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!

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 great way to add multiple pieces with the Press & Seal technique


    I shared this pretty card on last week’s video featuring new products and a neat and easy technique. If you’ve ever struggled to add multiple pieces perfectly, as you’ve laid them out, this will help you so much!

    My colors include Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon and White. The large die-cut is from the Perennial Postage dies and the greeting & leaves dies are from the Creative Haven dies seen here.

    Tips on using Press & Seal to adhere die-cuts perfectly in place:
    I placed the center greeting piece in the center of the Postage die-cut. Then I tucked each die-cut leaf under and around it placing them just where I wanted them. Next I lifted the greeting piece off and pressed a piece of my Press & Seal kitchen wrap onto the die-cut leaves. Once they were all stuck on the wrap I turned them over and added adhesive to the back. I then turned it over and adhered it to my White layer. Let it dry or set a bit and then carefully peel off the Press & Seal wrap.

    I love this technique!!

    I created a free project sheet for this card with measurements, directions and a product list. You can see or download it here.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and one more pretty Easel card too.

    The kits below will ship out this week so you have plenty of time to finish them by December. And they’re quick & easy too!

    The Christmas Tags & More cards are easy because there isn’t any stamping. The greetings are from the gold foil ephemera pack included in the kit.

    This kit to go includes a share of the festive designer paper, the ribbon, the peppermint gems, the ephemera greetings, the PDF tutorial and video too. Plus the pre-cut 10 cards that are all fun folds. All for $30 plus shipping. It’s a fabulous deal!

    Don’t wait long; I have just a few left. Go here to get yours. *You will need to cut your new designer paper for the cards but my directions make that simple.

    The other kit I created this month is also easy but does require stamped greetings. But there is very little prep & just a little trimming of the card bases to create these beautiful wintery cards:

    These cards could be winter or holiday; it’s your choice when you stamp the greetings.

    This kit originated from a former Paper Pumpkin kit but I jazzed up the cards and added more to create 12 gorgeous cards. This kit includes 12 envelopes and a share of Peppermint gems plus the PDF tutorial.
    I have a few left so grab yours soon. This kit is $29 and you can see it here.

    Today I’m sharing my second card kit to go for November. It is a former paper pumpkin kit called the Nests of Winter; but I jazzed them up a bit plus added more.

    *You will need greetings, ink and a paper trimmer to complete them.
