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!

HELLO, IRRESISTIBLE 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

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.

Here’s the card I featured on last week’s video. We made it at my February card clubs locally and it was a big hit!

Save

My colors include Lost Lagoon, Pecan Pie & Basic Beige. There are two different pieces of the designer paper that’s called Nature Walk and can be seen here.

There are lots of pieces and extra elements to this card. It was super fun to put together. That neat striped embossing folder on the extra Lost Lagoon layer is called Lovely Stripes and can be seen here. It’s one of my new favorites.

This card is kept closed by the narrow ‘flap’ attached to the right side of the card. I added a small triangle to the DSP layer to tuck the corner into. Works great To hold that flap down!

Save

The flap is adhered ‘underneath’ the DSP layer inside the card. *note the other embossing folder used on the card above. It’s called Stone & Vine and is also a deeply textured folder seen here.

There are many, many details on this card I want to highlight. Here goes:
- The die-cut leaves and ‘wood’ piece under the greeting are from the Nature’s Symphony bundle seen here.
- The die-cut leaves are cut out from our two-sided card stock. I love that you can choose the light or the dark side which gives more color choices!
- I added Pecan Pie ink to that wood die-cut with a blending brush.
- The greeting is from the Three Banner punch bundle seen here.
I created a free project sheet you can print or download. Click to see it.

Below is the video tutorial for this card; I hope you watch it as I give multiple tips and ways to make your crafting process easier.

Greenery Lane card with the new Washi Tape

February 26, 2026

I was playing around with the Greenery Lane bundle and the new coordinating Washi Tape and created this card:

Save

My colors are Garden Green with White; simple. I adhered the Washi Tape to a piece of White CS and then cut one piece into a large circle and used the coordinating dies to cut four of the leaves. You can see the bundle here and below.

Save

The Greenery Lane Washi tape coordinates with many of the dies in the bundle. It’s so pretty in shades of green. See it online here.

Save

I also used the Nested Essential dies for the greeting, the Spotlight on Nature dies and the Textured Notes dies (unavailable right now but on the Last Chance list).

Save

If you look at my greeting ‘hugs’ you’ll notice it’s not alone. I carefully inked just the ‘hugs’ with my ink pad since I wanted a short greeting.
I hope you like it and are inspired by product and the layout.
