What basic shapes do you use often on your layouts?

Circles, stars, hearts, and hexagons probably because I have punches in those shapes.

I use a lot of circles and tags as bases for embellishment clusters (because I have punches that can make these shapes easily), and a lot of banners (because I can cut these easily with my trimmer/scissors) and hearts as embellishments.

I want to do a layout with hexagons...I love the way they look, but for some reason struggle when I try to do this myself.

I use these shapes most often too, but because I have nested dies in these shapes.  I have square and rectangle shaped dies as well, but don't use them as often as these four.

Square, rectangle, circles, frames.

Circles are by far my favourite shape to use. I also use lots of rectangles. I love hexagons and triangles too, but only seem to use them if it's in one of the team challenges, or I buy a template with those shapes on it.


Well well well, how the times have changed! I remember a time when you used to lament the use of circles on sketches!    Now you've joined the circle club! I'll be sure to use plenty of circles on my challenges from now on. 

I'm reaching for stars a lot lately - and of course circles. I went through a phase with scalloped circle doilies and small tags. I just purchased nesting hexagons, circles, and rectangles that I am excited to try soon.

Hearts, tags, tickets (not really a basic shape but I use them a lot), circles, rectangles.

I also tend to stick to mostly rectangles and squares, with hearts and stars in my embellishments. Doilies tend to be my go to for circular shapes, and hexagons are my nemesis

Circles, rectangles, stars, banners, hearts, squares, and frames that I cut down to create an embellishment zone.

I hardly use flowers anymore.

I use tag shapes the most. I like using enamel dots a lot, so I guess circles, too?
