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.

I was playing around with the new In Colors and the pretty new Quiet Meadow Bundle and created this pretty card:

I wanted to see if I could add colored flowers to the green die-cuts. It was actually very easy to do! I cut the entire dies in Soft Succulent and then cut mostly the flowers in the colors. I then trimmed the flowers to add to the stems.

You can get a similar effect if you die-cut everything in White CS and then add color by sponging. I'll try that sometime soon and share the results.

I used the new In Colors of Soft Succulent, Fresh Freesia, Pale Papaya and Polished Pink. The only one I didn't use is Evening Evergreen. That pretty greeting die is also included in these Meadow dies! Can you see the shimmer on the flowers? I added a bit of Wink of Stella. The embossing folder is Tasteful Textile.
