The easy way to make a ‘Fractured’ card! Video tutorial & free project sheet!

You may have seen these cards online lately; they're quite popular.  It looked s bit intimidating to me; I thought I'd have to do a lot of measuring to get the pieces to fit exactly.  

Well my team member Karen shared how to make them at our August Team meeting and I was surprised to learn it's quite easy peasy!  So I had to share the fractured card on a recent Live video so YOU could see how fun & quick it is.

Irresistible Blooms Fracture card Save

I chose to use the Hello, Irresistible designer paper and the Irresistible Blooms stamp set; both Online Exclusives. See all of our products available online here.  There are so many they have their own category!  

This card starts out with a full 4" X 5 1/4" layer of designer paper.  The center squares and strips are added on directly over the designer paper!  No measuring needed!!

This pretty designer paper is in low inventory.  Do you have it yet?  It's just beautiful!

HELLO, IRRESISTIBLE 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

My center squares are approximately 2" in size and are from the Stylish Shapes dies – the middle die of the 5 square dies. I chose to add a 2 1/4" layer under my square.  

Tip: Once you adhere your square to the upper center (eyeballing, no measuring needed) you will start adding your 1/4" X 5" strips of card stock.  You start at the upper center.  Leave the excess strips hanging off the card until you're done; then just trim off.  *watch the video below to see my helpful tips for success. 

Here are both cards I shared in the video; one in Pretty Peacock and the other in Petal Pink.

Which do you prefer?  One is soft and pretty and the other is vibrant. I like the 1/4" strips to match the card base; I feel it gives a greater sense of continuity.  

I kept these cards quite simple but you could certainly add more to it.

    I stamped directly onto this foil printed DSP with the Simply Fabulous stamp set seen here.  I chose it because of it's bold, solid images.

  • Changing up this fancy fold from a men’s card to glitzy!

    I created this neat double-flap fancy fold card for last month's Card Clubs.  It features the He's the Man suite seen here or on pages 78-79 of the 2022-23 Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up!   

    June He's the Man Save

    The colors include Soft Succulent, Early Espresso & White. 

    Details:

    • The White & banner die-cuts are from the All That dies; but get the stamp set & dies in a bundle at an extra 10% off here.  
    • The DSP is from the He's the Man paper
    • All greetings are from the He's All That stamp set. 
    • The background is stamped using Versamark ink on the Soft Succulent panel. 
    • The inside white is a die-cut using the Deckled Rectangle dies seen here. 

    I created a video showing you how to make it; click here to watch.  Or scroll down to the bottom of this post.  It looks hard but is sooo easy!  

    June He's the Man Save

    Measurements

    • Card base 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"; cut off 1 1/2" of the card front.
    • side flap is 3" X 3 3/4" scored at 1/2" on the long side
    • He's the Man DSP 2 1/2" X 5 1/4"
    • White inside 4" X 5 1/4"

    I had left-over packets of this card we made for club last month and decided to change it up for a totally new look!  

    Texture Chic & He's the Man Save

    I switched out the He's the Man designer paper to the Texture Chic Specialty paper.  I also added a few vellum leaves from the Bough punch and a Gold die-cut accent from the Painted Label dies. 

    The greeting is from the Good Feelings stamp set; the label is the new Handmade Tag punch in the Holiday catalog. 

    Texture Chic & He's the Man Save

    This card features a die-cut butterfly from the Brilliant Wings dies.  The butterfly wing actually holds the left flap closed.

    I love the double flap of this fancy fold!   Here are all three versions of my 'make-over' cards.  I love switching it up to create something totally different and the Texture Chic specialty paper doesn't disappoint!
