Easy TWISTED RIBBON makes an intriguing, unusual junk journal element design 

Cindy, you're absolutely right! I love playing with techniques that work in both cards AND junk journals. Thanks for watching!

Oh, I'm so glad this brought back some cozy memories you! Thanks for telling me, I loved knowing this!

Thank you, Lynda! Yes, I started as a card maker myself - so many techniques transfer nicely to junk journaling, and can look completely different because of the unique materials we use in our journals. Thanks again for watching!

Thank you so much, Brenda - have fun using your scraps! I appreciate your watching.

Thank you so much, Dayna! You'll have fun with yours, I know!

Thank you, Sharon!

Marcia, thank you so very much! It does seem to make an intriguing pattern - glad you enjoyed it!

Thank you so much, Sonja! I appreciate your watching - have fun crafting!

Thanks, Heather! Yes, I'm currently going through my bin of page margins to stamp on them and use in this technique - as if I need any MORE paper scraps! I really appreciate your watching, thank you!

Gladys, you're so kind, thank you so much! Yours will be great!

Thank you so much, Ava! I appreciate your watching!

Thanks, Jeanne!! We're actually headed to Newport camping very soon! Taking our little grandson to the Oregon Aquarium. We've been there many times, this will be first time with Barney. He's going to love it! Thanks for watching!

Oh, wow, I'm honored to be part of your day! Stay cool! My best friend lives in Knoxville and I hope to get there to visit this fall sometime. Many thanks for joining me here - we have a lot of fun!

Thank you so much, Sheila, you're so kind! I certainly didn't invent the technique, but it translates well to junk journals - I'm so thrilled that you're going to try it!

Thanks, my friend! And yes, the ZINNIA is the perfect Z!!! Talk you soon! ❤️

Thank you so much! Yes, I've enjoyed this technique on cards, which is where it first became popular. Have fun making yours!

Thank you, Peggy! I'm always aware that when I pronounce the word "zinnia," I always say it the Midwestern way -- "ZEEN-ee-ya" - that was the Nebraska way! Julie's watercolors are so pretty.

Let's twist again...like we did last summer...! Thanks so much, my friend. And I LOVE your printables. Mostly I love them because they represent original artwork done by YOU, no stock images. That originality just shines through - plus, they are joyful and so beautiful! BTW, I realized I called the pink flower a "ZEEN-yah" which is how I grew up saying it in Nebraska. Most other people say "ZIN (rhymes with PIN")-ee-yah." Either way, it's one of my favorite sweet old-fashioned garden flowers. And YOURS are the best!

Hey Jules! I have to say that the card made with your Zinnia's was my favorite.

@@bohohippiebySonja Thank you so much. 😀

Jillian, thank you so much! I really appreciate your watching and sharing - again, many thanks!

This technique would be fabulous with washi tape! And it doesn't matter what the width is if you use the template hack. Thanks so much for watching, I appreciate it!

Oh, Pam, I'm so honored that this can figure into your holiday plans! Thank you!

Oh, Claire, I can ABSOLUTELY see this hack being perfect for painting harlequin designs - or plaids or anything else with parallel lines! Now you've got me thinking....hmmmmm....have fun creating your twisted ribbon designs! Thanks so much!

@@annekenlon it's quite fabulous and so easy! Basically you take a piece of paper, or cardboard and place it from the upper left corner down to the lower right corner, covering the entire piece, then draw a line using the paper edge as your guide.You then take the paper and place it up against that line and move it both upwards until you run out of room, and then downward from the original line. Next you take your template paper and place it at the upper right corner and connect it to the lower left corner. Continue with that same process using that first line as you go. As you finish it up, you will see the perfect diamond pattern has been created! Your paper template size determines the size of the diamond. Easy peasy!! I hope that my explanation makes sense. 😊

So glad you were here for it, Peggy - zinnias and all! :-)

Thank you, Sandra!

Thank you, Wendy! And yes, it's surprisingly quick, especially with the hack!

Margie, thank you so much! I'm delighted to have you here! (And my mother's name was Marjorie, so you know I smiled when I saw your name!) Thanks for watching - hope you find lots that you enjoy here.

Yes, a few birdies would be sweet on this background, wouldn't they? They will actually make a special guest appearance in my video for this Friday (6/21) so stay tuned! hee hee! Thanks, as always, for watching!

Thanks again, Susie! I'm so delighted you are enjoying these videos - I know I enjoy making them for you!

Thank you, Heather! Have fun with it!

Thank you, Linda! Cheers!

Oh, absolutely - wash is ideal for this!

I'm totally loving them, too, Suzy! One thing I love about @julietorrens digitals is that they represent her original wonderful work - they're not stock images that someone else just manipulated, which is how many digital kits are. Here's to our friend Julie!

Great idea, Robin, thanks! My poor old gridded mat is getting so worn out, I can barely see the lines in some places - perhaps I'll replace it for myself at Christmastime! Thanks for watching!

❤️ to you as well, Brenda!

I made it out of fabric I had on hand! It's so easy! Here's the link on how to make yours: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HvWLKHtG0vI.html - thanks for watching!

@annekenlon No Way!! Well that's awesome, THANK YOU! You have fabulous ideas and I've been binge watching since I found you! Keep them coming! 😁

Hi, Charlene! The two I did at the beginning were about three inches wide by six or seven inches tall - I don’t have them handy to measure but that’s pretty close. Thanks for watching!

​@@annekenlonthanks!!! Can't wait to try one!!!
