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.

  • Two more fun fold cards today; Penguins & Sun Prints

    Today I have two more unique 'fun fold' cards for you.  Both made by my talented Flowerbug's Team members. 

    First is an easy but quite unique fold made by Annette:

    November Annette Save

     

    • She used Night of Navy as her card base.  It's 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" and scored on the long side at 2", 3 1/8", 5 3/8" & 6 1/2". 
    • The Sun Prints DSP are 1 3/4" X 5 1/4" on the out side areas and 2" X 5 1/4" on the center.  
    • I didn't show a photo of the back but she added a White layer in the center area for signing.  It's also 2" X 5 1/4" 

    It stands up nicely too.  Here's what it looks like closed for mailing. 

    November Annette Save

    The scalloped rectangle die-cut if from the Scalloped Contour dies; the greeting is from Charming Sentiments and the pretty stem die-cut is from the Nature's Prints bundle seen here.

    Next is a cute spanner card made by Jacki. She chose to use the Penguin Place stamp set & coordinating Penguin Builder punch. 

    November Jacki Penguins Save

    Can you see how the sides and front greeting are floating in front of the center panel?  It's a neat fold that you'll never see in a pre-made card! 

    She used window sheets across the bottom to hold the greeting layers.  

    November Jacki Penguin Place Save

    The designer paper is from the Tea Boutique 6 X 6" paper in the Annual Catalog.  I love that snow hill curve! 

    November Jacki Penquin Save

    Measurements:

    • White card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4".  
    • Then make cuts at 1 1/4" from both sides on the front and cut to the center score line.  That separates the sides from the front panel. 
    • DSP is 2 3/4" X 2" on the center and 1" X 4" on the sides.  

    November Jacki Penguin Place Save
    Here's a link to the Penguin Place stamp set and here's the Penguin Builder punch.

  • Snowman Magic WOW card; amazing work by Candace!

    Last weekend we held our monthly Flowerbug's Team swap.  Our theme was fun folds!  I know you're going to love seeing their wonderful creations. 

    Today I'm sharing two cards featuring the Santa Express designer paper. This first is made by Candace. She used the Snowman Magic bundle seen here in the 2022 Holiday Catalog.  

    November Candace Snowman Magic Save
    Amazing, right?!  

    It folds flat for mailing and fits in a standard A2 envelope.  

    November Candace Save

    I'm going to do my best to provide the correct card stock measurements for this:  

    • Shaded Spruce 2 pieces at 4" X 6" score on the long sides at 2" & 5 1/2"; turn and score on the short side at 2".  Cut up to the score lines and trim off the extra 1/2" strip.  
    • inside pieces are 1" X 5 1/2" scored at 3/4" from both ends.  The scored ends are folded and adhered to the outer edges of the box inside. 

    She used 1/4" strips of Window Sheets to hold up the snowflakes and holly.  The snowmen, trees and bunny are adhered to the box and inside strips.  It's so darn cute! 

    SNOWMAN MAGIC BUNDLE (ENGLISH) Save

    All of these elements are in the Snowman Magic bundle! 

    November Candace Save

    Next is another incredible card made by Brenda; she chose to use the Santa Express designer paper also and added the coordinating Santa's Delivery bundle to hers.

    November Brenda Save

    It's a side-step fun fold card.  She chose to use Petal Pink and Pear Pizzazz for her card base & layers.  I love the jumping penguins and that smoke stack!  

    November Brenda Save
    Here are the measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 6" scored in half at 4 1/4".  Then make a mark at the 1" and at 6 3/8" at the 3" mark across.  
    • Now you'll cut from those marks down the center of the card.  
    • Next score up to the cut line at 1", 2", 3 1/4" and 6 3/8" 

    November Santa Express Brenda Save

    She cut the trains from the Santa Express designer paper using the Santa's Train dies; which coordinate perfectly.  The cute penguins & smoke are stamped, colored & die-cut.  They're added with 1/4" strips of Window sheets so they pop up and flutter when opened.  Just adorable!  

    November Brenda Santa Express Save
    See the Santa's Train bundle here and the Santa Express DSP here.
