I like to soften the look of my layouts with various curves and rounded edges.  I love that Fiskars has a variety of tools that allow me to do that.  The Shape Template borders are great for creating scalloped edges.  And cutting circles is a snap with the Super Sized Circle Templates and Squeeze Punches.
