How to Use Your Celebration Assets
Not sure how to use these free assets? Follow along with this video tutorial, which shows you how to use the assets in Photoshop to create an invitation, or simply to add some interest to photos. You can also keep reading to see these quick tutorials broken down in writing.
Use Free Bokeh Overlays with Blend Modes
We’ll start by adding bokeh effects over your photos with blending modes. To start, you’ll need a photo. You can use one of your own, or find a photo that works really well with bokeh. These soft circles of light look good on any photo, but we really like them on wintery landscapes, wedding season moments, or images of summer nights on the beach. It also looks great on portraits, so we’ll use one as an example.
When you find the right image, open it up in Photoshop. To place the bokeh image on top of your image, go to file, place embedded, then find your freebie file.
Go to blending styles to experiment with what works best for your photos. Every photo and design combination will be different so play around and see what works for you. My favorite blend modes for these bokeh overlays are light, screen, and color dodge.
You can do this effect with either landscape photos or with your portraits. If you do put these effects on top of your portraits, then you may need to do further customization.
In this example, you can see the bokeh effect is covering her face. In order to erase some this, you’ll need to rasterize this smart object. You can do this by selecting the brush tool. Once the tool is selected, click anywhere on the image and you’ll have the option to rasterize.
Be sure your colors are set to default foreground and background colors which means black should be on top of white.
You can choose different brush options depending on the specific needs of the photo. Turn your brush opacity to 75% to get a more natural effect. Then click and drag where you want to get rid of the bokeh design.
Use Free Confetti Overlays on a Greeting Card
The confetti and glitter overlays included in this celebration pack are great fits for any kind of party design, from invitations to menus and party favors. You can download all sorts of invitation and greeting card templates from Shutterstock, or even make your own invitation in Shutterstock Editor. Need some inspiration? Check out these 21 tips to create the best invitation ever.
Once you have your greeting card designed, place this design asset on top of it by going to file, then place embedded. You want to make sure to put this confetti image is on top of your entire design.
Then select the magic wand tool. Put your tolerance at about 20 and make sure contiguous is not selected.
With the magic wand tool selected, click anywhere on the white background of your confetti image. Now that it’s selected, we’re going to rasterize this smart object by selecting the eraser tool and clicking ok. Now you can press delete on your keyboard and the entire white background will be deleted.
Create Festive Text with a Clipping Mask
You can also add some interest to plain text with these design elements. This is a really simple but effect way to catch attention, and it would look great for any kind of big announcement on your social media feed.
First, start by opening up a new document. You can add a colored background by adding a colored rectangle shape. Add your text on top of your background layer. You can then align your text by selecting your text, then clicking “align vertical centers” and “align horizontal centers” in your alignment panel.
Place your design texture on top of your text later by going to file, place embedded. Once you have your texture placed into your file, hold down alt or option on your keyboard while hovering between your texture and text layer in your layers panel. Once you see an arrow with a box to the right, click while still holding down alt or option. Your texture will now be clipped inside your text.
You can select the texture layer and move it around, make it larger or smaller until you reach your desired result.
These are just a few examples of what you can do with these design freebies. Feel free to use these techniques with any other design projects that you dream up. Have fun and get creative with your spirited photos and designs.

In this video tutorial, learn some creative new ways to use RocketStock’s FREE Prism Bokeh Overlays pack in Premiere Pro!
RocketStock recently released a new freebie pack — 35 Free Prism Bokeh Overlay Effects. In this tutorial, we’ll look at all the different creative ways we can use these bokeh overlays in Premiere Pro. (Don’t have Premiere Pro? Don’t worry, you can use any video editor.) All of the bokeh overlays are 4K, filmed in-camera, using real glass prisms for natural results.

Blending Modes
You can use various blending modes to overlay these bokeh effects over your footage. First, add your footage to a sequence, then add one of the bokeh overlays above your footage. Select the bokeh overlay, and then navigate to the Effect Controls for that clip. Under the Opacity section, you will see Blend Mode. You can experiment with different blending modes, but the two most common are Screen and Linear Dodge (Add).
Good Uses for Bokeh Overlays
Traditionally, you will see bokeh overlays associated with luxury products, such as jewelry, high-end cars, or beauty products. (They work really well over product shots with a shallow depth of field.) The bokeh overlays will show up best on footage with a darker background, but you can also use them on daylight exterior footage. This works similar to a lens flare effect.
Other great uses would be overlaying them on motion graphics to add some realism, or over slideshow images for some secondary movement.
Changing the Color
You can easily change the color of the bokeh overlays using the Lumetri Color effect. Apply Lumetri Color, then navigate to the Curves options, and find Hue vs. Hue. Move the Hue vs. Hue curve up and down to offset the hue color for the bokeh overlay.
Create Light Leak Effects
You can blur the bokeh overlays with a Gaussian Blur effect to simulate the look of light leaks on your footage. After you apply Gaussian Blur to a bokeh overlay, set the blurriness to 1,000 and set the blending mode to Linear Dodge (Add). Next, add a Noise effect and set the Amount of Noise to 4%. This will help break up any unwanted color banding.
Simulate a Rack Focus Effect
In order to simulate a rack focus effect, first apply the Camera Blur effect to your footage and to a bokeh overlay above your footage. Reset the Camera Blur values to 0 for both clips. Next, on the bokeh clip, keyframe the Camera Blur from 0 to 40, over a few seconds. Now, on the footage clip, add keyframes at the exact same time-locations as the bokeh overlay. Invert the values on the footage clip, so the Camera Blur starts at 40 and stops at 0. You can then set all of the keyframes to Bezier to smooth them out.
Track Matte Text Effects
You can track matte the bokeh overlays over text for some unique looks. Add a bokeh overlay to your sequence on video track 1. Next, add your text to video track 2 — directly above the bokeh overlay. Apply the effect Track Matte Key to the bokeh overlay clip. In the Effect Controls panel, find the Track Matte Key effect on the bokeh overlay, and set the Matte to Video 2.
Track Matte Footage for Double Exposure Effects
You can also use the Track Matte Key effect to create some cool “double exposure” bokeh looks. Add different footage clips to video track 1 and video track 2 (one directly above the other.) Next, add a bokeh overlay onto video track 3, above the other clips. Apply the Track Matte Key effect to the clip on video track 2. In the Effect Controls panel, find the Track Matte Key effect and set the Matte to Video 3. Finally, change the Composite Using option to Matte Luma.
