Seize the Birthday #332 Jenny - Funny/Pun-ny

STB 's first challenge of August is hosted by Jenny, and she would like us to make a card that is funny/pun-ny.

I don't have many funny/pun-ny stamp sets but found this old Stamps of Life, Flipflops 2 Stamp with Gina K. inks.  This is a play on words.

Hope this qualifies.  Lol...

If you're not a toppings kinda person, well...you can just
stick with our usual "Anything Goes" Birthday!

The choice is yours!

Our Surprise Party Guest for July & August is Lynda.

CAS Christmas August 2026 - Sleigh

Julia is our host for the month of August on CAS Christmas and she would like us to make a card with Santa's Sleigh.

I used an old stamp set by MFT Inspired by Christmas.  I love this set as it reminds me of old time Christmas cards with this antique sleigh.

I used Gina K.'s ink and oval on PTI's Rustic Cream Cardstock.

CAS Christmas July 2026 - Snowmen Linda

 

A second card to share with you for CAS Christmas.  I love snowmen so much.  They are just the cutest.  Being from the west coast, we don't often get much snow, so we have to enjoy snowmen mostly on cards or Hallmark movies.

I used Gina K's Snowflake Kisses, stamps & dies with her inks.  

You still have plenty of time to play and get ahead of the Christmas rush.  The challenge ends on the 31st.

Challenge runs July 1-31
