Easy Faux Shutter/Fractured Technique

Couple of easy cards, no die cutting involved, just need your trimmer/scorer.
Card 1 - Shaded Spruce base 8.5" x 5.5", scored at 4.25". Cut 4 strips of Shaded Spruce 1/4" wide and approximately 5.5" long. I used a piece of DSP from the Joy of Christmas that was cut 4" x 5.25". Do NOT adhere to base yet. Cut a 2" x 2" piece of More Dazzle gold paper and a piece of 1 7/8" x 1 7/8" Basic White. Turn your Basic White piece so it looks like a diamond and stamp sentiment in Real Red. My sentiment was from the Brightest Glow Stamp Set. Glue to More Dazzle gold piece, and then glue that to the DSP, keeping it angled. Recommend using your Silicone Mat here. Starting on the upper right side and at the very edge of your More Dazzle piece, adhere a strip of Shaded Spruce to the end of the DSP. Working clockwise, repeat with the other 3 strips. Trim off excess. Glue to base card and add some gold dots from the Festive Pearls embellishments.
Card 2 - Starry Sky base 8.5" x 5.5", scored at 4.25". Cut 4 strips of Starry Sky 3/8" x 5.5". Cut a piece of More Dazzle in champagne 2" x 2", and a piece of Basic White 1 7/8" x 1 7/8". Again, turn the Basic White so it looks like a diamond shape. Stamp the sentiment from the Sparkling Snowflakes in Starry Sky, stamp some snowflakes in Balmy Blue along the edge. Adhere this piece to the More Dazzle piece. On a piece of Balmy Blue 4" x 5.25", randomly stamp some different sized snowflakes from the Sparkling Snowflakes Stamp Set in Orchid Oasis and Balmy Blue. Take the More Dazzle piece and glue to the center of the Balmy Blue piece, keeping it on an angle. Use your Silicone Mat now. As above, adhere your Starry Sky strips around the edge of your More Dazzle piece and trim off excess. Glue to base card and add some Rhinestones.

Hi! So glad you liked them!

[@7tracey7]

Love them. Simple but effective. Really liked the last colourful one but didn't quite get how you did it because of using different lapers & not one sheet. Would be grateful for explanation. Thank you

[@judyspapercrafts7047]

Hi, thanks for your question! I took a piece of Basic White (although you could use any colour cardstock) that measured 4” x 5.25”. I started by adding a square of cardstock that measured 1.75” x 1.75” to the middle. Then I added the 1/4” black strips starting in the upper right and continued adding clockwise. The DSP was just cut approximate size and added. I didn’t worry too much about the fact that it didn’t fit very well as I trimmed it off the edges when completed. Actually I think I just used the whole 6” x 6” piece of DSP and trimmed it off after it was glued on. I put the glue on the Basic White piece rather than the DSP. I hope that helps. If you need more explanation, let me know. Oh, then I glued that piece of Basic White to the Basic Black card base.

[@7tracey7]

Thank you for reply. I've been watching so many videos my brain is fuddled lol but I'm going to give it a go and am sure it will makes sense 😊

Hi Judy new subscriber here I had been debating joining to just order. When I heard you talk about the sale I thought I should join now. But it is asking me to pick a team leader. Can i choose you? And if so how do I find you? Or is it best to find someone local on their search. Sorry I’m new to this. Thank you
