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.

    It's a vertical book binding card fold.  I love how this fold allows you to show off so much fun products like the DSP and the embossing folder. Her turtle & balloon are fussy cut from the Turtle-y Cute DSP.

    Sharon made this super fun card for our May Team swap. She used all 5 new In Colors!

    May Sharon in color Save

    The circle die-cuts are from the Spotlight on Nature dies seen here.  These dies are a 'must have' in my opinion.  I love how she used them as the focal point of her card.  She was inspired by a purchased card she received and is using this card to introduce the new in colors to her customers.  She used the Plaster Painting embossing folder on the White layer. 

    She added even more dies to the inside!

    Next is a pretty card made by Marla. She chose to feature the Beautiful Gallery suite seen here.  

    May Marla Beautiful Motifs Save

    She die-cut the pretty leaves with the Beautiful Motifs dies seen here. These dies are pretty special as some of them only cut out partially which allows for some neat effects. 

    Then she cut a frame from the Gallery Blooms dies seen here.  Once she added the Secret Sea frame over the Cloud Cover die-cut she pulled a few of the leaves to the front, over the frame edge.  Genius!  

    The designer papers are from the Beautiful Gallery 6 X 6" DSP stack seen here.  And even her gems are from this suite! 

    Here's the inside view.

    Measurements:
