Hi Everyone,
Welcome to the “Go Ahead, Laugh at Us!” Hambo Stamps Blog Hop! The Bacon Bits are here to help you start your month off right with a little April Fools laughter and fun.
Before we get to the cards, here is a little piggy joke to get laughing right from the start. Ready?
Why did the little pig hide the soap?
Because he heard the farmer yell, "Hogwash"!
Yeah yeah, my hubby just rolled is eyes and said, "That's the joke you're gonna use"? Whatever, I liked it.
Now, if you arrived here from Silke's blog, you are in the right place. If not, you will want to start back at the beginning at the Hambo blog – TALK TO THE HAM. We don’t want you to miss anything!
A little surprise is hiding on one of the blogs today, so be sure to leave some comment love as you “hoof it” around the hop. One lucky commenter on the mystery hop spot will be in hog heaven and win a $15.00 gift certificate to Hambo Stamps!
Not only that, each design team member will be giving away a digi image to one random commenter on their blog. As for my give away, I will let you choose the image you want, so make sure you leave a comment before midnight April 3rd CST. I will announce the winner here on my blog Monday morning April 4th. You will then have one week to email your name and digi choice to designteam@hambostamps. We love comments anytime, but remember the deadline for prize entries is midnight April 3rd CST.
My card today is made with one of the stamps in the Fractured Funnies line of stamps named How Much Chocolate (#3113). These stamps come in pairs; one for the outside and one to finish off the inside. I was thrilled to get this stamp, along with the cute little chocolate chip(#1723), because I LOVE chocolate! The inspiration for my card came from one of those fancy chocolate shops that has their goodies displayed so well that you want to eat them all! Here is the front of my card...
And this is the inside all decorated to match :)
Do you like my ruffled ribbon? Well, it came from Hambo Stamps too! Yes, Hambo Stamps has a whole line of May Arts ribbon and this is a 3/8" grosgrain ribbon in a yummy burgundy color (#SX25). I just used super sticky tape and ruffled it up.
Next up on the hop is Hannah. You will love what she has to show you today!
Thanks for visiting!

Hi Karin...very pretty card I love the doily. I bought some the other day, need to use it! Cute joke!! I like it! You made me giggle because my husband would have said the same thing. I have a hard time remembering all of the joke so by the time I tell it, it's like umm let me start over and I'm laughing and telling the punch line early. hahah!
Have a great day!
Love your card..that's MY kind of humor!!
Everything on your blog is fantastic!
My name is Karin also..and I can so relate to your comments about the spelling of your name. It made me laugh right out loud....we could be sisters!

LOL, that is just too cute! The inside is beautifully finished. I really do wonder how much chocolate one could eat over a lifetime. ;)
Fractured Funnies are one of the reasons I just Hambo. The images and sentiments just make me smile. Not only does that inspire me, but I know the receiver of the card is going to smile too.
Love the card and how you used the ribbon on it. Thanks for sharing ")
Perfect sentiment and sweet card !!
LOVE it! The paper is just perfect for that image! I love chocolate! Awesome!
Oh chocolate! YUM! Makes me need a Hershey bar! Love the ruffled ribbon! Super cute paper too~

Now, that's my kind of card. Love it (and chocolate).
Cute card, I love the sentiment!
This is so perfect Karin! The DP, the doily, the scrunched ribbon... I'm deep into my research to find the answer for the "How much chocolate?" question, and will let you know the results! LOL
Yum! Now this card is right up my alley!!! Perfection!
Amen on the chocolate! Gorgeous card!
Love your card especially the ruffled ribbon & the doilie. The sentiment made me giggle!
wonderful card, I'll help with the chocolate question, awesome ribbon treatment
What a yummy card!
Love it! That stamp set cracks me up!
An invitingly darling card - yummy! Tho the ribbons are burgundy, the photo makes them look a little chocolatey, too - almost like ribbon'ed chocolate! The colors in your card are perfect with the sentiment. So when do we get started testing out how much chocolate?
Very pretty card and I so can relate to that lol
I like the joke too. I'm going to have to try to remember to tell Liz in the morning. I bet she'll like it too. (I have been told that she tells the lunch ladies a new joke every day...)
I love your card. Fabulous sentiment and the little chocolate chips are perfect. Great ribbon too.
Have a wonderful weekend!
So cute ... And funny!
great sentiment. I love the doilies. It adds the right touch and the ribbon is perfect.
Haa! Haa! That's my motto! One can never have enough chocolate! Fun card!
Great plan! Love those kisses... Mmmmmmm
This is cute and one of my favorite Hambo stamps. :)
What a beautiful card! Love how the inside and outside match!
What a fun stamp set! I do like your ruffled ribbon a lot.
I love what you did with the ribbon and how the inside of the card is just as decorated as the outside - what a novel idea!
