I love how simple it is to make this style of card, but it looks like it takes alot of effort! I think adding flowers around the sentiment on one of the sides would also be a nice embellishment. Thanks for the most perfect tutorial! 🩷 Suzy

[@dawnchamberlain3766]

Wow, Connie! I made a fractured card about a month ago but it was so much more work. I LOVE your simplified version. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful creativity 😊

[@cottage5038]

Love the gold and vanilla card. So pretty! I sure needed that tip for removing glue from foil. It happens to me all the time.

[@simplysimplestamping]

Glad it was helpful!

[@sbhart33]

Inspired for sure. These are beautiful cards. My son's 25th anniversary is coming up and I was thinking through what to make. This is PERFECT! Thank you Connie for your wonderful video's that inspire and teach us how to make beautiful cards. Because of the time you give and the creativity you teach I am a better card maker. THANK YOU!

[@simplysimplestamping]

That is so nice of you to say and you really made my day with your sweet words.

Hi Connie. Watching replay from British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦. Love these tips on the Fractured card. You’ve shared the best tips I’ve seen on this technique. Thanks very much.

[@simplysimplestamping]

You are so welcome!

[@Pearlsmith23]

Watching replay cause I was working. Love the easy way you did the fracture card and the paper is on my wish list. Both cards are beautiful!!!!!

[@simplysimplestamping]

Thanks so much!

[@donnaroberts9124]

Thank you for a great video and tutorial! I have been admiring this type of card design! Now I can give this a try.

[@simplysimplestamping]

You are so welcome!

Valentine's Day was our 53rd wedding anniversary!

[@simplysimplestamping]

Happy Anniversary!

[@debchestnut1820]

👋🏾 thanks for such a super easy way to create the fracture card. I was looking for a spring card to send to my niece and this is perfect! I used white baker's twine and colored it w/lemon lolly blend bc I don't have the LL twine. Just move the twine and glide the blend along it...perfect!

[@simplysimplestamping]

That sounds beautiful.

[@lindathrogmorton1427]

Love, love, love the cards and thank you for the free download! Just another way to remove glue from foiled cardstock. I've used Q-tips, dampened, but I always seem to hit the cardstock, which can get wet. I've been using the smooth side of a swiffer cloth for several years. I just rub the foiled cardstock, until all fingerprints and glue are gone. Try it, I think you'll like it :)

[@lesliebencivenga7838]

Very nice! I used this design idea (another demonstrator called it a faux shutter design) for hubby’s Valentine card. I didn’t cut extra pieces of DSP to put around the focal point diamond, I just adhered the focal point diamond and strips all to a nice piece of DSP then onto the card base. I used a popped up diecut in the diamond with a sentiment glued on below. He was impressed. 😊 I’ll keep your PDF guide for future reference!

[@simplysimplestamping]

The reason I cut it the way I did and used the scoring lines was because I wanted to be precise with the 6" x 6" dsp. I am glad your hubby liked it.

[@pollyriglemon7987]

Thanks for talking about your 4-legged children. I lost both of my dogs, 2 days apart last month. It's been really hard. 😢

[@simplysimplestamping]

Sorry to hear that, I am so happy that our little community supports one another.

[@lisasilber2749]

OK, I think I answered my own question, because I was like why do you have to score but it’s a guideline for the square/diamond.

[@simplysimplestamping]

Yep, exactly. It makes it so nice to have everything line up.

[@judythibeault127]

Judy from NH, near Lake Winnipesaukee in the Alton Bay of the lake. Enjoy your day!

[@simplysimplestamping]

Thank you! You too!

[@lindamathes5517]

I know its too late for the live show, but I use Q tips with a drop of alcohol to get glue off glossy paper. Its easier for my stiff hands and I have more control.

[@simplysimplestamping]

That is a great tip. Thank you for sharing.

[@janiemurphy4085]

😅

[@Craftygirl50]

I agree these are easy fracture cards.I love them. What days do you go live on You Tube?

[@simplysimplestamping]

I do Live on Thursday mornings. 9MT

[@violetolson6512]

The example looks like it is matted with gold and black paper behind the diamond. Is it? My favorite card

[@simplysimplestamping]

I see that you found your answer. Thank you so much for watching.

[@scrapperd1235]

Connie, these are absolutely beautiful! I have seen fractured cards for a while now, and couldn’t have cared less about them. Just stopped the video, and found something to watch. Didn’t like any of them enough to even watch. Then today, I saw yours. And I am loving them. I now want to make them. Can’t wait to make the second one with the rose gold cardstock that I have left over from making the invitations for my son’s wedding. And I hope I already have the dsp from the first one. Just beautiful! Great job converting me!

[@simplysimplestamping]

I am so glad you are going to make one.

[@leattaleake8756]

I like how you simplified it but it seems like a awful lot of wasted paper. Is there any way that we can cut down that paper so we don’t waste so much? I like the pretty striped one that’s my favourite piece of paper in that pack.

[@violetolson6512]

Lol, I should have waited to see the whole video. Oh da

[@simplysimplestamping]

Too funny!

[@mnpepsi5594]

I have a lot of paper

[@elizabethdodsdivers1922]

Connie, being legally blonde drives me crazy, at times. I am watching your video just now for Fractured Cards, you say there is a Blue Button on every blog that says "Grab Your Free Download here." Please, where do I find the Blue Button. Hi Connie, if you click on enough buttons, you find something and I found these Fractured Cards, almost as fractured as my mind at the moment. Please tell me there is an easier way to find the free downloads. Thanks,E"

[@simplysimplestamping]

I honestly don't know how to make it easier. The button is right below the blog post in my website featuring the card.
