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!

HELLO, IRRESISTIBLE 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

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 have two more fabulous swap cards to share with you from our September Team swaps. My Flowerbug's are so talented and creative.

Paula made a Waterfall card! These are not difficult but a bit intimidating maybe…. I shared a FB Live video here on how to make one.

She featured the Scary Cute bundle seen here as well as the Black & White designs DSP here. The colors are Black, White & Gorgeous Grape.

Save

She also used the Blossoming Happiness dies for her bottom border so she'd have a spot to add the Orchid Oasis 1/8" metallic ribbon for the pull.

Save

Measurements:
- Black card 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 5 1/2"
- Basic Gray strip 5 1/2" X 1 1/4", waterfall strip is 2 1/2" X 10" scored at 5 1/4", 6", 6 3/4" & 7 1/2"
- Gorgeous Grape squares are 2 1/2"
- White squares are 2 1/4"
- DSP is 4" X 5 1/4"
Here's a peak of the last inside panel with the die-cut & spooky scene. She stamped the greeting on the long inside strip.

Save

Again, if you want to know how to make one of these waterfall cards check out my video here.

Next is a colorful Halloween card made by Sharon using this same bundle. She also added stamps from the Best Witches & Bewitching stamp sets.

Save

Her colors include Rich Razzleberry, Parakeet Party, Black & Daffodil Delight. She used the Deckle dies for her front layers and inside as well.

Save

Here's a photo of this cute bundle. Click on it to see it in my store.

My Flowerbug's Team amazes me with their incredible card swaps; each and every month their cards are super fabulous! I shouldn't be surprised at this point!

Our September Team card swap featured Halloween or Fall cards and I'll be featuring them for the next several days.

Annette made this first card with the Best Witches stamp set seen here. Look at her amazing coloring!

Save

The colors include Highland Heather, Black & a bit of Granny Apple Green on the frog. She used Blends markers for her coloring. Love that face!

The designer is our Black & White Designs from the Holiday catalog. The circles are from the Layering Circles dies.

It's also a fun fold 'latch' card! Here's the inside view:

Measurements:
- Highland Heather: Card base 6 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". Side flap is3 1/2" square
- Black: 2 3/4" X 3 1/4" & 2" X 5 1/4"
- DSP: 1 3/4" X 5"
- White: front is 2 1/2" X 3", inside is 4" X 5 1/4"
In the photo below you can see how the right panel is 'latched' with the layered circle greeting to keep it closed.

Next is a super cute card made by Candace with the Bewitching punch bundle seen here. Unfortunately the punch is unavailable right now but it will be back! I just love her playful circles layout!

Save

She used Gorgeous Grape, Pumpkin Pie, Black & Granny Apple Green. She cut off the front flap with the Border Basics dies and added a strip of Gorgeous Grape with the same die-cut edge.

The way she added the boots to be under the hat with this fold is genius!

Save

Measurements:
- Grape card base 5 1/2" X 4 1/4" plus a 3/4" X 5 1/2" strip for the zigzag die-cut border
- White is 5 1/4" X 7" scored at 4 1/8"
- Circles are all die-cuts from the Stylish Shapes dies!

I shared this cute & easy box on Tuesday's FB Live. It's quite simple to make and fits a bunch of treats too!

Save

I decided to feature this month's Paper Pumpkin kit I just received. It's called Spooky Treats. I used the ghost and greeting images from the stamp set plus the greeting element and the bats paper from the kit. I chose the Black & White designs paper for the designer paper.

Save

The finished box measures 3" X 5" in size.

Here are the measurements:
- Box card stock 7” X 9” – Score at 1” on all sides.
- Place CS with long side at the top, score at 4” & 5”
- DSP – sides 2 at ¾” X 2 ¾”, front & back 2 at ¾” X 4 ¾”. Top is 2 ¾” X 4 ¾”
For the second box I chose to use Gorgeous Grape for my box instead of Pumpkin Pie. The designer paper is also the Black & White designs.

Save
