Please check out the details for Inlaid Die-cutting technique and link to videos on the blog ...
The first three cards follow the basic inlaid die-cutting technique, following this video.
The card above is a CAS(clean and simple) design, using a retired die (Evergreen Window - Memory Box). It cuts out the background, leaving the trees intact as part of the card front. I cut it a second time from a background, Cling Wrap Technique using Brushos. I inlaid the background I love the icy look of this winter sky. :) A simple sentiment (Shine Upon You - Penny Black), stamped first in Mowed Lawn, then Salty Ocean ... finishes the card
Below is another example of basic inlaid die-cutting, using another wonderful background (Stencil Monoprint). I'm happy how it turned out. I know ... poppies aren't green. :)
To me, this design said sympathy card. The background is a stencil monoprint I did ages ago with a flourish stencil and some shades of green powdered inks. I die-cut the poppies from the stencil monoprint, and from white cards stock. I sponged the second die-cut with Rustic Wilderness distress ink and then inlaid it into the aperture of poppies on the stenciled monoprint. Added my sentiment at the bottom and popped up the panel onto my card front.
Third card using the basic inlaid die-cutting technique ...
This uses an older poinsettia ornament, which I cut three times from foil card (gold, red, green). The foil adds a lovely shine to the ornament. I added a piece of double-sided adhesive sheet to a white card panel before die-cutting the background ornament. Then I simply removed the cover and had a sticky back to adhere the design pieces were inlaid on top. I finished the card with gold cording to hang the ornament inside the rectangle aperture, embossed the background with snowflakes, and added a simple sentiment banner.
Sending this card to Rudolph Days September Challenge.

I followed this video to make the above card. This is a different take on inlaid die-cutting as you end up with dimension. To me, I think it would be easier to just add the die-cut on top of the background for the added dimension ...
I used the Fresh Foliage die (Memory Box - retired) that I have had for over ten years. I LOVE this beautiful leaf die and have used it over and over again. :) I die-cut the leaf from a piece of Alcohol Ink / Yupo that was in my stash. It's done in green, turquoise, and blue alcohol inks. So pretty. Also die-cut from white card stock and used the white die-cut to inlay the design, tacking the stem only and having the leaves free-flowing for adding dimension.
