Happy Birthday - stacked die cuts

Hi stampers! 
I have been moving all my SU! creation to this blog, so it's still kind of under construction. I am trying to transfer as much as possible of my Stampin' Up! creations here. 
Anyway....it's been few busy days with the long weekend and work and kids. But busy is good ;) right? On Monday I ran a half marathon. I fought the good (mind) fight, and I finished the race, and I felt the pain afterwards. It was a good pain though. I thought this was going to be my last half marathon, but I want to do it again. You know, running is addicting, like stamping and creating and does something to the brain that leaves you less stressed and more calm. 
Ok, I bored you enough with running talk ;) 

As I am working my way to transfer my Stampin' Up! creations to this blog, I made a card using the sneak peek items. I just LOVE this large Happy Birthday die! 
I cut 4 die cuts from white card stock and adhered them together, in order to get thicker die cut. Next I dabbed Versamark all over it and poured gold embossing powder and heat set it using my heat tool. Next I die cut each layer for my card, positioning the first layer on top of the second and centering the die to cut it. I did this for all layers.
Next I stamped the background stamp with Versamark and embossed with clear embossing powder. Adhered all layers together, then adhered the sentiment. 
To finish up my card I adhered the panel onto white card base.

Baking makes life sweeter

Hi stampers!
This post is long over-due. I finally finished the video for my Chameleon Pencil review. I was going to post it earlier, then it felt kind of empty to not have a finished card, so I had to add a card. LoL.
Before I move onto the card and video, I wanted to mention that this is not sponsored review and no product have been provided. I purchased the pencils myself from the Chameleon pens website (link below and shipping is free!!! :D)

Thank You so very much

Hi Stampers!
I am back today, as I promised. Today is back at work day after 2 days off that I took to take a break from everything, as I said work has been crazy lately and with all 3 kids being sick the past few weeks, I just needed some time for myself, and I did almost nothing the two days I was off, though, I did create! 
I got the kids ready for daycare in the mornings and then went back to bed and slept till 10am, then went to the gym, Starbucks (of course) and then back home and created. It was relaxing! I did NO chores and didn't really cook dinner,
I hope you enjoy this simple card and you are inspired to create something today.
