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!!
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.
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!
Do you think a cricket machine is the best for Embossing and die cutting, especially die cutting or do you recommend big shot? Which is better when it comes to cost( buying all the dies and other tools needed) , Results(quality), Time(which is easier and quicker).
LOVE this video and the cards. I'm curious, however, the stamp used in the first project is not listed in the details of this video :( What stamp is used? Where can we find it, and is it still available?
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! ;)
You missed an option with the shaped card using method 1... cut another full circle and adhere to the top in white or a different color and the face is now a full circle
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.
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!!
Great video, just discovered your videos so will be subscribing for more inspiration. Need to ask you, how come your die cutting plates are completely unscratched? Are you using a magic mat underneath instead of one cutting plates?
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.
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.
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.
Lots of great ideas in this video but I have a question. The couple times I've tried embossing with my cutting dies using my Sizzix Big Shot the paper and black pad are cut. I'm sure I'm making the sandwich properly but it keeps happening. It's very frustrating to me.
Jocelyn Isenberg do you have it on the right tab? I've never done it but it sounds weird and very frustrating if you have bought the proper black mat. Maybe contact sizzix In case you have a faulty mat?
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!
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
Hi Sylvia - the supply list is shown below the video. If you are still having trouble finding them please email customerservice@ellenhutson.com so that we can assist you. So glad you enjoy the video! Have a fabulous day!
Where can I buy those two sets? I'm thinking of getting a Big Shot but I make things with felt and they usually tend to be very small and sometimes unique, so I'm not sure if I will be able to find dies in the shapes I want... those circles would be great, as would rectangles. But what I really need are teardrop shapes. All from 1/4" to 1", but not much bigger than that. Do they make any that small?
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! :-))
Love your ideas! I have a Big Shot and pads and love it but often get confused with my different “sandwiches”. When you embossed the circles what was the order?
Hi. I just saw your video and noticed the sock monkey wasn't listed in the description. Is it still out? Because I can't find it on Ellen Hutson. Did it get retired? I noticed this demo was a couple years ago. Thanks.
What kind of stamp pad did you stamp the flower stencil with before adding embossing powder? I'm new to embossing & wonder what makes the powder stick to the image so u can heat set it. ... jewell
So much fun, thank you! Wonderful tutorial! I have just ordered a big shot and I am trying to figure out which extra dies and accessories I will need. I have a question, can I use thinlits to cut fabric? Or what type of dies do that? Thanks 🌹
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
Hi, Ellen, thank you so much for sharing with us your wonderful techniques, I have just found your video thru a friend, I couldn't quite catch the name of that blog that you mentioned where there are more techniques....please could you let me know the blog address or link....Thanking you in advance, Sue
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!
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
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!
Nossa adorei todas as dicas. Apesar de não entender inglês suas visualizações são ótimas e devagar possibilitando bem o entendimento. Acabou de ganhar uma inscrita brasileira. Obrigada por compartilhar
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! 😀
Hi ! Very cool video thanks for that :) I have a question, for the gold lines on the pineapple ... which technic and material did you used ? Thank you :)
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!!
Welcome to the world of card making! So thrilled you have joined us - you will have so much fun learning, creating and just playing!
I just love her stuff!!!
Thank you so much for these ideas. I plan to use these ideas to make some birthday cards for my granddaughters : )
You are so welcome! That's wonderful. Have fun!!
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.
I see I am about 4 years behind! However,, slow as I am, I enjoyed your video. Thanks. A big hello from Northern CA
I love this video. I need to make use of my dies in more ways and this has inspired me to get moving.
Great tips, thanks

Hi Ellen. I stumbled onto this video. Stayed and loved these ideas and have become your newest subscriber. Thanks. 😊

very cute card, pretty background
This video is fantastic, I'm going to go and rummage through my dies and see what I can make! Happy Monday! :) xx

More than paper by Luciana Coletti zulliikkjtil yhju
Ha ha! I always feel like that after watching every crafting video. ;)
Great ideas, thanks!
the embossing looks interesting
Very nice
LOVE this video and the cards. I'm curious, however, the stamp used in the first project is not listed in the details of this video :( What stamp is used? Where can we find it, and is it still available?
so awesome thanks
so pretty
What was the name of the pineapple stamps you used?
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! ;)
Lovely. Channel 😊new sub here 😊I’m learning from ur videos thanks for sharing
Look forward to your reply
You missed an option with the shaped card using method 1... cut another full circle and adhere to the top in white or a different color and the face is now a full circle
The main question: how to use these dies without machine??? do I necessarily need to buy this one to? :(
Ginta G you’ll need a die cutting machine in order to use any dies.
Sweety du have
It would have been helpful if you showed the BACK of the circle card so I could better understand how it was attached.
Thank you for your suggestion!
Carissa, thank you for sharing this! Even us "seasoned" crafters can use a refresher/reminder of techniques like this. :)
PS I just ordered and received a Big Shot machine so I can't wait to play!
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.
LOVE YOUR WORK, BUT HARD TO FOLLOW. THANKS!
How did you attach the vellum to the inside of the card please?
With glue! We love the The Original Precision Craft Glue, Bearly Art from ellenhutson.com

denverkat276 yes I agree the basic die sets contribute so much in card making and scrapbooking. I’ve started adding to my collection.
More, more, more. This is a great video! Thank you.

Awesome! Thank you! ❤
Do you use any type of vellum to take the heat when embossing? Is there a special type of vellum?
Pretty! But didn't the design on the vellum negate the blk/wh strip under the vellum?
Thank you for sharing your videos
Glad you like them!
That sock monkey is adorable
Ohh thank you Carissa! Beautiful! I find your instructions are very easy to follow! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you. I love the window idea! @YarnPhilosopher on Instagram
Yay! Get out those languishing dies and create! Thanks for some terrific inspiration.
my only problem is I'm not measuring correctly no matter what I use I can't seem to get it cut right oh well I'll chalk it up to old age lol
Another thing you can do is glue a circle on top of the card you cut with the fold.
Use sizzix for quilting
my compan is do the scrapbooking cut die, please contact me if you want do this business
Thank you so much 😊 I really love 💕 you’re cards, and helpful and useful tips and tricks.
Lots of great ideas in this video but I have a question. The couple times I've tried embossing with my cutting dies using my Sizzix Big Shot the paper and black pad are cut. I'm sure I'm making the sandwich properly but it keeps happening. It's very frustrating to me.
Jocelyn Isenberg do you have it on the right tab? I've never done it but it sounds weird and very frustrating if you have bought the proper black mat. Maybe contact sizzix In case you have a faulty mat?
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!
Great concept but very scattered and hard to follow. Love the idea, though.
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!
Can these die shapes be used WITHOUT a machine?
It needs the pressure from a machine to cut the paper, so we highly recommend one. However, you could try a hard bone folder over the paper and dies.
@@EllenHutsonLLC Thank you! I just don't want to invest in one of those machines so I'm going to try a bone folder.
This is one of the most informative videos I have viewed as a new crafter. Very helpful on how to use your stacked dies.
Thank you for showing these steps. You do an excellent job with you your videos.
I just subscribed, thanks for the wonderful ideas.
Great "new" ideas! This was a great refresher course sprinkled with some new techniques!

Great cards. Did you add shading to the monkey card.?
Will these cut fabric for quilting
Bonjour, si l'on pouvait avoir soit un sous titrage en français, ce serait bien, car je n'y comprends rien!!! merci
I always wanted to know how to use my stackable circles. So glad your showing us how. 😊 Thank you
You're so very welcome! ❤

Thank you for these tips! I am a beginner and totally inspired to make a shaker card 🙂
You are so welcome! Welcome to the card making community!! 💞

I need to invest in the circle dies, I have the circle cuter, it's not fun to use. I love the vellum, super cute!
You did entice me to use shape dies in more versatile ways-thank you
That’s wonderful! 😊
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

Excellent tute! And wonderful cards. I do not use my dies as much as I should, but will try to now! Thank you, Germaine
Very inspired.. I love it. Thank you for sharing! :)
Is your Sizzix run off of a motor? It seems this is going so fast through the machine it doesn't look as if being cranked though like I would at home.
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.

Love your circle card ideas and LOVE your presentation.
Thanks so much!
This helped me so very much. New paper Crafter here. TY so much. HUGS!
I like how you did the flower (and also the monkey). Very nicely done. Thanks for sharing.
Qué bonitas!❤
boooooooooooo
Hi ! Very cool video thanks for that :) I have a question, for the gold lines on the pineapple ... which technic and material did you used ? Thank you :)
Love your cards. Thanks for sharing y our ideas to stretch our use of dies. I really appreciate this.
