July 2023 Stamps, Dies, Stencils, & More Release
Simple is beautiful! This stunning release of products is inspired by finding beauty in uncomplicated things. In this month's collection of ensembles, you can enjoy crafting with minimalist designs, such as fuss-free flowers, elegant creatures, and serene boat scenes.
Today I'll be sharing how I go about creating a faux inlaid die-cut card. 
I started by embossing the large die from Fragrant Flowers Die Set into a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ panel of Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock. Once I had this embossed image guide, I then colored the image using Artist Markers.
I used Chamomile and Snapdragon Markers for the flower centers, Dew Drops, Aqualicious, and Teal Cave Markers for the blue flowers, Citrus Burst and Fresh Lemon Markers for the yellow flowers, Pink Diamond, Pinkalicious, and Rubellite Markers for the tulip flowers, Parrot, Olive and Moss for the leaves and stems and Cloudy Night Marker for the background pieces. 
I then cut the same die four times from Classic Crest Solar White Cardstock, with Double-Sided Adhesive on the back. Once these were die cut, I adhered them one on top of the other. I then added this into place over the colored image.
Once this was done, I then decided to cut around the image. NOTE- it would have been a lot easier to cut around the image before the stacked die-cut piece had been placed on it- but we live, and we learn :)
For the background, I used Dotted Waves Debossing Cover Die, and the sentiment is from the Sincere Sentiments Stamp Set.

Lydia, I love this technique and the card you made using it. I’ll definitely be giving it a try. Thanks so much for sharing! I’m also loving this new release!

Is there some secret to accessing Teri Wilson’s video? When I click on the link, get a notification that the video is private.
Hello Janet! Apologies for this. The link is already updated. You can check out Teri’s video now. :)
Oh, my goodness! This is just stunning!
Hi Lydia. I love your card. The Fragrant Flowers die set and the Dotted Waves Debossing Cover Die made this card very beautiful. I like all the colors you used. You are so creative and your card is a great place to start the Hop.
I’m seeing some beautiful new designs!
I love how you changed the look of that die cut by cutting it up. That’s such a great idea to help stretch your supplies. Thanks for sharing!

Gorgeous card! Loved your video. Such a well collection. Thanks from sharing.
This Fragrant Flowers Die Set is really stunning! And you made perfect use of this die, putting up the card beautifully.
I enjoyed all the videos from the video hop. I could not see Teri Wilson; it’s said it was private. I so in the comments that someone else had the same trouble, and she was told it was fixed, but I still cannot see it. Thanks for the videos of all this talented artist.
Wonderful idea for such a beautiful card. Your colors are so nice against the white.Thanks!
This is such a great release! EVERYTHING is awesome!
I really love the look of that row boat! Of course, I love the look of the whole release!
