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!

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.

How did I do it? Start out with a piece measuring 5 1/4" X 4" and choose the 3rd & 6th dies from the outside. Perfect layers!

November 27, 2020

Do you normally shop on Black Friday? Online or in the stores? I have a feeling there will be a LOT more online shopping this year! That's my plan anyway.

And if your order is over $75 I'll add a tube of Multipurpose glue too!

Happy Thanksgiving!

November 26, 2020

I hope you can enjoy a very Happy Thanksgiving today! I know many of us cannot be with the family or friends like we're used to. It's so difficult with this pandemic; tough times and even tougher decisions!

I received this cute card from my friend Pat this week. I wanted to share it with you with my seasonal wishes for you and your family.

She used my Million Dollar stamp set; Life is Beautiful seen here. You might think this is for Halloween; but she has a two black cats and I have one so this fit us both!

If you aren't on Facebook you might not know about my stamp set challenge. I found out how many of these stamp sets have been sold so far worldwide and had my FB Live followers guess. What's your guess??

Save

As of two weeks ago Stampin' Up! has sold over 16,000 sets! That's 176% over their predicted amount! Whoop! I'm thrilled with how you all like it!
