This faux shutter / fractured card design is easy to create!
Right now, the faux shutter / fractured card design seems to be everywhere – or at least variations of it. It’s a super fun and easy way to create an interesting pattern – so here’s another take on it. If you’d like the full written instructions, subscribe to the YamStamps Newsletter (click on the link or use the box at the top of the YamStamps Site) – the tutorial for this design is included in the multiproject September version which is being sent out on Tuesday, 5 September (and a copy goes to all new September subscribers as well!).
For this version of the card, I embossed the Basic White Cardstock with the Fern 3D Embossing Folder. I think random pattern folders like the Fern EF are great for this card design because each section ends up looking different.
The centre square is cut from the Stylish Shapes Dies, and then the strips are added around the outside of the square, trimming them flush with the edges of the embossed cardstock.
The sentiment is from Timeless Arrangements, and stamped in Boho Blue ink to match the cardstock. Soft Sea Foam complements the colour scheme I think….and I am partial to blues and greens anyway!
I wanted to share this faux shutter / fractured card before we all get totally distracted by the September-December 2023 Mini Catalogue, which goes live on Wednesday 6 September. So many things coming up this week – a long weekend (YAY) followed for many by Back to Work / Back to School (probably not as big of a yay), and then the Mini Catalogue Launch (YAY), then Thursday (meh) and Friday (YAY).
I hope that your upcoming week is full of more Yays than not! Good luck with all the “back – to’s” coming up. Be sure to check back here at the YamStamps blog on Wednesday for links to the digital version of the Mini Catalogue and more information on specials that are happening – if you like patterned paper, you’ll love the special releases that are available as of Wednesday as well!
