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.

Beautiful Vine Design with Oh So Ombre with video!

January 14, 2021

What do you think of the Oh So Ombre designer paper? Have you seen it yet? If not look here.

Save

It's a 6 X 6" pack of 48 sheets of Designer Series Paper. There are 2 designs and 4 colors in this pretty pack and it's FREE with any $50 order during Sale-a-Bration!

I created this card with it for a Flowerbug's swap a few weeks ago. The first card features the Bermuda Bay color in the pack.

Of course I chose to use all new products! The pretty stitched outline is from the Stitched with Whimsy dies seen here. I love that they don't actually cut; they just stitch a pretty outline. You can really notice the Ombre since I switched the die when I inserted it back in the window. Watch how in the video.

The intricate die is from the Flowering Vines die. It's part of the bundle with the Vine Design stamp set which is where the greeting images are from. See them here.

Happy Thoughts Fun Fold cards kit to go; opt in by the 18th!

January 12, 2021

Lately I've been offering two different pre-cut card kits each month. I'm finding so many great products to feature; I cannot help it! And I like offering a variety of options for my customers.

Did you notice the Happy Thoughts stamp set in the new Spring catalog? It's filled with beautiful greetings; something many of us cannot get enough of. So I created a group of 8 fun fold cards around this set. Look!

I also decided to use the Happy Blooms designer paper; I love the colors & patterns so much. This paper is free with any $50 online order from now through February 28th. See it here.

Here are two unique cards in this kit. Remember you get two of each in the kit; one to keep for ideas and one to send.
