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!!

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 also used another sneak peak product from the upcoming Holiday catalog; the Timber 3D embossing folder. Of course I stamped the greeting before I embossed it.

I hope you watch the video below to get the tips on cutting these pieces and finishing the cards.

Here is the template. Start out with a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of card stock AND of Designer Paper.

Save

I suggest you cut this out of scrap card stock. Make marks where indicated and cut on the diagonal. Once you have the template I first place the bottom left piece (2 1/2") over my cut DSP & CS pieces and cut. Then I use the upper right piece (3 3/4") on the remaining piece of papers and cut. That leaves me with the center piece ready to go.

Here's the video for you:

Welcoming Woods Holiday Catalog Sneak Peak

July 28, 2021
With each new catalog I join a bunch of online swaps so I can get lots of samples to share with my customers. Both the Holiday catalog and a 2nd Sale-a-Bration catalog start on August 3rd! I know my customers started to receive theirs last week.

I loved the Welcoming Woods stamp set immediately. Nature, trees, 'scene building' sets are some of my favorites.

I went for a soft look of winter trees on my card.

Save

I stamped the trees in Crumb Cake ink onto the White CS. Then I added snowflakes in Balmy Blue ink and sponged a light 'mist' of Balmy Blue on the sky. Of course I added a few rhinestones for sparkle!

That beautiful Designer Paper is called Harvest Meadow.

Save

The tags for the greeting is from the Tailor Made Tags dies seen here.

Measurements:
- Crumb Cake card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- White 3" X 4"
- Balmy Blue 3 1/4" X 4 1/4"
- Harvest Meadow DSP 2" X 4 1/4"
