Scallop patterns might be tedious to create from scratch and using templates will not offer as much flexibility as you might need.
This script will create scallops with 4 colours that you pick, in the size you want, the color combinaison you want and even the stroke thickness and color you select.

As a sample, I generated some monochromatic seamless tiles with pastel colors, and one with bright basic colors. Since they are seamless, you can use them to fill any surface, of any dimension.

In paper scrapbooking, we often see some fancy outlines, likely made using a cutting machine. The designs can be simple or intricates and with contrasting backing, it gives a great look.
For a sampler, I am including some summer-themed elements all in layers. You can change the colors of the cutout or the background if you want to match them to your own project.
A nice and even design might be what you are looking for, but maybe you need something messier for some projects, or to accompany some "messy" subjects.
As a sampler, I envisioned children playing with threads and gluing them around the various letters of the alphabet. I guess it would be a good element to use for back-to-school layouts. You get this full alphabet using primary colors.
Have you ever tried to align several photos on a straight line, with each photo evenly spaced? It is a little tedious. Now, imagine that you have multiple rows to create. That definitely adds to the work.
For a free sample, I created a gallery template that you can use to add 7 photos of your choice. You can change the background color and even the canvas size if you want to add some text at the bottom. Embellish as you wish, or leave it minimalist. It is your choice.
Working with vector nodes can be tedious and even annoying. In order to create symmetric shapes for new frames, labels and paths, it is very time-consuming.
For a sample, I created some shapes and picked one I liked. I used the VectorTube script to apply a Natural rope tube along the way. Then, I added some seashells and greeneries I had. The whole frame is about 1800 pixels wide and in PNG format. It has some drop shadows already.
Creating new paper designs can often be a tedious task. You can either hand draw them, or use a template. Either one has its drawbacks.
For a sampler, I simply share the PNG version of three tiles created with the script. You can use them with any background, change the color, adjust the scale or the angle. Once merged with a background paper, you can add some grungy edges or textures.
Datestamps come in many shapes and colors, and although they are traditionally meant to identify a country you travelled to, you can definitely be creative and use them to add other details to your projects whether it is a date, a location, or a name.
As a sampler, I created some datestamps with the various months. No year or date is included so it would be easier for you to customize them, and use them for any year.
Do you sometimes wish you had a carpet background for a renovation or a decoration-themed project?
As a sampler, I created a series of simple digits using a gradient for the color. The textures are randomly picked by the script. Each digit is about 750 pixels high.
Buttons are often used in projects, whether it is to "fasten" elements, add to clusters or simply decorate a page, we always look for something new. This script will allow you to create up to 20 buttons in one run, and you can choose any color palette, so it will match your project.
As a freebie, I ran the script with a 6-color palette and generated 20 different buttons. Then, I thought of kids using a bunch of buttons to make frames, whether it is for an end-of-school project, Mother's Day, or just for fun, so I created such a frame with those 20 buttons (and a few duplicates). You get the frame and all the buttons so you can create matching decorations with the same buttons
In order to use hedges on your projects, you might have to rely on ready-made ones. Unfortunately, those might not be the length or the shape you need.
As a sampler, I created a lattice frame and added some of the "individual" picture tubes (since you would not see it if it were a full-height hedge! The full frame is a bit more than 1200 pixels per side. Use it to frame a photo or a quote or even some journaling.
