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

August 22, 2023

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.

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!

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.

Easy way to make a 3 panel card with the Friendly Hello Bundle

January 11, 2022
I shared this pretty card on last week's FB Live. It features the new Friendly Hello bundle. The stamp set AND the 12 X 12" Designer Paper is free with any $100 order during our Sale-a-Bration promotion.

Save

These pretty colors include Pool Party, Fresh Freesia, Black & White. I colored in the bird, flowers & leaves with Stampin' Blends markers.

My top favorite thing about Stampin' Up! is our coordinating colors. The fact that everything matches & coordinates so effortlessly takes so much work out of the creative process! I used to struggle so much to get things to match before I 'met' Stampin' Up!

Measurements:
- Pool Party card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”, White 4” X 5 ¼”
- Evening Evergreen 2 7/8” X 1 ¾”.
- DSP 3 pieces 1 3/4” X 5”, 1 7/8” X 3”, 1 7/8” square
I stamped one of the images onto the edges of my inside layer; almost like a frame. Love this added detail!

Check out this bundle here. It's a wonderful set of stamps & the DSP is gorgeous!

3 ideas with the Friendly Hello bundle with video & measurements

January 10, 2022

I featured the Friendly Hello bundle on last week's Facebook Live. One of the projects is this 'latch fold' card. Click here to get to my page & I hope you'll follow me too.

It's normally called a Joy Fold card but I added the flowers on the lower left as a latch to hold it closed. I like it when a fun fold card stays flat and doesn't pop open on it's own.

The color combination is Pool Party with Fresh Freesia. I think it's soft & springy; which we sorely need right now in North Dakota. It's super color the last few weeks with more snow than I like!

Click here to see the Friendly Hello bundle. It's part of our Sale-a-Bration offering through the end of February, 2022. It's free with a $100 purchase from my store. I love this time of year when everyone can get something free with their purchase. Most items are free with a $50 order but there are a few of higher value that are free with a $100 order.

Save

I stamped the left flap of the card with the double flower image instead of texturing it. I like the tone on tone stamping. It adds detail without getting 'busy'.

I added the new Iridescent Rhinestones to the flower centers. Love these so much! I'm actually gifting a package away to everyone who places an online order over $50 this month. See them here.
