So, I fell in love with Affinity after about an hour of playing with it. I bought it and started bringing my favorite assets over from Photoshop and Illustrator, including some styles I have been using for years on my web projects. I thought perhaps others could use them too, so here they are with a bonus set of sticker styles.
 
Enjoy if they're of interest to you. 
 
UPDATE: New version 2.0! This time the gradients and strokes are tool editable. No more trips to the Effects Panel. This gives better and easier control of the styles.
 
BONUS: By request, 4 atmosphere styles. Included is the AD file with all styles applied for you to play with. Will likely only open in the latest beta. Sorry.
 
BONUS: Dream Metals styles! Aluminum, Gold, and Copper.

I finally figured out how to blend in patterns correctly, so here is a set of Wood, Leather, Cork, Stone, Crust, and Cookie styles. The patterns make the file size too big for the forum, so here's a link to download it from my site.
 
Sorry for the previously broken link. You can find this and others at https://dscape-llc.com/affinity
 
 

A set of holiday styles I whipped up quickly for a friend. Figured I'd share them out to anyone that may find a use for them.

Added an FAQ section and a much-requested preview image of part of the site.

Feel free to ask questions.
FAQs
Q) When will the site go live?
A) When it's ready. This is a large undertaking that is important to us and we want to get it right. Hopefully in a couple months.
Q) Do I have to register for an account?
A) Nope. You can browse and download to your heart's content without signing up. If you want to add your resources to the system for discovery, you will need an account.
Q) Is there an advantage to registering for an account?
A) Of course! You can mark resources as favorites. This helps others know what resources are popular and will give you the benefit of being notified when your favorite resources are updated.
Q) Please, please let me see what the site will look like!
A) What, the Coming Soon page isn't enough? Fine. Attached to this post is what a resource detail page will look like. Happy now?
Q) What can I do as a resource creator?
A) We're glad you asked! You can provide a promo image and description of your item. You can note which application the resource works with (Designer, Photo, iOS version of either). You can see how many people have viewed, downloaded, and favorited your resource. Sharing links are provided that link back to your resource page with your promo image included for various social media sites. You can choose the license that best fits your need. If you have a resource for sale on your own or an eTailer site, you link it in our system and it will have the same display and benefits as those we host. Finally, you can update your resources as needed and the system will notify users who have favorited your items. See the attached screenshot to see how this all comes together.

The goal of that site is to provide a place of discovery for Affinity resources, like Assets, Styles, Color Palettes, UI kits, etc. We're trying to make it easier for people to find content and share it with others, much like sites do for Adobe products and Sketch. Community sites like that are one of the reasons those products are so successful.
We will also be providing directories for tutorials and videos to be found around the internet. There is a void in the Affinity space for such a site, and since we're users of the Affinity products and want to see them flourish even more, and because we're developers (web and iOS), it made sense for us to merge our interest in the Affinity tools and our decades of web experience.
This is not a small undertaking, and we've just completed the prototype stage. It will be a while before the site is ready for the public. We decided to post about the site and provide ways to communicate about it for two reasons:
1) To gauge interest in such a project to see if our time and effort will be worth our while.
2) To begin communication with resource creators early in the process and get feedback on what we're doing. We want to provide the best system of discovery and sharing for our fellow creators that we can. As such, we need input from a diverse group of them to be sure we don't head down the wrong path along the way.
I hope that's what you were wanting to hear. If not, please don't hesitate to ask me more questions.

You're welcome. It wasn't difficult at all.
1. Create a photoshop document, and add shapes to it. (Must be an actual shape to work properly in my experience.)
2. Assign styles to the various shapes. (You can see from my provided screenshot I used circles)
3. Save .psd file and open it in AD
4. Click on each shape, one at a time, then right-click and select "Create Style"
5. Right-click on the style in the panel and choose Rename. You're done.

You're welcome!
 
I should probably explain that the name isn't an arrogant, self-aggrandizing thing. My company's name is DreamScape Visionery, hence Dream Styles.

Now that I have redone all of my styles to use editable gradients, I decided why not provide just the gradients used as a palette? So here you go. Hope you enjoy it.
