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.

  • Gorgeous Wintery Encircled in Nature card with video tutorial


    This is the other card I shared on my weekly Live video last week.  It's one of my favorites this season. There's something elegant about a mostly white card.  

    I added bits of Pretty Peacock in ink and glimmer paper.  The extra White layer is textured with the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder and then I lightly added ink with a Blending Brush. I stamped the trees image plus added a die-cut of the Glimmer Trees. The curvy leaves die and sprig are also part of the dies in the Encircled in Nature bundle seen here. 

    I shared how to make this card on the video below a bit.  Or click here. Don't forget to follow me on YouTube.

  • Encircled in Nature in Autumn colors – free project sheet & video tutorial


    I shared this pretty card on last week's Live video. I featured the Encircled in Nature bundle.

    My colors include Basic Beige, Cajun Craze and Old Olive.  I used Daffodil Delight, Peach Pie and Calypso Coral for the sunset, adding each color softly with Blending Brushes.

    I textured the extra layer (4" X 5 1/4") of Basic Beige with the Birch Wood 3D embossing folder seen here. Then I lightly sponged Basic Beige ink over it with a Blending Brush. I added Cajun Craze & Old Olive ink to the die-cut leaves with. 

    This pretty bundle is one of our Online Exclusives; available while supplies last.  It's already been out for awhile so I'm wondering how much longer it will be available. *if you want it act fast! 

    Here's a photo of the bundle; click here to see it online.

    I cut the wreath circle from both layers at the same time, saving one for the sunset layer adhered inside the card. 

    I finished it off with some 2023-25 In Color sparkle gems. Catch the video tutorial below to get the tips on creating this card.
