Please check out the details for this month's technique and link to video on the blog, along with more card samples from Christine, Pat, & Susan.
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.

I love all these versions of the inlaid technique Loll, and the first two watercolour backgrounds are so bright and beautiful with the added twist on the second of stencil monoprinting which looks great with the contrasting darker green poppies, and the tree frame cut out on the firar works brilliantly with the cling wrap used to add that wonderful pattern. The third has lots of impact with this pretty inlaid bauble over the lovely embossed aperture background. The effect of the leaves on the last is very dramatic with the alcohol ink background which makes a super contrast with the white leaves, and leaving some of them unstuck with the white background leaf aperture shape showing beneath does work well. x
These are all wonderful. I really liked the Green Poppy card.
This is such a clever use of dies and paper! I like it so much I'll try doing it myself. Thanks for sharing your talents with us. Nance
Love all three of your cards Loll, especially that lovely ornament on the 3rd card. A great technique which you used masterfully. TFS
Loll, you really went to town with this technique, and I love them all -especially that gorgeous grove of trees at the top! I actually thought of you and your delightful group today and did a monoprint from a stencil! I will always be grateful to you for teaching me that...
=]
WOW! Four fantastic cards done with inlaid die cuts, Lolly! I love the sky background with the trees! Your stencil monoprint make a beautiful background for the silhouetted poppies! The ornament is beautiful and I'll be CASEing this one. Finally your leaves are beautiful against the Yupo/alcohol ink background! Love the dimension!
they are all so beautiful Loll, I especially love your Christmas bauble.
This was a great way to use up some of those background in our stash 😁
WOW...all four of these cards are absolutely gorgeous Loll! I love, LOVE all the backgrounds and of course the inlaid designs...you really nailed this technique my friend!! Hugs. :0)
So many beautiful and different examples of the inlaid die cuts Loll! My favs are the 1st white trees with inked green background and that lovely ornament! Julia xx
SO many inlaid cards, they're all just as beautiful as the one before!
Gorgeous inlays, Loll - especially love your sky on card one and the ornament but all are fabulous!!
Four fab inlaid cards Loll. I know poppies aren't green but it works! :)
These are all so gorgeous, Loll! I love the different background coloring techniques you used too. Each card is just stunning!
I love the variety her, Loll! Each one is pretty but I think that fancy poinsettia ornament might be my favorite!
Every single card has wonderful dies that lend itself to the technique, Loll, although the first and last could just be placed over the background like you said. Now the ornament is a different story. That is one fiddly bits die but now you have the pieces for two more ornaments. LOL I may have to pull mine out when I get home.
This is such a lovely technique, makes for stunning cards.
Amazing result on all of them Loll. x
Oh, yes! I love the inlay! It's a whole other look with dies and really so beautiful! Your cards are ALL amazing! Beautiful backgrounds on each and, ohhh, that ornament with the embossed background. Lovelovelove!
I love all of them - such great examples of different types of inlaid die-cutting, three great kinds of background media, and very different layouts. My favourite is the ornament - I just love the shine from the foil card and the way you have the ornament set in an aperture over an embossed background - there is just so much interest in that card!
Wow, what a stunning selection! Jo x
I love this technique, and you have showcased it beautifully. All of your cards are stunning ..... love the trees! xx
All your card look amazing Loll and such a fun technique! You have inspired me to try this again as it's been a long time xx
Just popped by Loll and I'm super inspired by all your gorgeous take on the inlaid die technique - giving me more ways to think on my dies.. have a lovely weekend, hugs Robyn
