Fractured or Faux Shutter card and QUICK SU SPECIAL OFFER

Host Code 14/11 - 30/11/2023 MM9PNMFU
 Good afternoon everyone,

I've been trying desperately to find time to use the new Joy of Christmas Suite from Stampin'Up! It's "mehusive" not just BIG! - There are 2 packs of papers, 2 bundles of stamps + die, checked ribbon and embellishments. My head has been spinning with all the ideas and the ability to use my favourite folds with the beautiful rich reds and greens. The speciality DSP has lots of gold and there are papers with musical notes, too, that are echoed by the golden notes in the loose holly, gems and sequins tub of embellishments.

Today, I've been playing with a new-to-me technique that is quite popular at the moment - a fractured card or Faux Shutter technique. This is such an easy card to make and goes together quickly once you have assembled and prepped all the pieces. watch the video to see how I made my cards.

I didn't use any dies to make this card but if you have square dies or punches for shapes with straight sides they would work equally well.
