A fault line card made using the Painted Lavender stamp set and dies with the Perennial Lavender designer series paper (dsp) from Stampin' Up!

Fault Line Card – Technique Tuesday Blog Hop

Posted on July 1, 2025July 1, 2025 by Mo Rootes

Hello and welcome to the Technique Tuesday Blog Hop where we are sharing projects featuring tearing techniques. I have seen lots of ‘fault line’ cards and thought I would give it a try using the Perennial Lavender dsp.

Colours used in this card are:

To recreate the fault line card, you will need:

Gorgeous Grape card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Shaded Spruce card – 5½” by 3¾”
Basic White card – 4” by 3⅝”
Perennial Lavender dsp – 4” by 3⅝” x 2 – one patterned and the other plainer
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” – for the inside
Scrap Basic White and Shaded Spruce card

I began by taking the plainer piece of designer series paper (dsp) and tore it at an angle from side to side. The larger of the 2 pieces was the torn again from side to side. I wanted the white core of the patterned paper to show on both pieces hence having to tear it twice. These pieces were then glued to the top and bottom of the patterned piece dsp leaving a wide strip of the pattern visible. The overhanging dsp was then trimmed off.

This step was repeated with the 4” by 3⅝” panel of Basic White card. This time I lined up the dsp on my Grid Paper and the torn panels adhered to the top and bottom until the whole piece measured 5⅜”.
