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.

• Quick & Easy Shaker card with free project sheet & video

  December 4, 2024

  ---

  On last week's video I created two types of shaker cards. Today's project is the easy version. It uses one of our A2 size clear envelopes to hold the shaker pieces.

  Save

  I used the Snowy Scenes designer series paper seen here.  It fits perfectly into one of our clear envelopes seen here. After I add the loose shaker pieces on top of the DSP I fold the envelope over and seal it in the back before adding it to a cardstock layer. It's so easy!

  My colors are Real Red with Garden Green.  I heat embossed the greeting from the Snowy Wonder stamp set. The ribbon is our sheer silver ribbon from the Annual catalog. The shaker pieces include the loose White snowflakes in the Holiday catalog along with two other types of retired loose sequins.  

  Below is a photo of both shaker cards I shared in the video below.

• Holiday Shaker card with video tutorial & free project sheet!

  December 2, 2024

  ---

  I shared these super fun shaker cards on last week's video. They were one of our November card club projects. 

  Save

  The colors include Pool Party, White & Real Red.  The penguin and tree were fussy cut but some of the dies in the Snowy Wonder bundle cut out the printed elements from the Snowy Scenes designer paper. The greeting die are from the Countryside Corners dies. 

  Below you can see how you assemble the shaker card. We used the Pool Party window layer to position the snowman die-cut on the Red card base. Then we stamped the Pool Party layer with snowflakes. Next lay your shaker elements on that as shown below.

  Add the window sheet to the back of your window, then add our Adhesive Strips close to the opening; do not leave any gaps! Add a few supporting adhesive strips as well.  Then remove the paper backing from the strips and turn it over and add over the snowman layer matching the window with the snowman die-cut. Press down well to get a good seal.  Shake!

  My shaker bits include retired loose sequins and the White Loose Snowflakes available here.  We added a few to the front of the card as well.

  The stamped elements are all from the Snowy Wonder stamp set. The snow globe dies are wonderful and match the two different designer paper snow globes wonderfully!
