I've got lots of paper to play with and I found a new favorite that I'm calling a Faux Twisted Paper technique. I can use this in card making, scrapbook pages, and even a bookmark if I wanted--so many possibilities!
You guys know that I love finding ways to create with my scraps of Designer Series Paper. Today's video is perfect for those of you who love to do the same!
📌 Are you looking for ideas on using up those scraps? Want to learn more ideas? Share your thoughts and let me know if you'll try this faux twisted paper technique!

Wowk, great technique! Love it, Connie!
Sharon, Thanks so much!
Thank you!! Talk about timing!! I've had a small photo box of 3 x 1/2" stips that I cut remaining paper pads into, to make bows. Well, I decided I reeeally didn't want to make all of those bows anymore! Now, I have a new use for those strips, even though my panel will be a little narrower due to shorter strips than yours are. At least the strips Will be getting used, for a neat look. Thanks again, Connie!
These would make cute tags to go along with the few bows I have made. I love the idea of diecutitting little view-through details, too, taking advantage of the mats in additional ways.😊
Wendy, I am so glad this was useful for you. Thank you for watching.
How clever! I like the idea of using the ladybug wings for leaves!
Mary, Thank you! 😊

Claire, thank you very much.
wow!
Karen, thank you for watching.
I love this video, Connie. I have done the twisted ribbon technique several times, but you gave me some new ideas. I love both cards, but I especially like the first card with the bright colors! Thank you.
Mariann, You are so welcome!
Hi Connie. Happy New Year! Wow, I've been seeing this twisted ribbon technique BUT never in a gatefold. This was so neat. Thanks so much. 😊🇨🇦
Brendaelaine, I am so glad you enjoyed it.
Really love your color combos. How do you decide which colors?
Mellorie, I use a color coach. th-cam.com/video/ivdwfISKBRc/w-d-xo.html
I’m searching for a fun fold graduation cap. Did you show that?
Deb, I haven't.
Hi Connie
Do u have pdf for your older scrap card ideas
Plz advise
Love ideas
Hi Joy, you might do a search on my channel. I recently started the PDF downloads.
There seems to be a discrepancy in measurements from the video and the instructions download. In the video, (1:46), melon mambo is cut at 2.75x 5.5. The black is cut at 2.5 x 5.25. When you trim the faux ribbon paper, it is cut at 2.5 x 5.25, which doesn’t leave any border. The instructions download seems more accurate.
Melon Mambo: 3” x 5 1⁄2”
• BasicBlack:2 3/4”x 5 1/4”
• BasicWhite:2 3/4”x5 1/4”
Eileen, that is entirely possible. I sometimes say the wrong things on the video. That is why I share a download.
Hi Connie, On your instructions paper it states that the melon mombo to be cut 3x5 1/4, but in your video you say 2 3/4 x 5 1/2. Can you tell us which measurement is correct?
Can anyone else tell me which measurement is correct?
I can cut both and see, just wondering if someone knows before I do that.
Kelly, I sometimes misspeak on the video. I would say trust the download. But try on scrap paper just in case.
Are the tweezers from Stampin up?
Cindy, yes, they are from the Embossing Additions Tool Kit item #159971
❤
Thank you for watching.
Unusual. Can’t wait to give it a try. 🩷
I do hope you will.
