I've got a couple of cards to inspire your desire to play! Here they are together:
And here they are individually:
My first card is a "just a note" card for those friends who need a little smile in their mailbox. I went with a yellow base, and then a Greetery panel in the center. All the umbrellas, the raindrops, and the sentiment are from Your Next Stamp (the exact same stamp and die set I used on my first two cards in the original Twofer blog post). Those cute little umbrellas and the raindrops were stamped/colored/diecut in a plethora of happy colors, and an MFT square holds the sentiment.
For my second card, I went completely "out-of-the-box." Where is the rain, or the umbrellas you might ask. Look at that little flower to the left of the sentiment...yep. I turned the die cut raindrops into flower petals and leaves. Talk about versatility! I found a carefully hoarded floral patterned paper scrap, and then added a PPP border cut in white over the top. The sentiment is from WF. The flower's center is an enamel dot. So easy, and so pretty I think.
That's all from me for today, and as always...

Beautiful cards and so clever of you to turn the raindrops into sweet little flowers for your 2nd card.
So very, very sorry to hear about the passing of your beloved husband. Please know I am sending you prayers and love. May your wonderful memories bring you comfort at this very difficult time. Love and Hugs..Nancy
You are so clever with this second set of Twofers, Bevie! I have to admit, before I read the text, I scratched my head when I first saw your designs, wondering what the heck you used for your same prompt element. It's genius how you made that flower on your pretty birthday card from the same raindrops you used on your cheerful rainbow of umbrellas design! Thank you for the sensational inspiration to remind everyone of the current challenge! Take care and be safe! Hugs, Darnell
You clever rascal you! I thought it was the umbrella that would be the image on both cards and couldn't find it on the second one. What a great move to use the raindrops as your image for both cards and make a flower out of them. I love all the pretty color. Either card would brighten someone's day.
Ohhh that raindrop flower is brilliant! Such a great use for the drops and twice the petals and leaves...Your umbrellies all over is such a happy looking card too. Love.
Nice job! Love the cute umbrellas with the sentiment popped atop, and the special use of those raindrops was perfect on your second card!
Bev, this is just brilliant thinking and has resulted in the most beautiful cards!
I was so sorry to read that your husband has passed. Sending love, Vicky x
Oh my gosh, Bev! These cards are so cute! I'm glad you explained about the second card, because I was searching to find an umbrella or rain. :) This is so creative and fun! Hope you are doing well, my sweet friend. Sending love and hugs, Loll
Your bright rainbow of brollies is brilliant, Bev ... they look so fun being blown about amid the colourful raindrops! Had to look closely to figure out how you'd used the raindrops on your sweet flower card ... don't they make wonderful petals and leaves ... they're delicious with the pretty pp and scalloped edging! Thinking of you, my lovely friend ... big hugs and bisous, Anita :)
Such a cheerful couple of cards, Bev! I love your rainbow of raindrops and umbrellas - they will certainly brighten someone's day. Your raindrop petals make the perfect flower on your girly girl birthday card! Thinking about you and missing you!
Bev, these are such bright and cheerful cards-love seeing them and what great ways to use the raindrops....I had to keep looking to see where you got this and did before I read it! Super fun cards-sending my love xx
