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!

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 Stunning fall card with Gorgeous Garden; with a video tutorial and free project sheet!

October 4, 2023
Check out this fabulous, colorful autumn card we made at my September card clubs!

Save

We added fall colors to the die-cut using Blending brushes.

This die-cut is in the Gorgeous Garden dies seen here. This is the leaves die and there is also a floral option as shown below.

Save

**Check out these other projects featuring these dies – here and here.

If you're interested in these dies now is a great time to purchase them. Add on another item or two and you'll qualify to receive a Mystery Box from me! *see details below

The card base is Vanilla as well as the die-cut. Ink colors include: Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Wild Wheat.

We started with the two darkest colors – Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive, adding a few splotches of color leaving many open areas for the remaining two colors. I prefer to add the lightest color of Wild Wheat last, so it can fill in any open areas without covering up the previous colors.

Watch the video here or scroll down to see it below.

The stamps & leaf die-cuts are from the Autumn Leaves bundle seen here. It's a big favorite of mine this season.

Save

The die-cut is almost the entire card front except for a thin edge. I added a strip of Cherry Cobbler to the left side. The greeting is stamped on a Tailored Tags die-cut. The leaves are from both foil and Oxidized Copper papers. *The Oxidized Copper paper is back in stock!
