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!

HELLO, IRRESISTIBLE 6" X 6" (15.2 X 15.2 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER

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.

Fresh In colors with new Shimmer Vellum flowers

May 11, 2021

I'm not sure if I'll ever get tired of playing with the new 2021-23 In colors. They are fresh and spring-like; almost fruity.

For today's card I added four 1 1/4" X 4" strips of the new 6 X 6" In Color designer paper to a standard 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" white card base. It had prominent placement on my In Color display last week at my New Catalog Launch party.

I cut out a die-cut label from the Scalloped Contours dies and stamped my greeting (from the Sweet Ice Cream set) using Soft Succulent ink.

The flowers are from the soon to retire (June 2021) Perennial dies. The colored flowers are cut from the new Shimmer Vellum; available here in all 5 of our In Colors! So pretty!!

Save

I colored the pearls on the flowers with the In Color Blends markers. Having these coordinating Blends markers means I can color any gem I want to match! Two of these Blends are already on back-order! They are HOT items!

See all of our new 2021-23 In Color products here.

Circle Celebration Easy 8 Card Wonder Kit to Go!

May 10, 2021
As you know I love creating One Sheet Wonders. I have created lots of them in the years I've been a demonstrator. I create the cards and my husband makes the templates. You can see them all here in my Shop.

For these cards I used my Easy 8 Card Wonder template and the Circle Celebration stamp set. You can see the stamp set here.

Save

The colors are Poppy Parade, Night of Navy, Bermuda Bay and Daffodil Delight. I wanted them to be bright and happy celebratory cards. I think I succeeded!

For the greetings I used the stamp sets Many Mates & Itty Bitty Birthdays but you can easily substitute what you own.

Here's a look at how I made the main 'wonder' piece. I used slightly different colors on this sheet, but it gives you the idea.

Save

I stamped all over a sheet of 8 1/2" X 11" White card stock; the printed template is on the reverse side. After stamping I flip it over and cut on the printed lines. Each piece is numbered so I know which one goes with which card in the tutorial. The PDF tutorial includes measurements for other pieces needed.

You can purchase the PDF tutorial here.

There is also a kit to go option for $28. It includes the following:
- Circle Celebration photopolymer stamp set
- 8 pre-cut cards including layers, punched and die-cut pieces
- The printed 8 1/2" X 11" White card stock
- The complete PDF sent via email
*You will need the inks in the colors stated above (or similar colors), a paper trimmer and adhesive. The kit does not include stamped images, gems or ribbon.

If you want the pre-cut kit to go contact me at lagreff60@gmail.com. I cannot give a link to purchase here due to SU regulations.

I have two kits to go this month; see the other one here. Opt in for both and save on shipping!
