Happy New Year’s Day and a blessed 2024!
I found a really fun and easy card technique called faux fractured or shutter cards. For more inspiration visit my Pinterest Board here
This is the most simple way to make this card. Use a patterned paper cut at 4” x 5 1/4” (before adhering to the card base) center and adhere the largest square, then align the 1/4” strip against each edge of the square. Now trim the 1/4” strips even with the patterned paper. Now you can adhere it to the card base and layer the sentiments the add a few embellishments .
Now let’s step it up a bit! Let’s use two strips of paper around the center square and then mat the patterned paper on blue cardstock before adhering to the card base.
Okay I found one more way to make this card using scraps instead of a single patterned. This time you start with the largest square adhered to a scrap of cardstock and adhere one or two strips to each side of it. Then add scraps of patterned paper to the corners before trimming each side to finish off the 4” x 5 1/4” mat. I added another scrap of patterned paper to the inside mat.
Now try your hand at one. Don’t limit yourself to a square. Try another shape with flat sides and see what you can make.
