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.

Do you save your scraps? Look what I did with mine!

April 30, 2024

Do you ever save your tiny scraps in the hopes of creating something with them? When I saw the little petals left from this pretty die-cut I saw a flower in my head. What do you think? Would you save them?

Save

This pretty & delicate die-cut is from the Thoughtful Wishes bundle in the new catalog. When I prepped cards for a Team Meeting a few weeks ago I had to save the pieces & try this! It features our new 2024-26 In Color Glimmer specialty paper in the new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up! This catalog goes live tomorrow! May 1st!!

Here are the three cards I made with the finished flowers:

Save

From left to right the colors are Summer Splash, Peach Pie and Petunia Pop.

I glued the petals to a small circle; then added the white center (Zinnia die) over them.

The large leaf die is from the new Thoughtful Wishes bundle & the circles are from the new Spotlight on Nature bundle (the dotted circle is from Everyday Details).

Save

The card above is Petunia Pop color. The pretty designer paper is our new 2024-26 Designer paper pack. I heat embossed the greeting (Spotlight on Nature set) with White embossing powder onto Black card stock. That pop of Black on a card adds a bit of elegance.

Which is your favorite of these three colors? Remember you can get in on my new product shares for just 1 more week: the In Color bundle, designer paper share or an In Color ribbon share. See details below:
