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!!

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 WOW card with Swirled Designs

  April 7, 2026

  ---

  This is one of those cards you will not soon forget; the Swirled Designs bundle is so cool!

  Save

  See what I mean? The colors include Blueberry Bushel, Shaded Spruce & White. Striking, bold colors for a celebratory card. The stars are die-cuts from the Swirled Designs dies.

  The Swirled Designs bundle was a sleeper; not many people have used it. But once you do…. you’ll want to use it over and over. See the stamp set here and the dies here. You can choose the bundle here, but the dies are discounted which makes it almost the same cost to order separately. It’s on the Last Chance list unfortunately; only available while supplies last.

  Save

  For the greetings I used the Reason to Celebrate stamp set. Wonderful and specific greeting images you will love. See it here.

  Save

  It’s a simple fun fold card where you score the front one extra time. I used the Garden Poetry DSP for the left side panel. That’s where I got the idea for my colors.

• Gorgeous Petals of Beauty fun fold card with video

  April 6, 2026

  ---

  This pretty card was a big favorite of my club gals in March.

  Save

  It features the Brushed with Beauty suite which includes many items that are now on the Last Chance list!
  The Petals of Beauty bundle was used mostly for the stamped images and die-cuts. See it here.

  Save

  My card base is Very Vanilla with the following additional colors: Mossy Meadow, Petal Pink, Darling Duckling.

  Save

  Look at the airy Vanilla flower petal die-cuts above. They are not meant to match which I love!

  You cannot tell but there is a window sheet sandwiched between the top and bottom layers. It adds a bit of surprise to the card. The rounded leaf die-cut is cut from the new Wood Grain Wonders 12 X 12″ specialty paper seen here. It has a very faint wood grain to each sheet in all wood tones. I added a bit of Mossy Meadow ink to the one on the right above.

  Save

  I added designer paper to the inside layers as well; all from the Brushed with Beauty DSP seen here.
