Wow! This Zany Zoo Fracture Card with the singing turtle is stunning! This card looks so difficult but it actually is pretty easy! I love the embossing on the Granny Apple Green cardstock; gives it some depth!
Using all Stampin’ Up! products to create this card, I love how they all coordinate so well together. The singing turtle is die cut with the Zany Zoo dies from the Zoo Crew DSP which coordinates nicely with both the stamp set and the dies. Stay tuned for directions on how to make this card.

Product List
Stampin’ Up! has the best products. I love how they all color coordinate, the stamp sets match the dies and sometimes as in this case, the Designer Series Paper coordinates so well you can die cut the images right from the paper. You can use a square, a rectangle, hexagon or even an octagon to create a Fracture card.
This card was fun to make and I’m sure you would enjoy making it too! I’d love to have you try it and see what you think; easy? or hard? Thanks for stopping by today!
