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!!

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.

• A cute Spooky Halloween cards

  October 3, 2025

  ---

  I created this special card using the Spooky Halloween suite. I absolutely love this scene!

  Save

  I used the largest circle die in the Spotlight on Nature dies to create the mask around the large moon. I blended Petunia Pop ink onto a piece of White card stock. Then added the yellow die-cut moon. Next I sponged Secret Sea ink on the upper portion of the card.
  Lastly I added a curvy hills (cut with a scissors) and the die-cut house and fence pieces from the bundle.

  Check out those sparkly stars and die-cut bat! I heat embossed the word ‘spooky’ with White embossing powder and then colored the embossing purple with a Blends marker.

  My colors are Black, White & Gold. I used multiple sheets of the Modern Christmas Designer paper. Notice that some of the trees are raised. I fussy cut a section from the designer paper and added it over a die-cut circle of another set of trees. I layered that onto a Black die-cut circle from the Spotlight on Nature dies. Finally I added one of the new gold hoops around it all. Tip: adhere the gold hoops with tiny dashes of Multipurpose Liquid Glue. Works great!
