That sock monkey is adorable

Thank you for sharing your videos

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!

More, more, more. This is a great video! Thank you.

Thank you for always inspiring me. I never miss your videos!

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.

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.

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! ;)

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.

TFS this fun tut! Love the circle window border. You've made me see that I do need to order a couple of circle die sets, and rectangles.

Ohh thank you Carissa! Beautiful! I find your instructions are very easy to follow! ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for sharing these fun techniques and lovely card ideas. Excellent video!

Great tips and a great "refresher" for some techniques that might've been forgotten about.

Thank you for sharing your techniques. Have a beautiful day!

I am enthralled with your video! So instructive! Thank you!

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!

It took some time before I was able to watch your video but it was worth it. Love the cards you made here. Gives me lots of ideas.

Carissa, thank you for sharing this! Even us "seasoned" crafters can use a refresher/reminder of techniques like this. :)

Yay! Get out those languishing dies and create! Thanks for some terrific inspiration.

Love all these techniques.

Super cards! Thanks for all the ideas!

Thank you Ellen, we all focus on the newest dies, but every once in a while we should go back to basics.

I like that you use what most card crafters have, nothing to rush out and buy. Thanks heaps for sharing

Great tutorial! :)

Great tips! Thank you!!!

Great video! I absolutely love this card!!!

Very inspired.. I love it. Thank you for sharing! :)

Very helpful,thank you for sharing.

Love the circle card and scoring the back side was genious

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!!

Really great ideas - thanks!

I always wanted to know how to use my stackable circles. So glad your showing us how. 😊 Thank you
