Tips, Tutorials, & Techniques - Inlaid Die Cutting

Creating flat yet intricate cards is desirable, especially when you want to mail your little masterpieces. Today we're going to look at how to achieve superb Inlaid Die Cutting! 

Today's video will give you a closer look at inlaid die cutting. Stephanie gives you a step-by-step process for how to inlay like a pro. Watch the video below or click here (MFTv - Creating a Die Cut Inlay Background) to watch it on YouTube. Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel so that you don't miss a single tutorial!


What a nifty way to play with our vast array of Die-namics, right? The possibilities are endless!

Let's take a look at a few examples of some projects that feature inlaid die cutting. 

Our Centerpieces Die-namics are perfect for inlaying. Julie die cut the Happy Birthday Centerpieces Die-namics from a white card stock panel and then die cut it again several times with various colors of card stocks. With this technique, you can choose any color combination your heart desires!

Jody went inlay crazy on this design! First, she die cut the End of the Rainbow Die-namics in a spectrum of color, and then she die cut the word fabulous from the completed rainbow and layered it into the rainbow. Very fun!

Younsun stamped a gorgeous background with the Flashy Florals stamp set and then inlaid her sentiment using the Happy Birthday to You Die-namics. SO lovely! Leaving the centers of the letters to  allow the kraft card stock to peek through is a great way to make inlaid die cutting legible.

    Happy to see flat, yet intricate cards, showcased today! While I like fancy layered cards as much as the next person, I always need flat cards as many of them are mailed. Great ideas.

    I love the inlay technique, since I mail most of my cards. I love the dimensional look without the weight
