Fun in the Pun

Fun in the Pun. See...already a little pun happening. Don't you just love the English language?! That we can rhyme, switch out words or change up punctuation to create a whole new (and possibly funny/punny) sentence, often makes me laugh out loud. Check this out:

Let's eat Grandma.

or

Let's eat, Grandma.

See what I did there?! One little comma and the whole thing changes! Gotta love it! Words are great!

I do have a couple of cards with plays/puns on words to share today. The first one is going off to play at CAS on Friday and the second one is headed into the AAA Cards challenge.


Use these colors ;-) 




My first card:


A simple belated birthday card. This is an NBUS EH set that I just couldn't resist. Those little cameras are adorable, aren't they?! I used the ink colors in CASoF's challenge and just added the little blings for that something extra. I found a scrap (can you believe it?!) that matched one of the ink colors perfectly and used that as a panel underneath my focal panel. EZPZ.

Next up:



I saw this YNS set around Christmastime last year and laughed and laughed. I knew I had to have it, and just waited for the right moment to ink it up. I did a little Copic coloring, and die cut the image. One red enamel dot and that silly sentiment helped to finish it off. A red scrap to bring out the color of the nose and done. Now I'm going to rush off. Time to help the DH a bit and then get a few things done. As always my friends...

Ya nailed the CAS on FRiday color challenge Bev, and those bling bits so cute and "Flashy". Your Christmas card made me laugh, good thing I wasn't drinking when I looked at it...that might have made a mess.
Love them both.

Pretty colours on your first card especially with all the cameras, nice design but oh, oh... that second card is magnificent. I think I might have to see if I can find that stamp set here in the UK because I know someone who'd howl at that this Christmas, its absolutely brilliant Bev :) x

Oh Bev, I just LOVED this post!! I can see why you and Darnell are such good friends with your love of words...too funny!! Your camera card is wonderful for a belated birthday and I love the colors too...and of course the bling and the sentiment!! Now your reinbeer card...yep, that had me laughing so hard I was snorting! (good thing no one was home but the dog, and she already thinks I'm crazy!!) But seriously, that image is just too funny and the sentiment is perfect...I may have to check that one out!! FABULOUS cards my friend and thanks again for the big chuckle!! :0) Hugs.

Bev, such fun cards. I love all the play on words. I think I might have to get one of those reinbeer's :)

Oh my gosh ... two fantastic and fun cards Bev!! I love those sweet cameras and it was meant to be with your colour choices as you found the matching card stock to finish. Don't you love it when that happens??!! :)

I LOVE the reindeer. Awesome stamps set and sentiment. I laughed out loud when I saw your card! :) xx

Two fun cards, and the puns are great! I have to admit I laughed a bit on the second one too!

It took me a while, but I'm back, lol! I LOVE your so punny cards, Bevie! Love Happy New Beer! And I love that "let's eat Grandma" example and think of it every time, I see a comma out of, place. Great chatting with you! Hugs, Darnell

Okay now that reinbeer is funny, Bev. No wonder you wanted that stamp. The little cameras are adorable in those soft colors.
