Week 288: PUN


Who needs a reason to smile this week?!  We're pretty sure the gallery for this cue word will brighten your day!

Need help defining what a pun is?!  Here's a link that might be helpful.  Enjoy!

As always, remember the following CAS guidelines when creating your design:
  1. One main image
  2. Lots of open space, uncluttered
  3. Limited layers & embellishments
  4. Quick & easy to recreate (Note: It may take a while to create a design you like, but once you have that design, making more should be a piece of cake!)



STAMPlorations is returning as our wonderful sponsor and is offering this challenge's winner a $15 gift certificate to the online store!  Remember, during the weeks STAMPlorations is sponsoring us, you can refresh your craft stash with the help of the 10% off discount code, CASOLOGY!

    1. Hi! A pun is basically a play on words. You often use a word that sounds similar, but has an entirely different meaning and end up with a funny/cute end result! :) Here is a link to some more examples of puns: http://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples-of-puns.html

    2. Ow thank you for responding so fast!! I will check the link and i hope i can make some choices because i can't decide what stamp to use or what color of paper i wanna use. So frustrating :D Then i learned about challenges and because i never can decide what to use, this was perfect. Wrong thinking, same problem :D haha! And to challenge myself for trying to create, maybe being active in blogs and comments i get the courage to make something :D hehee! Sorry for my letter to you :D haha! Thank u for your help

  2. I linked the photo of the front of my card to your challenge but the pun is on the inside. You'll see it when you hopefully go to visit! I always love a pun challenge ;-) Thank you for the opportunity to play. My card took less than 15 minutes to make!

  3. I have a card to share. It's the first time so if someone could help?

    If i'm right, i post my card on twitter? because i'm struggling with making a blog on Blogger. When i post my card how do I link to this website? Is there anywhere a tutorial for this situation? :D

  4. Hello again! :)

    You can link to your Twitter post, if you'd like. Once you've posted on Twitter, click on the little down arrow to the right of your tweet and copy the link to your tweet. Use that link when linking to the gallery here on the CASology blog.
