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.

  • EASY 5 at a time cards with Leaves of Holly

    I created a set of gorgeous Christmas cards on last week's FB Live video using my two templates.  

    Leaves of Holly cards 5 Save

    I used the Leaves of Holly bundle seen here and these colors – Soft Succulent, Evening Evergreen, Real Red & Cherry Cobbler.  My Soft Succulent card bases are either 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" or 4 1/4" X 11".  

    I did use a few images from Merriest Moments stamp set as well.  

    Here is the main template that you stamp on.  It shows the cutting measurements that give you 5 pieces for your card fronts.  I frequently use these measurements for the inside of cards; especially when I make a bunch at a time.  Instead of just 4 layers you get 5 from one piece of 8 1/2" X 11" card stock. 

    Each piece measures 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" 

    5 in one cutting template Save

    In the photo below I stamped on the Basic White card stock (shown on the right) and then cut that into 5 pieces using the template above.  I stamped down the center mostly, leaving open areas in each section so I could stamp a greeting.  If it didn't work out (or I just want to), I add a die-cut or punched greeting. 

    To see how I did this the link for the video is here.

    Here's the other template for the colored layer under the stamped White piece.  In my case it's Cherry Cobbler. Each piece measures 4 7/8" X 3 5/8" giving you a narrow edge, but all 5 from one sheet with very little waste!  Love that!

  • The Gorgeous Leaves of Holly bundle is not just for Christmas!

    The Leaves of Holly bundle is back!  It was unavailable for awhile but it's back in stock now.  

    I made this pretty card for last month's Flowerbug's Team swap.  The theme was Fall or Halloween.  I wanted to show that this bundle isn't just for Christmas.  What do you think?

    I used Bermuda Bay, Blackberry Bliss and a bit of Old Olive here.  The greeting is from the Charming Sentiments set seen here.  

    After I stamped the card panel I felt it was a bit busy so I added a layer of Vellum card stock over it.  I love the soft feel that the vellum gives!  

    Here's a peek at the Leaves of Holly bundle. It's full of pretty images and wonderful dies.  The greeting die-cut with the leaves attached is my very favorite; see it on the bottom left below. See it in my store here.

    For added texture I added sponging around the edge and on the die-cut leaves.
