know how bitmap images don’t like to be stretched-out because when they are stretched out – they lose their quality. Well, believe it or not, same can happen when you re-size the Photoshop brush to a smaller dimension. OK, you can always safely decrease the size of Photoshop brush by 25%-30% but if you make it smaller than that – again, it might easily lose it’s quality.
And that’s where this new brush dimension comes in. Instead of decreasing the size of the big brush, you will now just use the smaller version of the same brush. Or should I say, small hi quality version of the same brush. This way you will avoid the risk of losing the quality of the brush by scaling it down.
So, all of you who bought Swirls Floral brushes set should have receive an email with the download link by now. I hope you will enjoy 42 Swirls Floral brushes in smaller size, ideal for web, video or other digital production.
And for those of you who don’t know what does this set looks like – here is the:

Wouldn’t it be cool if we had some kind of magic desktop wallpaper that will trigger the emotion of happiness every time we look at it? Hmmmm …. that’s a thought.
So, while you download this prototype, I thought I’d share some of my thoughts on happiness with you and I hope you’ll find them inspiring.
This post is about our pursuit of happiness.
Even the Declaration of Independence states that everyone has inalienable right to the pursuit of happiness. Only some US states included this right into their Constitutions, but I believe that it should be included in all constitutions of all countries in the world.
Why?
Because, from the moment we wake up and open our eyes in the morning – until we fall asleep in the night, all we do is pursuit of happiness. Of course, we don’t define our actions that way. We have breakfast (or at least some of us lucky enough) and everything else we do for the rest of the day is we try to create environment and the conditions that will help us experience the emotion or feeling of happiness.
Unfortunately, we can not provoke that feeling ourselves. The best we can do ourselves is try to think about the times when we were happy, but for many of us even that could invoke the feeling of sadness instead.
Remembering the good times is just not enough.
What we strive to do is create the conditions and the environment that will trigger the events that will then trigger the feeling of happiness. That’s what we do at all times. But, to be happy, we need the “co-operation” of other people. For instance, when we love someone. We do our best to appeal to that someone so that our love is returned to us. And if we find out that we are loved by that someone then we feel true happiness and that’s the feeling we’re all looking for.
As you can see, we need somebody’s help to reach that emotion.
Or, another example, we feel happy when something we do is recognized and liked or loved by someone else or by many. The recognition of our work will also trigger the emotion of happiness, but again, we need other people to help us reach the emotion of happiness.
Now, here the thought. WE ARE that “other people” for the rest of the world. Aren’t we? Now, just think about it for a second. We are the only ones who can help other people reach that emotion, we are the other people and others depend on us. How about that?
So, in my mind, it is all about giving and receiving. It is a “dual channel” process. Once, when all people become aware of this, this world will be crowded with happy people.
In the meantime, in our pursuit of happiness we can do two things:
- make other people happy (as there is no happiness without giving)
- create environment where other people will also be given a chance to make us happy
Giving and receiving. Can not have one without the other.
The more we give - the more we will receive. And receiving then gives us me more energy to give back again.
Unfortunately, many of us still have problems with the “giving” part. That’s because we tend to believe that we are limited with the resources and the more we give the less we have. I think that is one of the the main reasons for the existence of unhappiness in this world.
So, inspired by these thoughts I thought I’d make this wallpaper on the topic of happiness. I hope you will like it.
I did that one using the following:
- Swirls Floral LITE Photoshop brushes set – FREE
- Grunge floral shapes LITE Photoshop brushes set – FREE
- Photoshop Brushes – Floral Shapes (37) – PREMIUM (There is an extra promo gift that comes with this set!)
- Hearts Photoshop Brushes Set (32) - PREMIUM

Love, give and thau shall receive.

Two weeks ago, I had this idea to create a unique envelope for my sisters-in-law birthday. But, in the meantime, she left for vacation and now she’s enjoying Californian hotels :)
So, I still have a chance to make a unique envelope for her birthday and it will wait for her when she’s back!
So, you guessed, today’s “download and print” freebie is - envelope template.
The original size of this envelope template is 8″x5″ on the 12″x12″ paper size, but you can print it on any size (like I did) just use “fit to paper” option on your Print window. For this envelope design I used Swirled Floral Photoshop Edges Brushes set and Floral Shapes Photoshop Brushes set. Both available in our little shop.
Now, take a look at my short photo story on how to make an envelope. It’s fun and easy so, enjoy!
1. Print the envelope template and cut out the envelope shape. I used fancy-edge scissors just to cover my possible cutting mistakes :)
2. Fold the paper carefully and try to match (as much as you can) the illustrations on the bottom flap and top flap of the envelope. Apply 1/4″ wide double-sided tape along the side edges of the back, starting below the curves.
3. That’s it! This is the Back side of the envelope. The flaps are designed to match one another!
4. And the front side of the envelope with the place where you can write your loved one name :)
Download this envelope template design here, buy Swirled Floral Edges Photoshop Brushes set or buy Floral Shapes Photoshop Brushes set and the most important thing: have fun creating!

Guys,
We’ve been through a whole lot various application examples for Photoshop brushes and vectors.
But, these things just keep popping out. Like this one for instance.
I looked around to see what’s up on Zazzle when it turned out that I can actually design my own shoes.
Now, that’s something! To design my own shoes the ones that I will actually wear!
So, I played a little and here is how they came out:
So, this is one more great sample where vectors come handy. You can do just anything with vectors. No matter what you use, Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW! or any other vector oriented application.
You can resize them, skew them stretch them and they will never lose any quality. In fact, they just might become even better.
So, for these shoes I used Vector Swirls Set (16) but if you are looking for a real vector deal, go for 128 All-in-one Vector pack that is on SALE NOW!
This All-In-One BIG Vector Pack includes 128 vectors from 5 different Vector sets:

Gang,
Today’s topic is – Friends!
Friends and the things we can do to illustrate our friendship. I created Friends Digital Scrapbooking Quick Page for my dear friend Iva and I wanted to share it with you. Of course, such thing can not be done without Photoshop brushes. Because, in scrapbooking, Photoshop Brushes are your best friends :)
So, as I said, this one is dedicated to Iva and to all friends in the world! I photographed Iva back in the old days when I had my own photo studio. (I still have the equipment and the way things are going right now, I just might organize my own photo studio again. But I’ll tell you more about it on some other occasion :))
Here is the recipe, or should I say, here are the ingredients of my latest free Quick Page – Friends 4ever:
- One green background
- Grunge alphabet and numbers with swirls, Photoshop brushes set
- Swirled Floral Edges Photoshop Brushes set (18)
- Hearts Photoshop Brushes Set (32)
- Photoshop Brush – Floral DUO (62)
And here is the Quick Page:
I hope you like it!
This QP is downloadable in .png format, so you can just insert your own photo into the frames.

Gang,
I got so excited when I received that email from Vivayne! And If you check on her web you will know why.
Vivayne is one extraordinary scrapbook artist and she always amazes me with her new creations.
So, when she told me she made a brand new scrapbooking kit with my “Finest Floral Photoshop brushes set” I just knew we’re onto something real good! And boy was I right!
She prepared new digital scrapbooking kit called Island Paradise. Perfect kit for this summer time!
But, then things got even better. Here is what she said:
“I have made a kit called Island Paradise with your floral brushes. I just love how the papers turned out! It’s a full size digital scrapbooking kit :)
This kit will only be free for something like 48 hours. If you would like to blog/post it – It will be released on June 12 (friday) for free and moved for sale on June 14th (sunday) at 11 am US central time…“
So, I think this post comes just in time. If you are quick enough, you can get this digital scapbooking kit for FREE!
As we said, in this kit she also used “Finest Floral Swirls Photoshop brushes set (120)” – which is available in Graphics-Illustrations.Com Shop.
So, in my oppinion this is one great example of perfect Photoshop brushes usage.
As always, thank you Vivayne for sharing your talent with us and I wish you many many new scrapbooking kits in a time to come.
Love you all,
Silvia
P.S.
If you used the opportunity to peek into my shop and found out that you like many of the brushes there (they all come with commercial license), here is your chance to get Photoshop brushes w/commercial license at 1/2 the price.

Gang,
I’ve been thinking about taking the whole Photoshop brushes thing to the next level. Say … animating it.
It could be cool for video scrap booking, or should I say, scrap video. I mean it’s basically the same thing. It’s just that, this time, Photoshop brushes are used in video. So, I played around with After Effects for a while and made this little video. Kind of introduction to the whole new era – VIDEO SCRAPPING!
So, for starters, I made a little video from my brushes and background. This font is actually a brush: Grunge alphabet and numbers with swirls, Photoshop brushes set and a background is from my background set: “2 pack graphics: old grunge paper images 1″.
I hope you liked it. If you’d like to have a video produced from some of the materials that you have at home, drop me an email.
Cheers,
Silvia
P.S.
And if you plan to do a video by yourself you will still need a good resource of High Resolution brushes, yes I am talking about 800+ Photoshop brushes MEGA SET. More than 800 Photoshop brushes is waiting for you to create graphic static or moving miracles.

Gang, Graphic designers and visual artists!
All of you who are willing and ready to take that extra step, thau shall have no fear of recession! Thau shall have no fear of getting fired! And that’s because you will always be able create nice things that market will need and you will never be jobless!
Having that in mind, I prepared a so called recession-proof Vector set package.
Why?
Well, everybody’s talking about recession these days. Not just these days, these months I should say. I don’t think that anyone who is willing to work and who is good at what they do should be afraid. And, as always, I am here ready to help.
In my previous posts, ever since the beginning of this blog, every now and then, I was giving you advices on how to monetize your work. What to do, where to sell … all kinds of ideas. And I don’t plan to stop doing that any time soon. Especially now, when the economy is going through the tough times.
So, no matter if you are beginner in vector graphics or if you are a professional, you are aware of the potential that vector graphics have. You know all about the benefits and advantages of vector graphics. And you know how cool it is to work with vectors. Size is no issue because from vectors you’ll always get crisp sharp bitmaps. And you’re free to derive limitless amount of designs just from one shape.
And how about ten? Or how about one hundred? Or how about 128 vectors, swirls, floral shapes, edges and corners, for which you know that once you open them in Illustrator or CorelDRAW or any other vector editing application, there will be no limits. You can open them in Photoshop or Photoshop elements too because psd and png files are in pack too! No limits to size of the graphics, no limits to variations of the shapes, no limits to application of the designs.
So, what did I do?
I took 5 of my best selling vector packages:
1. Vector Swirls Vector Set (16 vectors)
[ PREVIEW Vector Swirls set (16) ]
2. Vector Floral Shapes Vector Set (30 vectors)
[ PREVIEW Vector Floral Shapes set ]
3. Swirls and Stars Vector Set (35 vectors)
[ PREVIEW Swirls and Stars Vector Set ]
4. Swirled Corners Vector Set (26 vectors)
[ PREVIEW Swirled Corners Vector Set ]
5. Photo Edges Vector Set (21 vectors – swirls and floral)
[ PREVIEW Photo Edges Vector Set ]
Total value of those is $71.95 and I’ve put them all in one package.
I named this package HUGO because it’s HUGE and I did not want to call it HUGE so i called it HUGO. And I reduced the price from $71.95 to $61.95.
But, I did not want to stop there. Because it’s all about recession on TV and I know this package can help you out make some extra $$$. So, I reduced that price further down and it finally landed at no more, no less, but exactly $56.95!
What else can I say? Check the previews of all of them, that’s all I need to say. Just check the previews and let your imagination do the rest.
