What's My New Favorite Thing In Card Making? Faux Twisted Paper Technique

#cardmakingideas #stampinup #simplysimplestamping
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!

Jennifer, You are so welcome!

[@mariannjack5839]

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.

[@simplysimplestamping]

Mariann, You are so welcome!

[@joyboyle1228]

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.

[@lindaleonhardt7617]

Hi Connie! Happy New Year! I love this new technique! Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@simplysimplestamping]

Linda, You are so welcome!

[@elizabethstewart1701]

[@simplysimplestamping]

[@melissaburnett4479]

Connie these are really cute. Thanks!! Have a blessed day.

[@simplysimplestamping]

Melissa, Thank you! You too!

[@kellyhenderson1026]

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?

[@kellyhenderson1026]

Can anyone else tell me which measurement is correct? I can cut both and see, just wondering if someone knows before I do that.

[@simplysimplestamping]

Kelly, I sometimes misspeak on the video. I would say trust the download. But try on scrap paper just in case.

[@kltpiano1]

Connie, you always explain so well. I have been wanting to try this technique and your tutorial is the best one I have seen. Many thanks! Cannot wait to make these cards😀

[@simplysimplestamping]

Kathy, You are so welcome!

[@joycecaracciolo2327]

i LOVE THIS NEW STRIP PAPER CARD IDEA. NEW ANGLE I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO TRYING

[@simplysimplestamping]

Joyce, I am so glad.

[@donnabigley6435]

Thank you lovely card!

[@simplysimplestamping]

Donna, Glad you like it!

[@pollylibby5161]

Watching the replay

[@simplysimplestamping]

Polly, thank you for taking the time to watch.

[@eileenkawalek3498]

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”

[@simplysimplestamping]

Eileen, that is entirely possible. I sometimes say the wrong things on the video. That is why I share a download.

[@0224je]

Love the technique

[@simplysimplestamping]

Thank you!

[@virginiamahon2863]

These are great! Can't wait to try them. Thanks for sharing.

[@simplysimplestamping]

Virginia, Hope you enjoy!

[@faithsaito9833]

Connie just love, love, both cards!! Also, smart how you show us to save using strips for flowers etc. Sooooooooooo "akamai" (smart/Hawaiian) watching you from O'ahu, HI TFS!!! love your YT channel

[@simplysimplestamping]

Faith, thank you so much for taking the time to watch.

[@wendywilson1736]

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.😊

[@simplysimplestamping]

Wendy, I am so glad this was useful for you. Thank you for watching.

[@patriciagraham4786]

Thank you for sharing another awesome technique! Your economical use of paper cutting and placement reminds me of Flash Cards and Flash Cards 2.0. I loved those series! Will you be adding to them anytime soon?

[@simplysimplestamping]

Patricia, I will make a note. I haven't thought about it to be honest.

[@cathygarner6867]
