I’ve just closed my eyes again. Climbed aboard the dream weaver train. Driver take away my worries of today and leave tomorrow behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those words are from the song “Dream Weaver<\/a><\/strong>” by Gary Wright. It was a hugely popular song in the 1970s. At least for me \ud83d\ude0a I loved that song and all the while I was working on this post it echoed in my head. And you\u2019re welcome for the ear worm \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today I\u2019m going to talk all about weaving in digital layouts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weaving On Layouts<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"Serendipity<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Back in the days when I was still a paper scrapbooker I used to love weaving papers to create an interesting background. Today I still incorporate some weaving in my digital layouts. Whether you\u2019re a traditional or digital scrapbooker, it\u2019s a fun technique. And this is one case where I\u2019ll admit the old way was a bit easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With paper scrapbooking it was often just as simple as weaving strips of paper to form a mat. Picture if you will a weaving loom used to create a basket weave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In digital scrapbooking we can still do this but it\u2019s not quite as easy. Don\u2019t get me wrong\u2026it\u2019s not terribly difficult just not quite as straightforward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best part is with digital scrapbooking we\u2019re not limited to just weaving paper. Today I\u2019m going to show you several different ways you can incorporate weaving into your layouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note<\/strong>: the layout shown above is one I snagged from the Scrapbook.com gallery<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paper Weaving<\/h3>\n\n\n
\n
\"Traditional<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I imagine that you likely have woven with paper at some point in your life. Perhaps it was at summer camp or in school, but wherever it was, you probably enjoyed weaving strips of paper. It\u2019s a simple but engaging pastime that can teach some interesting weaving and design concepts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In digital scrapbooking we can still weave paper or ribbons just as we could with paper\u2026it just takes a little different technique. Today I\u2019m going to be working with ribbon instead of paper because the \u201cstrips\u201d are already cut to size and will save me some time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I go any further, I do need to remind you that I am using the most current version of Photoshop Elements (PSE 2024). Some of my screen shots may look different than your screen if you use an older version of PSE. And if you are using a version of PSE older than PSE 9, you may not be able to follow along with all of the steps below. And if you\u2019re not using PSE at all then I\u2019d encourage you to search for paper weaving tutorials related to whichever graphics editing package you do use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warning:<\/strong> There are a lot of steps to follow so the rest of this gets pretty long. If you aren\u2019t at a point where you have a lot of time, just give it a quick read. You can always come back to this post at a later time when you\u2019re able to give it a thorough read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I highly recommend that you don\u2019t attempt to do the type of paper or ribbon weaving I\u2019m about to describe directly on your layout. It is much better to create the woven element in a file all its own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given that, I\u2019m starting with a 12×12 file that has a background paper. Having a solid color background rather than transparent (or even white) typically makes it easier to see what I\u2019m doing. You can make your background using a paper or any color that suits your needs best. I also have several ribbons arranged over the background horizontally & vertically:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Weaving<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> The background paper & lace is from \u201cSnow Kissed\u201d by Alexis Design Studio (no longer available). The solid blue ribbon is from \u201cIt\u2019s Elementary My Dear<\/a><\/strong>\u201d by Janet Kemp (AKA Janet Scott). The remaining ribbons are ones I had previously made using templates from \u201cMedium RibbonTemplates<\/a><\/strong>\u201d & \u201cMedium Ribbons Templates #2<\/a><\/strong>\u201d both by Marisa Lerin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re trying to follow along, you can click here<\/a><\/strong> for a free template that will make it easier to work along as you read. And you can use papers instead of ribbon if you\u2019d like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you likely know, I have a Type-A personality so I can sometimes get a bit carried away with organization. I have my layers arranged top to bottom for the horizontal ribbon layers (colored green) and left to right for all of the vertical ribbon layers next (colored orange):<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Ribbons<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Making Selections<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m going to select the top horizontal ribbon by using Ctrl and clicking on the thumbnail for that layer:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Horizontal<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> That selection method is what I referred to as the \u201cLayer Selection Tool\u201d in my post several weeks back about Making The Right Selection<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should be able to see the \u201cmarching ants\u201d around that ribbon. Now I\u2019m going to teach you a new keyboard short cut that I\u2019m going to use so I can select every other one of the remaining horizontal ribbons \u2013 Shift+Ctrl Click.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the top ribbon still active and with its marching ants I then just Shift+Ctrl Click on the thumbnail for the 3rd horizontal ribbon layer:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Horizontal<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Now you should be able to see the marching ants around the 1st & 3rd ribbons. I\u2019ll continue making selections using this method until the 5th & 7th ribbons are also selected. I take my time and look very carefully so I\u2019m sure to select every other ribbon. If I miss one, I\u2019ll just have to go back and start over. Having the layers organized in order (top->bottom & left->right) really helps!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Every<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

You should now be able to see that every other horizontal ribbon has marching ants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saving Selections<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now I\u2019m going to save the selection by going to the top tool bar and clicking on Select->Save Selection:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Save<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This will bring up the Save Selection dialog box:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Save<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I\u2019m going to name this selection \u201cHorizontal1Selection\u201d, ensure New Selection is checked & click OK to commit the save.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then I\u2019m going to deselect the current selection using Select->Deselect (ESC or Ctrl+D).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, I\u2019m guessing you may have already figured out that based on my name for this first selection I\u2019m going to end up with 4 selections; 2 horizontal ones & 2 vertical ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I\u2019ll just repeat the select\/save process until I have all four selections saved: Horizontal1Selection, Horizontal2Selection, & Vertical1Selection & Vertical2Selection. You can name your selections whatever way will be easy for you to remember.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be aware that if you make any mistakes in selecting your ribbons in the correct order or in saving (naming) your selections properly, it\u2019s going to mess things up in the weaving process. So please pay particular attention to all the steps so you can avoid having to redo things before you can start the next step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> Once you save all of the selections you can no longer go back and make any changes to the ribbons\/papers or their placement. If you do\u2026you\u2019ll need to re-create the saved selections using the altered ribbons\/paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weaving – Part 1<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Suggestion for you here: don\u2019t attempt this if you\u2019re tired, distracted or short on time. This weaving process takes a lot of thought, concentration & patience. If you\u2019re still game \u2013 read on\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Zoomed<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I\u2019ll start the weaving process with the top horizontal ribbon. I\u2019ve zoomed in a bit to try and make it easier for you to see things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I want this first horizontal ribbon to be over the first (leftmost) vertical ribbon, under the second vertical ribbon, over the third vertical ribbon & so on. This tells me that I need to use the saved selection named Vertical2Selection that I saved earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the first (top) horizontal ribbon layer active I load the Vertical2Selection because I want to \u201ccut out\u201d the part of this 1st horizontal ribbon that currently goes over the 2nd vertical ribbon (I hope that\u2019s not too confusing). Remember, I said I want this first horizontal ribbon to go UNDER the second vertical ribbon and every other vertical ribbon thereafter.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Load<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This will bring up the Load Selection Dialog box:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Load<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

PSE (at least in my version) shows the name associated with the active layer, in this case the name of that top horizontal ribbon. All I have to do is click the down arrow next to that name, select the Vertical2Selection and click OK.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Load<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

PSE now brings back that saved selection:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Vertical<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

You can see the marching ants around three of the vertical ribbons. Don\u2019t panic. This is all going to work out just fine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m going to invert (trust me) the selection using Select->Inverse or Shift+Ctrl+I. Ensuring that the top horizontal layer is still active, I then click the \u201cAdd layer mask\u201d tool in the Layers panel and voila\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Top<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

That top horizontal ribbon is now woven just that quickly. And here\u2019s what the layer mask looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Top<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Depending on what version of PSE you\u2019re using there is a little bonus that will save a bit of time. Let’s take another look at that Load selection dialog box:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Load<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

See the little box with the word Invert next to it? Yes, all I have to do is check that box when I load my selection the next time & it will automatically be inverted. Since I\u2019m not sure when that option was included, I wanted you to know how to do the invert if that little box is not there in your version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I then just repeat this process for the 3rd, 5th & 7th horizontal ribbons until I have masked every other horizontal ribbon. And here\u2019s what the layer masks look like in the Layers panel:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Every<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This is a good time to go through and ensure that I properly selected EVERY OTHER layer. Again, if the structure isn\u2019t solid\u2026this can be very tedious. I know that creating that basic structure seems complicated but, in the end, it\u2019s worth it because this is how things turned out:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Every<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Every other horizontal ribbon has been woven over the vertical ribbons!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The key to completing this load\/mask process is ensuring that you are working on every other horizontal ribbon. If you don\u2019t have your ribbons layered sequentially, keeping things straight will make this a bit harder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this point I\u2019m fairly certain you can see where this is headed\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Weaving – Part 2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Now that the horizontal ribbons 1, 3, 5 & 7 are woven, all I have to do is repeat the steps above using the horizontal ribbons 2, 4 & 6 and loading the saved selection named \u201cVertical1Selection\u201d. Here\u2019s what the layer masks look like now in the Layers panel:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"All<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Again, this is a good time to go through and ensure that ALL of the horizontal ribbons have been masked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I know the steps above may have been confusing. The setup is the hardest part. By taking the time to create a solid basic structure & naming all of the saved selections in a methodical way made the actual weaving process easier. Just take a look at how nicely the horizontal ribbons have been woven over and under the vertical ribbons:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"All<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Good news\u2026I don\u2019t have to do any masking on the vertical ribbons\u2026YEA! The weaving process is complete. Now for adding some final touches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finishing Touches<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s time to add some drop shadows. This too can get a little tricky, especially if I didn\u2019t have a good basic structure. I\u2019m going to be using those same saved selections to add the shadows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horizontal Ribbon Shadows #1<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m going to start by adding a blank new layer at the very top of the Layers panel. I name this blank layer Shadows 1. With that layer active I now load the saved selection named \u201cHorizontal1Selection\u201d. I don\u2019t need to invert the selection this time. Horizontal ribbons 1, 3, 5 & 7 are now selected:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Every<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The goal here is to put a drop shadow on only the parts of the ribbons going OVER the vertical ribbons. So with that new blank layer active I now also have to load the saved selection named \u201cVertical1Selection\u201d. This time when I load this second selection I need to do something different:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Load<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I don\u2019t need to invert the selection this time either. But I do need to check the box that says \u201cIntersect with Selection\u201d. I have to do this because I\u2019m \u201cstacking\u201d selections together so I get only the parts of the ribbon I want to shadow at this point. I click OK and this is what the intersecting selections look like:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Intersecting<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

You should be able to see that only the parts of ribbons 1, 3, 5 & 7 that are going OVER the vertical ribbons are included in the selection. This is exactly what I wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because I used lace in two places you can see that the selection over that lace is full of lines around all the fine detail. This is going to cause a problem with shadowing. But I can fix this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All I have to do is use the Selection Brush tool:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Selection<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Ensuring the Add option is selected:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Selection<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I know this sounds confusing since what I\u2019m really trying to do is \u201cremove\u201d some of the selection. This certainly sounds counter-intuitive that I\u2019m going to \u201cadd\u201d to the selection. But that is precisely what I will be doing. You have to remember that only the parts with the marching ants around it will be included in the selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I want the entire center of that lacy piece to be selected, then it must be added to the selection. Therefore, I\u2019m selecting the Add option. I can then just brush over all the fine details of each lacy part (8 in this case) so that the lace is only outlined like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Selection<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If I found any parts of the lace that I didn\u2019t want to be included in the selection I switched to the Subtract option. I didn\u2019t get overly precise with it but I did make sure that there were no \u201cmajor\u201d holes left inside the selection. Each hole in the wrong place will end up with a shadow. Here is the final selection:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Intersecting<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

If you have good mastery over your \u201cbrushing skills this can go quicker than you think!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next I\u2019m going to set my foreground color chip to black (press D). You can use any color that you like it\u2019s just a good idea to use one that is in sharp contrast to any of the other colors\u2026it just makes this next step easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ensuring that the Shadows 1 layer is still active, I want to fill that selection with my foreground color. I could use the paint bucket tool but Alt+Backspace just makes it quicker:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Intersecting<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I now have these black selections going over top of the vertical ribbons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It took a little bit of time to do this but I know in the end it will be worth it. And I can now deselect the selection (Esc or Ctrl+D) and start the shadowing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this method of shadowing I can\u2019t grab one of my usual shadow styles. It just won\u2019t turn out properly. Instead I\u2019m going to do things manually so the shadows look more realistic and consistent with something woven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m going to start by adding a stroke to all of these selections. I select Layer->Layer Style->Style Settings from the top tool bar:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Selection<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

PSE opens the Style Settings dialog box:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Style<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The color chip defaulted to black which is what I wanted (it should match the original fill for the selection). I\u2019m using a Lighting Angle of 120 degrees, a Size of 10 pixels, Position to Outside, and the opacity is set to 100%. I click OK and this is the result:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Intersecting<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> If you\u2019re weaving paper instead of ribbon, you\u2019ll want your shadow to be \u201cthinner\u201d than what I\u2019m using for ribbon. I\u2019d recommend setting your stroke size to 5 pixels. You can play around with this setting until you\u2019re happy with how \u201cthin\u201d that shadow will be for your paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You should use whatever lighting angle you need to so these shadows are in keeping with the rest of your layout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, I select Styles at the bottom of the Layers panel which opens the last set of styles I used. Those aren\u2019t the ones I want so I click the down arrow next to the style name at the top of the Styles panel:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Change<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This then brings up all of my loaded styles. I scroll down until I see Visibility (near the bottom of the list) and I click on that style name:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Layers<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

PSE opens the Visibility style options and I select Hide:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Visibility<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

After selecting the Hide style, I go back to the Layers panel because I need to double-check the lighting angle for this style. PSE preset styles such as Visibility tend to default to a lighting angle of 90 degrees. I\u2019m using 120 degrees so I\u2019ll need to adjust the lighting angle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To do this, I double-click the style icon on the Shadows 1 layer:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Layer<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This will open up the Style Settings dialog box and I can ensure that the lighting angle is set to 120 degrees. I click OK and here\u2019s the result:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Intersecting<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

As you can see, the only thing remaining is the black stroke. That\u2019s what I wanted to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before I go further, I\u2019m going to duplicate the Shadows 1 layer (Ctrl+J) so I can save this set of styles for use later. I name this duplicate layer to Saved Styles 1 so I remember this is the set of stroke & hide styles. I then hide the Saved Styles 1 layer.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Shadows<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Next, I\u2019m going to click on the thumbnail for the Shadows 1 layer to activate that layer again. I then right click on the layer & select Simplify Layer:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Shadows<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Next, I select Filter->Blur->Gaussian from the top tool bar:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Filter-<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

PSE opens the Gaussian Blur dialog box:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Gaussian<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

You can see that my Radius setting right now is 15.0 pixels. I\u2019m going to zoom in a bit more so you can hopefully see the shadow better:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Gaussian<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This is way too much shadow for what I\u2019m trying to do. So, I\u2019m just going to play with the blur using the slider until I hit a setting that looks like a natural shadow \u201caround the ribbon underneath this layer. I ended up with a radius set to 12.5 and then changed the Opacity in the Layers panel to 35%:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Gaussian<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I\u2019m fairly happy with things at this point. You can play with the blur and opacity settings to see what looks best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> If you\u2019re weaving paper instead of ribbon, you\u2019ll want your blur to be \u201ccrisper\u201d than what I\u2019m using for ribbon. I\u2019d recommend setting your blur size to 5 pixels and your opacity for the shadow layer set to 30%. You can play around with this setting until you\u2019re happy with how \u201chard\u201d that shadow will be for your paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I don\u2019t want to scare you but I\u2019m going to repeat these shadowing steps 3 more times (minus the part about duplicating the layer to save the style settings \u2013 I already saved them). Yes, weaving paper\/ribbons is not for the faint of heart. But it should go a bit quicker now that I\u2019ve done it once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horizontal Ribbon Shadows #2<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m going to create a new layer above the Shadow 1 layer & repeat the above steps only this time I\u2019ll rename the new layer Shadows 2. Then I\u2019m going to load the saved selection named \u201cHorizontal2Selection\u201d & intersect it with the saved selection named \u201cVertical2Selection\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Intersecting<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Hooray\u2026no lacy parts to deal with this time. So, just as before I can press Alt+Backspace to fill the selection, deselect (Esc or Ctrl+D) & then copy the style settings from that Saved Styles 1 layer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With that done I simplify the Shadows 2 layer. I can then repeat the Gaussian Blur step. Which will also be easy since PSE remembers my last set of blur settings:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Gaussian<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

You can also use (Ctrl+F). So, it\u2019ll be a one click blur this time. If you get to this point and you want to be absolutely certain the settings are the same as what you used before all you have to do is repeat the same steps from above regarding the blur.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> If you had to close your file for any reason before working on the second set of horizontal ribbons, PSE will not remember the last blur settings so you will have to re-enter them again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And once again I set the opacity to 35%. Now all of the horizontal ribbons have shadows on the parts that go OVER the vertical ribbons:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"All<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Halfway there. Now to shadow the Vertical ribbons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vertical Ribbon Shadows #1<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ll once more create a new layer, this time above the Shadows 2 layer & repeat the above process only this time I\u2019ll rename the new layer Shadows 3. Then I\u2019m going to load the saved selection named \u201cVertical1Selection\u201d & intersect it with the saved selection named \u201cHorizontal2Selection\u201d:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Intersecting<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Once again, you can see that the selection over the lace is not completely solid. Thankfully only 6 places this time. I\u2019ll fix that now just like I did for the first set of horizontal ribbons:<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Intersecting<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

It went a little quicker this time since I knew exactly what to watch for when brushing. Now I can proceed with the remaining steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
