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.

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.  

Click here or on the photo below to watch the video.  I believe it will give you the confidence to try it.

  • Gorgeous Leaves paired with the Timber embossing folder


    Today I get to share two cards made by my talented Team members who used the beautiful Gorgeous Leaves bundle seen here.  I shared a bunch earlier this week as well. Click here to see them. 

    First is a beautiful card made by Marilyn.  Her colors include Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, Old Olive & Crushed Curry. 

    It's hard to see in this photo but after she stamped the background she ran it through the die-cutting machine with the Timber embossing folder.  

    Her die-cut leaves are darker than the normal hues since she sponged the corresponding color over each one.  Neat effect! 

    Measurements: 

    • Crumb Cake 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • Cajun Craze 3 3/4" X 5" & Stitched So Sweetly die-cut 2 1/2" X 3 5/8"
    • Vanilla 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" & 2 1/8" X 3 1/4"

    Next is a lovely card made by Deloris. She also used the Timber embossing folder seen here. 

    She also added a strip of the Cork specialty paper.  This paper can be found in the Holiday catalog on page 55.  It sure adds a neat touch to autumn or men's cards! 

    Her colors include Early Espresso, Cajun Craze & Bumblebee. 

    Measurements:

    • Early Espresso card 5 1/2" x 8 1/2"
    • Cajun Craze 3 3/4" X 5"
    • White 3 1/4" X 4 1/2"
    • Cork 1" X 4 1/2"
    • Bumblebee 1/4" X 4 1/2" strip
