Design Challenge Extra

🎨 Monthly Design Challenge: Pun Fun 🧠💥

Calling all wordplay wizards and clever card crafters—this month, it’s time to Pun and Done!

The June design challenge theme is all about punny perfection. Whether your cards bring groans, giggles, or guffaws, this is your time to shine with text ideas that twist words and tickle funny bones.

Pun cards are evergreen sellers—perfect for birthdays, love, holidays, pets, food, and even sympathy (yes, punthapy is a thing). The key is a strong visual hook and a line that makes people say, “Oh no… I love it.”

🖼️ Tips to Win with Puns:

• Pair the pun with strong visuals – The sillier, the better.
• Use universal humor – Keep jokes family-friendly and widely understandable.
• Think cross-category – Puns work for birthdays and congratulations, Valentine’s and get well.
• Keep it short – A snappy punchline makes it memorable (and easier to design around).
