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.

  • A neat Accordion Fun-Fold with the new Marbled Elegance – video too!


    I played with the Marbled Elegance suite on last week's video and created this card: 

    The colors include Melon Mambo, Soft Sea Foam and Gold. I used lots of products from this new Suite including the Marbled Elegance DSP, the new Twisted Gold thread and the new Adhesive-backed heart sequins. I also used the Modern Herringbone embossing folder and the Sentimental Park dies for the greeting die-cut. 

    See this pretty suite here:

    The front and back of this card are panels measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" but the inside is an accordion fold that is attached to the front and back. Such an easy fold to make and I like that it uses your cardstock efficiently.

    They released a big bunch of new Online Exclusive products and the Pretty Petals stamp set was one of my picks. I made a bunch of these for an online swap I joined: 

    I love the color combo of Pretty in Pink & Lost Lagoon.  But there are many other things to admire about this beautiful card:

    • the new Modern Herringbone embossing folder seen here
    • the Distinktive stamps that provide two-toned stamped images effortlessly
    • The fun-fold design – it's a book-binding Z-fold! 
    • the greeting is from the new Hearts of Elegance stamp set seen here
    • the pretty Lost Lagoon soft cording seen here 

     

    Here's the new Modern Herringbone embossing folder: 

    I used the very center strip on the embossing folder for the Pink textured layers on my cards.
