Hello Irresistible Fractured Card #2

 I still had a couple of die cut pieces from the Hello Irresistible DSP on my table, so I decided to make another Fractured Card.  I just LOVE these!  This one uses a die cut stitched square that I added more off center than centered, which left me room for a nice sentiment. I also used the lighter colors in the DSP, which makes such a different look! Enjoy!


Measurements:  

  • Soft Sea Foam: 1/2 sheet, 4 strips @ 1/4" x 5"
  • Hello Irresistible: 4" x 5 1/4" & 1/2" x 4", one, large die cut coral flower, 2 die cut leaves
  • Basic White: 2 1/4" square, 1 1/2" x 2" (sentiment), 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)
To Make This Card:

  • Die cut 2" Stitched Square from the Stitched Shapes Dies.
  • Attach this square where desired to the DSP, where desired. Mine is a little higher. DO NOT ADHERE TO FRONT OF CARD, YET.
  • Next, take one 1/4" Soft Sea Foam strip and lay from corner of square, along the cut edge of the square, and off the DSP layer. 
  • Then, lay the next strip, butting the end to the previously laid strip, and laying this one also along cut edge and off the DSP.  Repeat until all 4 strips are done.
  • Next, trim off the strips so that they are even with the DSP.
  • NOW, adhere the DSP layer to the folded Soft Sea Foam card.
  • Decide what your focal point is going to be.  I used a coral flower, popped up with Dimensionals, then tucked under the 2 leaves cut from the Lost Lagoon DSP.
  • Lastly, adhere the White piece inside. I like to add a strip of coordinating DSP to the inside.
  • Stamp sentiment in Soft Sea Foam ink and die cut with new, Nested Essentials Dies. Attach to card, as shown, with Dimensionals.

Hello Irresistible Fractured Card

I finally jumped on the "fractured" band wagon!  This are just so awesome to make.  I have so many ideas rolling around in my head! There are MANY was to do this, but I found this one to be my favorite! (I used Lynn Dunn's version). You will need a square "focal point" from which to place the strips.  Decide on the size based on YOUR focal point. For this one, I used one of the flowers cut directly from the DSP. (Remember these are in our Online Store!).

Measurements:  

  • Pretty Peacock (ret): 1/2 sheet, 4 strips @ 1/4" x 4"
  • Hello Irresistible: 4" x 5 1/4" & 1/2" x 4"  (Pretty Peacock print); one, large die cut yellow flower, 2 die cut leaves
  • Basic White: 2 1/4" square, 4" x 5 1/4" (inside)
To Make This Card:

  • Center White square (or whatever focal point you are using) to the DSP. DO NOT ADHERE TO FRONT OF CARD, YET.
  • Next, take one 1/4" Pretty Peacock strip and lay from corner of square, along the cut edge of the square, and off the DSP layer. 
  • Then, lay the next strip, butting the end to the previously laid strip, and laying this one also along cut edge and off the DSP.  Repeat until all 4 layers are done.
  • Next, trim off the strips so that they are even with the DSP.
  • NOW, adhere the DSP layer to the folded Pretty Peacock card.
  • Decide what your focal point is going to be.  I used a yellow flower, popped up with Dimensionals, then tucked under the 2 leaves cut from the Lost Lagoon DSP.
  • Lastly, adhere the White piece inside. I like to add a strip of coordinating DSP to the inside.
  • I finished with scattered Loose Frosted Dots.

Elegant Borders Dies

Here's another card that we made at our Senior Care facility. I try to create cards that can be used for multiple occasions.  They get to choose what they stamp on the outside...and inside to customize it for their needs.  Most of them already have plans for their cards when they leave class!!  I love it!  This one combines the gorgeous Elegant Borders Dies with the Hello Irresistable DSP - both in the Online Store. Add a little ribbon and a little bling, and Voila you have a quick card!  They loved it!


Measurements:  

  • Soft Sea Foam: 1/2 sheet
  • Basic White: 2 1/2" square
  • Hello Irresistible DSP (N) (OE): 3" x 5 1/2"
  • By the Bay DSP (ret): 1 1/2" x 5 1/2"
To Make This Card:
  • Die cut the By the Bay DSP piece through the Border die. (any pretty Navy DSP would work. This has a little pearlized thread running through it.)
  • Attach to folded Soft Sea Foam card base, with the bottom edge almost even with the cut edge, and side edges going clear to the sides!
  • Next, wrap 6 1/2" piece of Balmy Blue varigated ribbon around DSP, attach to card front OVER the Navy strip, with 1/8" border at the top!
  • Add Balmy Blue varigated bow.
  • Die cut rippled circle from the All That Dies. 
  • Stamp sentiment of your choice in Night of Navy ink.  Attach to card with Dimensionals.
  • Finish with Navy Rhinestones.

Embossed Hello Irresistible DSP

I saw a version of this card using the "beaded border" die from the Irresistible Blooms dies and embossed DSP using one of the new Basic 3D Embossing Folders. I just love the soft colors of this card.  These flowers are stamped, rather than die cut from the DSP.  I also used the other option for the leaves.  I still used the Very Best Trio Punch for the tag, as well as the Loose Frosted Dots - which, unfortunately, are on back order.

Measurements:  

  • Soft Sea Foam: 1/2 sheet, 1 1/2" x 5 1/2" (border),1 3/4" x 2 1/4" (tag)
  • Basic White: 1 1/2" x 2 1/4", scraps (stamped flowers, die cut leaves)
  • Hello IrresistIble DSP (N): 4" x 5 1/4" (Soft Sea Foam Splatter)
  • Adhesive Sheet: 1 1/2" x 5 1/2" (opt)
To Make This Card:

  • Run DSP through an embossing folder. I used the "cross-hatch" one from the new, Basic 3D Embossing Folder trio.
  • Adhere this piece to folded Soft Sea Foam card.
  • Die cut "beaded border" from Irresistible Blooms Dies from strip of Soft Seafoam.  If desired, attach and piece of adhesive sheet first, to aid in adhering to card.
  • Attach this piece to card front.
  • Stamp 2 larger flowers in Petal Pink ink onto scrap of White. Set aside for now.
  • Die cut 3 "detailed leaves" from Irresistible Blooms dies.  Arrange these leaves, along with the flowers onto the front of card.
  • Stamp sentiment in Soft Seafoam onto "tag" piece. Punch 4 corners.
  • Mount onto Soft Seafoam layer that also has all 4 corners punched.  Attach this "tag" to front of card with Dimensionals.
  • Finish with scattered Loose Frosted Gems, or any jewel/gem that you might have.
  • Adhere the White and Pastel Grid DSP piece to folded Lost Lagoon card.
  • Attach adhesive sheet to White square. Die cut "beaded circle". Cut "beads" away from outside edge leaving loose circle.
  • Peel off backing from adhesive sheet and adhere, carefully, to card front.
  • Die cut 2 large and 2 small flowers from yellowish sheet of flowers. Also cut 2 3-leaf and 1 2-leaf from sheet of leaves. Set aside for the moment.
  • Stamp sentiment in Petal Pink onto Label piece.  Punch all 4 corners with the Very Best Trio Punch.
  • Now, arrange flowers, leaves, and lable onto card over beaded circle.
  • Finish by attaching Loose Frosted Dots to card, as shown.
