Upallnite Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 This is a long shot - but can someone help me who has purchased actions from Atomic cupcake. This company is no longer in business since 2012 - so I'm reaching out to anyone who can help. I have purchased an action called Floss stitch. There is a brush that goes with it, that I do not have... I don't know if I deleted somewhere along the line but I need it in order for my action to work. Its called GOOFY DOT BRUSH.ABR. Its unique and only made from Atomic Cupcake. IF anyone (and I am begging!!!!) has it, can you help me out? I think this is why this particular action does not work. Also, the other action I am having trouble with is the hand stitch. If anyone has any of these actions, can we share stories. I can send pics. They are not working properly. I need DESPERATE help.

Pab Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I had bought some actions from them years ago. Let me look, but that one doesn't sound familiar to me though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatlady Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 Did you try to just do a search for that brush set in google? I have often searched for fonts and brushes and found all sorts of treasures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-M Posted April 28, 2016 Share Posted April 28, 2016 I am not presently at home to access my computer. I do not remember the "floss Stitch" action you mention but that does not mean I do not have it because when Atomic Cupcake were closing down I bought a lot of actions that I had not previously purchased. What software are you using? I use CS6 and discovered just recently that a few of the actions do not work with it like they did when I had CS3. The Shiny Brad one works fine if I remember correctly.

I thought the same thing, that there are gazillions out there, but this particular brush was made by AC and cannot be found anywhere. So, I wanted to reach out to someone who might have purchased it and could help me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, Thank you for looking when you get home. I am using PSE10. I had previously used it before on a project (a long time ago) and I am wondering if I just deleted it somehow, somewhere. I know at one point in time I had switched over everything to a new (er) computer - maybe that's how I lost it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-M Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I did have a look and a little play as I do have the action Atomic Cupcake Floss Stitch and it needed the brush "Atomic Cupcake Floss Dot Brush" to be loaded in the software. So maybe you need to look through your brushes and if not there, where you keep them backed up or copied. If you have no success that way. You could create your own brush as it is just a dot which may work. You would create a dot with a round round black circle and then save as a brush and name it exactly as I will now share: AtomicCupcakeFlossDotBrush Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went back and looked into my files. I do have that brush (flossdotbrush.abr) However - in my PSE instructions she gave me it stated to "3. Click "Load" and choose the "AtomicCupcakeGoofyDotBrush.abr" file. (You can store this file with your other scrapbooking/design resources.) Then click "Done". This is the complete instructions - Atomic Cupcake Floss Stitch Action To install the action, see the newest instructions at: http://www.atomiccupcake.com/catalogtutorial.php Loading the Brush ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This action requires the Atomic Cupcake Floss Dot Brush be loaded. You can leave it loaded so you only have to do this once, but you will still have to select the brush (step 4 below) before running the effect each time. 1. Click Edit>>Preset Manager 2. Make sure the Preset Type is set to "Brushes" 3. Click "Load" and choose the "AtomicCupcakeGoofyDotBrush.abr" file. (You can store this file with your other scrapbooking/design resources.) Then click "Done". 4. Choose the brush tool and select the Atomic Cupcake GoofyDotBrush. Using the Action ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Choose the layer you want to cut. The item in the layer should be at least 900 pixels tall and wide. 2. Run the action. The cut version will be created in a new document -- leaving your original item in it's original condition. Sometimes the last and first scallops will overlap oddly, like with real cutting tools - you can fix this by trying again with a slightly smaller or larger version of your original shape. Thanks for checking it out for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A-M Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Those instructions seem a little confusing. The Floss stitch action is a stitch and does not cut anything out. It creates a stitch around your chosen shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
