I have really been into working with die cuts lately. Thank you for a good basic instructional video. I plan to use some of these techniques in my craft room.
This is the first time that I watch one of your videos. I'm so glad I did. You have a new fan!! I am going to use almost all the ideas. I am so thankful.
What super great lesson you gave. Firstly you speak clearly. Plus you explain the why's of things you are doing. You have just shown how easy it is to use simple dies for card making. Thank you for Teaching this to us.
OMGosh! Brain overload. I’m new to card making and I want to try every technique you did. The shape card! Oh my, that may have to be the first!! Wait, maybe the window. Oh dear! Thank YOU for the inspiration to just dive in!! Watching from the US!!
I totally agree that the basic nesting sets of dies are a MUST have for scrapping and card making. It's amazing that crafters give up on their basic shape dies. Those should be a staple in everyone's arsenal!! Please share more of your ideas. Although I think that I can come up with great ideas you think totally outside of the box!! I never saw the full circle card technique or the Shaped card Technique, before. I will definitely use that. I loved all of your techniques.THANKS!!
This video was so very helpful to a newbie like me. I love all the techniques and have enough supplies to make them. I don’t have the beautiful stamps that you used as this video is almost 3yrs old. Tyfs. Hugz!
WOW! I better get out my circle dies, I don't use them enough. I absolutely love how you created so many shapes techniques. This is so inspiring! Thank you and big thumbs up! ;)
Thank you for such a thoughtful video - we often overlook those 'basic' supplies however with a bit a of creativity we can get so much more out of them! Great ideas ( especially the frame) - thank you!
I was admiring your pretty unmarked embossing plate. Ooo la la! I love the stamps and dies you used. My neighbor was trying to dry emboss yesterday and needed my help. I have the "sandwich recipe" to do this on the big shot and was able to help. These are fun techniques and I forget to use them. The last circle card I made that was like the second circle card idea you used. I made an Oreo cookie card and it turned out so cute. I love my Cricut die cutting machine but it doesn't give me the nice edges that the dies do. Thanks for the video!
Finally a new idea 💡!! Great video. I am not creative but I am great at copying. Occasions to use these methods are already rushing through the brain. Thank you for sharing your creativity with us.
Great tip for making circle cards! Your cards are adorable, and I love the flower peeking through the circle on vellum. I definitely want to do the circle card and the lovely flower one peeking through the circle. Thanks so much for the great tip and the card ideas.

New subscriber, and have just got the Sizzix Big One Plus for my Birthday, which included the square nesting set, so thanks for sharing this video, new to die cutting. Also I do need to be shown the basics on different methods making cards, then i start getting all kinds of ideas. Best wishes from England. xxx
WOWEE! What a COOL video, Carissa!! I LOVE the wonderful variety in cards using those basic shape dies! CLEVER DESIGNS n’ ideas AND LOVELY cards! I learned some “neat tricks”, too, especially with the “;shape card” creation! I, too, sometimes have “snafus” when cutting a strip to match a “circle” shape so your tip to cut the DSP from the same-sized shape and THEN placing the strip is SO HELPFUL! :-)). I’m pulling out my dies today and going to “play” using some of YOUR CREATIVE ideas! TFS n’ HAPPY STAMPIN’ n’ CREATIN’! Looking forward to the Ellen Hutson releases! Enjoy your day! I know I will have fun “playing”, too! :-))
Carissa thanks for all the sneaky peeks, and a look at how creative you are ... I'll never look at a simple circle die quite the same ... pssst - love the debossed technique!=] Michele
When I cut any card shape, I use the first method, that you used with the circle card. And then I cut another full shape out, and stick it over the top...then you can’t see the missing part! 😀
Good evening Carissa ! Thank you for sharing these lovely techniques with us. I love the new stamps & dies. Shaped cards are really a nice & different look. Thanks for reminding us to keep on using them. I enjoy getting items from Ellen. They have great & quick service. Items are always packed nice & they have great customer service! I just learned that Ellen Essentials come in her awesome clear storage envelopes. That is another plus!
Fantastic video. I'm going to go back through all my dies and get those basic's out and make some great cards, Thank YOU...oh and your laugh is contagious! :) lol
Thank you Ellen, we all focus on the newest dies, but every once in a while we should go back to basics.
I have really been into working with die cuts lately. Thank you for a good basic instructional video. I plan to use some of these techniques in my craft room.
Thank you for sharing your videos
Glad you like them!
I like that you use what most card crafters have, nothing to rush out and buy. Thanks heaps for sharing
Yay! Get out those languishing dies and create! Thanks for some terrific inspiration.
I used your circle shape tip and made a circle card. I really appreciate your tutorial. I never would have thought to do this. Thank you!
Ohh thank you Carissa! Beautiful! I find your instructions are very easy to follow! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
