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.

I've been sharing projects Annette made as part of my Team's Artist of the Month series. My Flowerbug's team members have a chance to opt in to create projects featuring a stamp set or bundle they choose. They get to keep the product for creating project for our group.

She chose the Bewitching Bundle from our 2022 Holiday catalog seen here.

Save

She made a slimline card from Gray Granite cardstock and added three of our newest In colors.

Save

She stamped each one in Black Memento ink and colored each one with Blends markers. They're popped up on stitched White squares from the Stylish Shapes dies.

Save

She also added trim from the Silver Mesh ribbon. Love the spiders hanging in each frame!

Next up is a sweet treat bag with Starry Sky. You can find these bags in our 2022 Holiday catalog on page 35. These bags have star cutouts that make it easy to add color by inserting a piece of paper behind. Here she added some 2022-24 In Color glimmer paper.

Save

She tied the bag closed with Silver Mesh and 1/8" Starry Sky metallic ribbons. Love the many rhinestones on the hat!

I hope you enjoyed all of her projects. If you missed them, click on the heading of this blog and scroll back to see each one.
