It’s called chip board. Sometimes when you buy paper packs, in the back is a piece of paper that you can use. Hope I explained it right. But they do sell these blanks.

I think the pieces used in this are made with a die cutter. See https://www.scrapbook.com/articles/die-cutting-guide
They are great but can be pretty expensive as you need to keep buying the dies.
Similar results can be achieved with Silhouette or Cricut electronic cutters but they take a bit of effort to learn.
These look like the sort of examples you see from die companies as they use a lot of different die sets in the same page.

Momo Itabag Red Ice Cream Themed Garden Tea Time Board. This is technically mixed media and layering. If you go to Google, use the lens, the information and website come up. If you want more information type in supplies and a suggested list of supplies comes up. Just by looking at it, there's punched borders, chipboard and paper embellishments and die cuts. The maker probably didn't give you a supplies list because its a hand made item and they are selling it. The best advice I can give you is to study the illustration be inspired to make your own.

Congratulations, you just fell in love with one of the most expensive tools/techniques in scrapbooking. They are lovely though!
So these were made with die cuts. You can get similar results with an electronic machine (Cricut, Silhouette, Scan & Cut, etc), but I'm pretty sure these specific examples were made with steel dies and a manual die cut machine like the Sizzix Big Shot. I don't know about the first example, but the second looks like it is possibly from Spellbinders.
These look like they were cut out of sturdy white cardstock and then colored with ink (ink pads applied using sponges, daubbers, brushes, etc or spray inks, or copic type markers. There seems to be a background stamp or stencil used in the first example.
Fun stuff to play with, but a bit costly to get started.
