New Free Autumn DigiScrap Leaves: 2 Sets 2 Ways

Update: 2 New Russet Autumn Leaf Cutout Duos for Scrapping + General Crafting

I adore autumn weather. I have been known to take a not-so-secret delight, even as a grown woman, in walking through piles of fallen leaves, just to hear them rustle about my ankles. The colors of autumn do please me the best. I actually find the best colors to fit my personal coloring in the Fall range, as well.

So here are the newest Leather cutout sets, now larger and in russet red, a favorite color of mine. These are both available in Digi and Print versions, so please read the Download choices below.

Also please notice our red guidelines below, along with any credits in each one of our posts here. Some things are in the Public Domain, while other things do have a few guidelines to follow out of fairness to the suppliers of the images being altered or used. Thanks for stopping by with your

Happy Creativity!

Free Frames: Steampunk or Regular

Free Diamond Encrusted Frames

Which do you prefer here, our Steampunk version, or the Diamond Frame on its own? 

I've said it before, that we here at PPS™ really enjoy pleasing our guests. We've had some of this stuff hanging around the Studio for quite some time, and only just now are getting around to bringing it out for you. Our cache of goodies isn't vast, yet it can be fun to search the Studio's archives for new free gifts for the public.

The base for this is an 18th century miniature portrait frame. We added a few touches here and there, and removed the king's portrait from it. In the upper righthand corner of our Steampunk version, you may see a gauge from Dezinaworld's June (see her button for Dezinaworld 15 to the left of this post--it is a truly fun place to find wonderful image sets). We here have been big fans of June's for years.

The lower left corner has the face of an antique stopwatch (Wikimedia Commons, Public Domain and fixed to fit), while above that we have our own watch face from Plush Possum stock. 

Lower right is another form of face, one familiar to anyone into dirigibles, or airships. Whoever tells me first who he was will win a handshake from yours truly and top honors from this Possum affiliate.
:)

The original antique frame is all hand tooled leather, and exquisitely made, with diamonds everywhere. It already had too much decoration as it was, and so of course, one step further became even more fun. We offer it here 3 ways, one in ATC size and in PNG as well as JPG formats (ATC size in PNG format only--sorry--yet these should print for you just fine).

The center portion is an irregular shape, and far from perfectly symmetrical. Other flaws are in the way in which a few of its diamonds are now no longer as intended. It's semi irregular in shape, obviously, and even a little bit crooked. All the same, it's a fascinating slice of the past, and I love it. 

For those of you with no interest in Steampunk, included here is the frame without any gadgets.

We hope you'll enjoy these frames in either style with your
Happy Creativity!

More Marble in Colorful Frames!

The earlier set of frames comes in two styles, with drop shadow and without. These are all about the drop shadow look, which I found distinctive.
They also come in 2 formats, Digi (no background) and Print. Hands-On artists will find our "JPG Print Version" links of use, while our Digital style artists may want to go for the "Digi PNG Version" links. 
Today's post features our drop shadow variety only, and in color ways not featured with this pattern before.
Made from an antique book's leather cover plus a second antique book's marble front cover, we've combined the two and then played with color, shadow, and so on.
There are 6 colors being offered in both the Digi and the print formats.
Hope you have fun working with our various colorways! And you know what I'll be trying next--the purple. ;)

Leather Cutouts & Frames

These leather cutouts remind me very much of the crafts projects we kids used to run across when still in grade school. When I wasn't on the playground, or running through a sprinkler, I generally had a mind to get crafty, and I'll bet most of you felt the same way. 
Our sets today include both Digi and Hands-On varieties to choose from. In them, I think you may find there's more to play with than usual. This leather just begged to be played around with, and using the "cookie cutter" features in PSE8 became the fun way to go. 
I love doodads, don't you? ;)
Lots of 'em here, along with a few frames, a background or two, and so on.
Digi artists, please make certain you click on the link marked "Digi PNG", and Hands-On artists may want to look for the label, "JPG Print."
Hope you'll enjoy playing around with our autumn cutouts, frames, &c, right on into our upcoming season.
Happy Creativity!

Good morning! What a fine summer morning it is here, too! Hope it's a lovely day wherever you happen to be as well.
This time, we offer a new set of frames from our PPS Originals lineup for use free online or elsewhere. 
You may print, alter, etc., any one or all of these frames. What we ask is that you never repackage them for sale. In the spirit of fairness, we ask that you also remember always to please give credit where it is due whenever using any of our original clipart or ephemera items. You might want to consider encouraging others to find us here online at PPS as well- we love our new visitors! And Thank You for taking these few easy steps to ensure fairness in our blogosphere.
Below, you'll see we've thought of both our Digi and Hands-On style artists, making it possible to use every choice two ways. If you're into using digital means for your artwork, make sure to click on the "Digi PNG" heading's link for items without any backgrounds for you to get rid of. And, if you like the Hands-on approach best, be sure to click on the "JPG Print Version" heading's link for your printable choice(s).
We offer this one in 2 styles (2D and 3D Looks) and 4 colorways, with other colorways planned for a future post or posts.
Hope you enjoy our new way to frame out your artwork, and, as usual, we wish you---
Happy Creativity!

TODAY'S FREE IMAGERY: Parts of an antique book

This is a 115 year old copy of The Complete Works of Shakespeare. I include for your enjoyment its spine, which has a lovely tattered appeal for me. Its leather covers were falling off as I picked it up. I hope someday to include a few pages from it here. The whole thing is bound rather like a dictionary, with indents for your thumb, and labeled, gold on black inside each tiny indent. This won't show up on a scanner, unfortunately, but we have some fun stuff to play with here anyhow.

Welcome to Our Plush Possum Studio Home!

I'm Rose McGuinn, and this is our first upload for you the reader. In future, I hope to be uploading graphics to be used freely by anyone wishing to work with the digital imagery our studio finds to post. I'll be interested to hear your ideas and comments as we grow together creatively. FREE ephemera and lots of ideas for us to share are what it's all about!

Lots more ephemera will hopefully be offered by yours truly upcoming, but for now, here's a little something for you courtesy of the Plush Possum .

I found the piece of a leather book cover from the late 1880's at a curiosity shop for book lovers. It was almost ready to fall apart, but I couldn't resist its color and shape. This is only the beginning here, where we hope to continue providing fresh approaches to uses of all the ephemera you collect here.

The view of the second of the two freebies featured in today's post was actually never meant to be seen. It was merely used as a liner for the leather, which had padding underneath, followed by book board (a kind of tougher bookmaking cardboard). Like finding a double surprise! The rest of the book is falling apart as well. I hope to feature at least two of the pages from it here at one point.
Hope you'll find more than one reason to enjoy today's pairing!
And Happy Creativity form our home studio to yours!
