I like when cards go both orientations too! I do understand what Brook is saying though, that not all designs work best both directions. But maybe splitting it up so that at least a couple cards went the opposite direction (Usually horizontal). Even if they don't fit both orientations, at least 1-2 options in that 2nd direction would be helpful.
I have "cropped" many to fit a square space also, so I sometimes like ones that don't have a "frame" or fully fit their space. Does that make sense?
Either way, I just love the inclusion of journal cards! They can be used as a title space for a page or to guarantee you have to journal!
