birthday card RAK made with a variety of techniques Today I was delighted to receive a surprise birthday card RAK (Random Act of Kindness) from Ardelle McFarland, a member of my online stamping group, Canadian Stamp Talk.

I’m not entirely sure how this card was made, so I’ll give my best guess.

The pink background is definitely embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder, possibly the Diamond Plate one.

The word “hello” I am almost certain is cut with the Cricut Expression Personal Electronic Cutting Machine.

From now on, it gets a little tricky. I’m not sure how this talented lady created the flower and leaf. Her  workmanship is so good that I can’t tell whether this is a stamped, cut and layered shape or whether its a die cut made with any number of possible dies and die cutting tools.

The white component on the flower is dimensional and soft. I saw this product in a craft store recently, but do not recall the name. I believe it is Fun Flock,  but that’s a guess.

I love this card and receiving it in the mail was a pleasant surprise.  Thanks to the sender. I have posted her name with permission.
