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!

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.

  • Vertical Slider card – a neat and easy fun fold with video

    I am loving this Vertical slider fun fold design!  I've made two so far and I can easily see me making more.  

    It basically a gatefold card but the additional layer holds it closed. 

    I chose quite unique colors for the Scottie dog.  Think of it as a stuffed animal; ha!  The colors include Pool Party, Petal Pink and Pumpkin Pie.  I wanted to use the Metallic & Shimmer 6 X 6" DSP; I think it's perfect for a celebratory card with the shimmer & dots.  

    The Scottie Dog punch is 30% off starting December 1st; instead of $19, it will be $13.30!  

    For the inside I used the ribbon image from the Christmas Scottie stamp set and the greeting is from Charming Sentiments.  

    The main element comes off when you open the card; plus it slides up and down too.   It consists of three 2 1/4" circles.  2 are scored in half and adhered to the back of the main element.  Then the last one is adhered over both folded circles.  

    What do you think?  Do the colors work for you?  

    Measurements:

    • Petal Party card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" from each end
    • White 2 5/8" square
    • Pumpkin 2 3/4" square
    • Pool Party 2 7/8" square 
    • DSP 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"

    In the video below I share another version of this Vertical Slider card; plus another special fold and easy treat bags.

  • Leaves of Holly card with a gift card option & video


    We made this pretty Christmas card at my November Card Clubs.  It features the Leaves of Holly bundle seen here. 

    I chose these colors – Evening Evergreen, Real Red, White & Soft Succulent.  I sure love the dies in this set; the greeting label with the attached holly leaves is special. 

    *Unfortunately the Holly Berry dies are unavailable right now; they expect they'll be back in stock around December 19th.  

    I think this is a classic Christmas bundle you'd find yourself using often.  It's retiring on December 1st and while supplies last. 

    I gave my gals a choice of 'berry' options.  On the left card below we added two die-cuts from the bundle.  On the right card we added a Textural Element that is colored with Blends markers.  It was almost a tie on which option they chose.  

    I stamped the two more open leave images 2-3 times each in the two green colors and added the greeting element over them.  You can see how in the video below.  It's actually an easy card to make. 

    If you want to add an easy gift card option to any card simply add a strip of DSP across the bottom of the inside. Punch the center with any circle or decorative punch and aAttach it with glue on the outer and lower edges only.  


    Click here to watch it or on the photo below.  There's a special wiper fun fold card shown too!
