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!

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

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.

  • Hey Chuck Fancy Fold cards! Part 3

    And today I'm sharing the last 2 projects featuring Hey Chuck.  Annette is one of my talented Flowerbug's and she chose this bundle for her Artist of the Month projects.

    This first project features the Masterfully Made designer paper seen here and it's also a fun fold…

    July Annette fancy fold Save

    I love how she added a torn edge greeting; it fits perfectly with this designer paper that has a torn look to many sheets. 

    So here's a clue to her fun fold design: 

    July Annette pop and twist Save

    Do you recognize this fold? It's called a Pop & Twist fun fold card.  It's not easy to learn; but super cool to give out!  I do not have a video on this fold but you can do a search on YouTube and find many video tutorials.  

    Here's the open view:

    Isn't it cool? She added some soft blended background colors on each layer which makes a huge difference to the finished look.  Isn't that designer paper perfect with this bundle?  

    If you like a challenge you should enjoy making one of these.  I've made a few and honestly I don't plan to make any more!  Ha! 

    Here's the Hey Chuck bundle she used.  The dies are back now and available!

    Next is a fun fold card featuring the Earthen Elegance designer paper.  

    July Annette window Save

    She got this fun fold idea from Lisa Curcio.  It has 4 pieces of Misty Moonlight card stock measuring 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8". They're adhered together back to back like this: 

    July Annette Window card Save

    There are 8 pieces of designer paper on each card stock side; measuring 2" X 5 3/8".  The pop-up designer paper on the front and back has a window cut out of it to reveal the rooster image inside; using the same die-cut.  She used the Tailored Tags dies.  This DSP measures 4 1/2" wide X 5". Score 1/2" from each side on the 4 1/2" edge. 

    Here's the back side:  

    July Annette Window Save

    There's a folded strip of card stock under the White tag that pops it up when opened. I may share one of these cards on an upcoming video soon; it's quite intriguing!  

    I hope you enjoyed seeing all of her projects; she did an incredible job! If you want to see details on each one, click here for part 1 and here for part 2.

  • Amazing WOW projects with Hey Chuck; Part 2

    Each month one of my Flowerbug's Team is featured as an Artist of the Month.  For July Annette chose the adorable Hey Chuck bundle seen here.  I know you'll be amazed at her fabulous projects I'll be sharing. 

    First up today is a stunning framed sampler.  

    July Annette frame Save
    Just look at her incredible scenes!  I think the bit of blue behind each image sets them off incredibly. 

    Sampler details:

    • She used Azure Afternoon ink and blending brushes to add a bit of blue behind her die-cut rooster scenes. 
    • The designer paper behind it all is the Masterfully Made designer series paper seen here. 
    • She colored the images with Blends markers and popped them up on the squares. 
    • Her 4 white squares measure 2 5/8", colored squares are 2 3/4" and the black are 2 7/8" squares 
    • The black frame is 9" in size; the glass opening is 7 1/2"

    Look at this hilarious rooster!  And the perfect greeting for him….. 

    July Annette roost Save

    She used the Dots & Spots die for her background and that strip of the Masterfully Made DSP is a perfect addition to this card and her color choices. The white on white theme makes the image pop! 

    The dimension she achieved by popping up the rooster and the greeting with Dimensionals makes such a difference to this card.  

    Details:

    • Dots & Spots white layers are 5" X 3 3/4", Pumpkin Pie layer is 5 1/8" X 3 7/8"
    • Stitched circle is from the Stylish Shapes dies
    • DSP strip is 4" X 1"

    Next is a fun fold card featuring the Glorious Gingham designer paper.  

    July Annette 4fold Save

    She got the idea from Karen Titus.  The DSP is 6" square and you score and cut it to fold in on itself.  Here's what it looks like when it's closed up:
