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.

Framed Florets card in blues; an easy layout idea

November 8, 2022
And the blog issues continue….. If you're looking at this from a phone or tablet you may not see any photos. But as of yesterday they did show up on a computer. I hope Typepad figures this out soon!

This is one of the cards I demonstrated on last week's FB Live video. Each one features the new Fitting Florets collection of products.

The card was inspired by the colors in the pretty floral designer paper. I chose Night of Navy, Balmy Blue & Soft Succulent with White. The oval is from the Framed Florets dies; the flower & leaves are from the Framed Florets bundle. I colored them in with Blends markers.

The greeting images are so pretty; I love the mixed font.

In the video below, I shared three cards featuring the Framed Florets bundle and the Fitting Florets DSP seen here. This DSP is a limited time products; available through early January or while supplies last. It's featured in this month's kit to go seen here.

Each card is a unique fancy fold; showing off the fun patterns in the Sweetest Christmas designer paper.

This kit to go includes the PDF tutorial, the 10 card pre-cut cards kit, a share of the Sweetest Christmas designer paper, green 3/8" ribbon and Adhesive-backed sequins plus 10 envelopes.

The PDF tutorial is emailed to you immediately after payment. It includes photos, step by step directions, measurements and a supplies list. You'll use the measurements in it to cut your new designer paper; everything else is cut, die-cut or punched for you.
