Approved by the

Corner Tut using Selection coordinates and
opportunities for you to exercise your creativity!
Needed PaintShopPro and basic knowledge.

An Example Shown:
1. Open a black (?) canvas 1024x768

Flood
Tool: Fill with a pattern of your choice from the color palette.
Setting: Scale at 100% (to start with) & Angle at zero.
Look at how yours looks. If the pattern you use
doesn’t show completely you may have to change your % and refill over and over until it
fills properly.
I used EngravedGold10 pattern I had.
Use whatever you like out of the choices you have.
My Pattern is Black and white and although it is called gold. LOL , go figure huh?
Now we are going to give our pattern an engraved or beveled appearance.
10. Effects/Texture Effects/Sculpture
Under the selections left click on the arrow head and choose a preset.
If you don’t like it do it again and choose another.
Be creative you creator you! LOL
11. Select a different color by left clicking on
the color box in the Sculpture box.
Play around and come up with something you like!
12. Click ok when you are satisfied.
13. Ctrl + Shift + f (defloats)
14. Effects/3D Effects/Inner Bevel
Settings:
15. Ctrl + d (deselect)
16. Save as JPEG
I usually save at 25% Optimization.

After thoughts:
That is it. Of course you could add other things
like tubes, text, brushes etc. Sometimes it is
better to leave it simple.
Again it is your stationary so make it look good
to you.
Letter Creator Tips!
Load what you’ve made on the Body Page with
the Image Position LEFT & TOP chosen.
Do not select tile!
When you load this in Letter Creator you will
have to set your margins for the text to look
right.
For 800x600 users
Top = 100 Left = 90 Right = 10
For 1200x800 users
Top = 100 Left = 90 Right = 90
Remember to set the font size to an easy to
read size so others will enjoy reading from your
stationary.
If they have to strain to read what is written
because of a bad color selection or too small of
font used that defeats the purpose of making
pleasing stationary now doesn’t it!
Hope you like this way of making stationary.
Pretty easy to do once you understand the
process.
You could turn out a bunch of these in a hurry
since the real time is taken up deciding what to
use and how fancy you want to make it.
Just make them look good so they are worth
looking!
Oh , I may need to mention this if you are new
to this style of stationary.
It is called a Corner stationary because only
the Corner will be visible when you use it. LOL
Thought I needed to say that for you newbees!
Study, Learn, Create and have Fun!
