I wanted to get my cards entered into the Twofer Challenge today. I have started on Easter cards so I snuck one into the challenge. I used balloon dies from Simon Says Stamp and splattered Distress Inks in red, blue and green all over the front of the birthday card that says "Lets Party". Then I cut balloons from three different colors and stamped the sentiment from Lawn Fawn. For the Easter card I cut one of the largest balloons I used on the first card from SSS and trimmed it into a cracked egg top. The stamp is by Stampendous, colored with Copics and fussy cut. I am getting better at fussy cutting as I usually chop off a limb or digit. The chick is intact and popped up in the egg. The black panel is cut with a Spellbinders die. I added Nuvo crystal glaze to his beak (mouth). The sentiment is also from Stampendous.
There is no drama to report. But it's only 8:42 am.
Be kind to one another.

This are two super cute balloon cards, Brenda. I like splattered background on the first card and super effect achieved thru the dark background and yellow and white motif on the second one. Well done. :-)
Have a nice weekend.
Hugs, Sonja
Love these, Brenda. So cute. Very creative to use part of a balloon for the chick's egg!
You used your balloons in such a clever way with these cards! Love the colors and splatters, but that cute chick card just quacks me up too ;)
Oh, my gosh, Brenda, that chickie popping out of his balloon egg is just brilliant! I love his glossified beak and how you made him pop with a black background and a pretty scallop frame! Both your CASlicious designs are fantastic! Your schplattered birthday party card is uber festive and I want to join in the fun! Glad to see no thing was damaged with your fussy-cutting today!! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #14! Hugs, Darnell

How clever idea, Brenda!!!!!!! Two beautiful cards. Kisses, my friend.
Brenda, I just adore your little Easter card OMG adorbale isn't the word :)
A fabulous balloon Twofer, Brenda! The hatching duckling is so clever and cute! He looks like he's quacking up! Love the gloss on his beak. Your fun bunch of floating balloons appear to be tied to the sentiment and I love that. Great splattered background. I can imagine the mess I'd make doing all that splatter! I'm so glad you played along with us at Twofer. The Easter duck really caught my eye!
Hi Brenda, two fun cards, I adore the little chick ready to leap from his balloon egg. Have a wonderful weekend... Megan
Hi Brenda,
what brilliant Twofer cards and your designs are so lovely.
Beautiful bright coloured ballons on the first and your ink splatter look brilliant.
Oh how cute is the second one the lovely little chickie peering out of the ballon egg what a very super idea.
Lots of crafty love. Jenny L.
Two fantastic cards for your Twofer. I love that quacked egg. Great way to use the balloon.
You are so clever, Brenda! Turning the balloon into an egg was a brilliant idea! Love it and the sentiment! The bouquet of balloons is so festive and fun! Great job on the cards and I hope you continued on a drama free day :-)
Beautiful cards, Brenda! Colorful balloon card and love the fun chick popping out of the egg! Great sentiment, too!
Your colorful balloons are too cute and I love the imagination you used to make the balloon a cracked egg with the adorable duck. Well done, Brenda!
So glad there is no drama to report Brenda! We can do without drama can't we?!! What a great job with the twofer challenge!!! You really though out of the box with your balloon for your Easter card. I love the splatters on your balloon card, looks like a party to me! I adore your chick in the egg (balloon), the sentiment cracks me up! lol Well done on this challenge Brenda! Oh and stay drama free please! Hugs, Brenda
These are a great twofer set of cards!
Your hatching chick is so adorable!
What fabulous bold, bright party balloons against the splattery confetti background, Brenda ... and such clever use of the balloon for an Easter egg! That little duckling is adorable popping up out of it ... the shiny beak is just perfect ... and what a fun sentiment! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Twofer! Hugs, Anita :)
You certainly created a party on your card with those bright colored balloons and speckles! That chick is fantastic popping out of his shell! Great job fussy cutting without losing a digit - his or yours! Thanks for joining in the fun with us at the Twofer Card Challenge!
Two super cards Brenda, how clever to use your balloon die as an egg.

You really do quack me up, Brenda! Hope the no drama continued all day--haha! Speaking of quacks--Go Ducks! So happy they won today! Back to your cards which are so fun & creative & the glaze even shows in the photo!
Your chick in an eggshell is such a clever way to repurpose a balloon die-cut! I love your creativity!
