1.I really think the drop shadow gives the best effect in most cases, but it is fun to play with embossing and glows in more surreal applications. I am still figuring out what a lot of the blend modes do to different effects.
2. Yes, clipping masks were an easy way to create awesome cut out effects. Will definitely use them going forward.
3. The pen tool is remarkably flexible in creating shapes. It was easier to use than I thought it would be. I did use a path adjustment tool to move one selection point in and it worked well.
4. I used a custom shape that was already in the drop down menu. It was sort of a rounded star. I used the polygon tool to create starry snowflakes. I still need to experiment more with the other shape tools.
5. I will use smart objects when I want to add effects to vector items or when I want to do non destructive editing on an object.
6.I am using command z to backtrack a lot. And using the command button to move items when I'm using other tools.
