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.

Irresistible Blooms Fracture card Save

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.

    I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend.  We spent it with most of my kids – played games, made meals and watched a few shows.  It was nice & relaxing.

    Here's another card I made with leftover scraps of card stock.  I shared this technique on my weekly Live video. See it here for tips.

  • Ready to Ride card kit to go; it’s for both guys & gals!

    I chose the Ready to Ride specialty designer paper for one of my April card kits to go; it has wonderful black foil designs on one side and fun prints on the other.  It even has a few flowers for the gals; it's not all about men here! 

    These cards include multiple fun folds as I like to do; they add a fun element for both the creator and the recipient.   

    Ready to Ride Save

    There 2 each of 5 designs in this card kit.  There's a pre-cut kit to go option AND a PDF tutorial only option in my store here.  

    The pre-cut kit to go includes 1/2 pkg. of the Ready to Ride specialty DSP (6" X 12"), a share of both Classic Matte dots and Baker's Twine Essentials pack.  The pre-cut card pieces, die-cuts and punched pieces are all included. 

    Supplies needed:

    • Black ink & adhesives
    • a paper trimmer to cut your new DSP (using the measurements in the tutorial).
    • Greeting images – I used the Legendary Ride and Celebrating You stamp sets, but you can substitute any greeting images you already own.

    The PDF tutorial is added on free and includes step by step directions, photos, measurements and a supply list.  It's $20 in product for just $28!  The tutorial is sent to you via email immediately after payment from my Shop here.  

    The other option is my PDF tutorial seen here.  It's $15 and it's emailed to you immediately after payment.

  • Check out this fun & unique way to use up those card stock scraps!

    Look at this gorgeous card!  It's so bright, colorful and just plain fun! I made it on this week's Live video. My theme was to feature Bermuda Bay (a favorite of mine) and some sets of retiring dies I'll miss a lot! 

    I used the 'Picture This' dies seen here for the multiple circle windows.  The White delicate leaves die-cuts are from the Splendid Stems dies; which I thought were still current!  Oops! 

    Picture This strips Save

    Isn't it striking?  It's almost like a rainbow effect with these bright colors.  I adhered 1/4" strips of card stock to another layer of White (under the White window die).  It's slightly smaller than the top one. Watch the video here to catch my tips on this technique

    I used Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody, Polished Pink and Berry Burst.  The only two colors that will be in the next catalog are Coastal Cabana and Berry Burst!  But I know we'll learn to love the new color line too.  It's always sad to say goodbye to some of our favorites.  

    Next I shared a fun card featuring blues/greens and the Layering Diorama dies. They're discounted to $20.30 now.

    The other dies used are the Amazing Thanks dies seen here (these were $27 and are now just $10.80). 

    BRILLIANT WINGS DIES Save

    And the Brilliant Wings dies shown above which include tons of butterflies in both solid and detailed dies that layer perfectly.  They were $44 and are now just $17.60.  See them here. 

    Here's how I adhered the strips to the back of the White die-cut piece. I die-cut the Layering Diorama shape first and then added these strips on the back side. It's a super fun way to show off your die-cut shape and use up those scraps you just cannot throw out!

    Here are both projects shown together.  I hope this inspired you to use up some of those paper scraps you're saving for 'someday'!
