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.

  • See them all! Two different versions of this fun fold card with gift card option

    Monday night we made these neat fun fold cards on FB Live. If you're not following me on Facebook you can do so here.  I do 6 Facebook lives a month!  

    4 square Side flap card FB Live Save

    The top two cards feature the Tidings & Trimmings bundle & the Tidings of Christmas 6 X 6" DSP. Both are in a suite seen in the annual catalog on pages 88-89 or here. 

    The bottom two cards feature the new Eden's Garden stamp set & the Ever Eden specialty designer paper.  See them both here. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4" plus 1" X 4" strip for embossed layer. *To cut the front flap, cut at the 4 1/4" point to the score line. 
    • Cherry Cobbler card stock 4" square, plus 3/4" X 5" strip
    • DSP 1 7/8" squares X 4 (can be 1 3/4" to leave a space between like the card on the lower left)
    • White inside layer 3 1/2" square

    Do you see the difference in the two cards below?  Note the space between the designer paper squares on the left card. The DSP squares on the left are 1 3/4" in size.  The DSP on the right card are 1 7/8" in size so they have no space in between. 

    *If you love this stamp set & Designer Paper you should get it this month.  I'm giving away a free cards kit with online orders this month plus a PDF tutorial with 22 projects! See details below.

    The two hats are made with our Layering Circle dies and Whimsy & Wonder specialty DSP. I used the largest scalloped die and the largest smooth die in the set.  To get the sides of the greeting strips I used the round end of a punch. *tip shared in the video here.  They are 1/2" and 3/4" in width. 

    Below is the template for the box; please watch the video below to see how it's put together.

  • Lots of Whimsical Trees card ideas; with video!

    I played with the Whimsical Trees bundle on last week's FB Live.  You can watch the video here. 

    The Whimsy & Wonder specialty paper coordinates with it too.  And it's back in stock too!

    I kept to the colors in the Whimsy & Wonder DSP for my card projects.  Mostly Mossy Meadow, Mint Macaron & Polished Pink. I made the lower left card ahead of time and the right  during the Live video.  Look at the detail on these die-cuts!  So many choices! 

    Whimsical tress fb Save

    Every tree and accent was die-cut using the Whimsy & Wonder DSP, Silver foil paper & Mint Macaron CS. The tag is from the Tags & More set of dies seen here.  The embossing folder is called Wintry 3D and it comes in a pair seen here.

    I wanted to include some silver embossing for the ornaments card and used an entire panel of the pretty Specialty Paper on the card front. I pulled in Mint Macaron & Polished Pink from the DSP and coloring to coordinate.  That's my favorite thing about Stampin' Up! – our color coordination.  No more shopping for things that match!

    This card below is probably my favorite of the three.  I die-cut a white tree from my card front (4 3/4" X 3 1/2") and sponged it with Polished Pink ink.  Then I added a piece of designer paper behind the window and offset the sponged tree. 

    What a neat but quick Christmas card this would be!

    The 2021-23 In Color gems add a bit of bling to the popped up tree.   The greeting is from the Frosted Gingerbread stamp set.
