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.

  • Quick Hey Chick card


    Last week I received this cute card from Donna from the Stampin' Up! home office for reaching a sales milestone.  I think it's sweet & simple!  Two stamps and a bit of coloring. 

    It's one of those cards you could make a bunch of to share with friends for just about any reason. 

    This card is a great reminder that we don't have to always layer everything evenly. Choose some random pieces from your leftover pieces (that coordinate of course) and place them on the card at will.  Play around until you're happy and the card feels balanced.  

    The little 'hey chick' greeting and rhinestones add the perfect finishing touch!
