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.

  • NEW Soft Seedlings set ideas


    I joined a few online swaps and decided to use the Soft Seedlings set (seen here) as I wasn't quite ready to play with Christmas yet.  I love the distinktive quality of the main image and the greetings are some I use often. *Distinktive is a process Stampin' Up! developed for their images that gives multiple hues of color on a stamp. 

    For my colors I chose to use Cherry Cobbler, Soft Succulent and a bit of Evening Evergreen with Vanilla. 

    Details:

    • I stamped the background in Soft Succulent ink on the Vanilla CS and sponged the edges.  
    • The strip of Soft Succulent CS is embossed with the new Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder. 
    • I stamped the leaf images in Soft Succulent ink and sponged ink directly on the stamp.  I added a bit of Cherry Cobbler on one side and Evergreen on the other. Then huffed and stamped on a scrap of Vanilla CS.  It's fussy cut and added to the card with a Vanilla twine bow.  
    • The greeting is from the stamp set and die-cut with a die from the Potted Succulents dies. 

    Measurements:

    • Cherry Cobbler card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
    • Vanilla 4 5/8" X 2 3/4"
    • Soft Succulent 1 1/2" X 4 1/4"

  • 2 cards with the NEW Wonderful World bundle; Free during Sale-a-bration


    I always join a few online swaps so I get a wonderful variety of cards back to share with my customers.  Today I'm sharing two that I created using the new Wonderful World bundle from our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  

    Sale-a-bration is everyone's favorite time to order from Stampin' Up!  Who doesn't like getting amazing products free?!  See it all here. 

    This first card features the pretty floral stamp images and just a bit of the double-sided designer paper too. 

    My colors include Rich Razzleberry with a bit of Garden Green.  I inked the flower using markers and stamped once on the main card front. Then I inked it up again in Rich Razzleberry ink and stamped on scraps of White CS so I could fussy cut just the flower to pop it up on the card.  

    That pretty detailed background die-cut is a die called Split Card Textures.  It's currently unavailable as they are out of stock.  It should be back sometime this week according to Stampin' Up!  See it here. 

    The greeting stamp is from the new Very Best Occasions stamp set in the Holiday catalog.  See it here.  The die-cut for the greeting is from the All That dies seen here.  

    Here's a picture of the Wonderful World bundle you can receive free with any $100 Stampin' Up! order. Click on it to see it online.

    This next card uses this same stamp set but a different image.  The colors are Rich Razzleberry with Mossy Meadow. 

    Again I inked the image with two markers; Rich Razzleberry & Mossy Meadow.  Be sure to huff on the colored stamp before stamping it onto your card stock. 

    Details:

    • The die-cut is from the Scalloped Contour dies. The Mossy Meadow card stock on the bottom is textured with the new Leaf Fall 3D embossing folder.  So pretty!  
    • The greetings are from the new Very Best Occasions stamp set with the Double Oval punch.  Love how easy this punch is to use!  

    Remember that you can earn this pretty bundle free with a $100 order.  Sale-a-Bration is the best time of year to get free products!  You'll also receive my free class in the mail with any $55 minimum order.  8see below
