It’s like making your own Fancy Fonts! I keep forgetting this is an option.
I want to make the word MAMMA in the shape of a heart. Is there a lesson that can show me how to do that? Thank you!
In this video you used the font Dragonfly Pro Sans. I like it but I can’t find that font. How can I get it?
It is very likely a paid commercial use font.

The 50 States Kits appear to be Simply Kelly Templates. They are not shapes. You must import or change the template into a project.
