Blame the Bubblewrap Card for a Good Laugh

Blame the Bubblewrap Card shows two tiny dollhouse figures in a cozy parlor, and the printed words “She tried to blame the bubblewrap, but they both knew the truth. That was a fart.” say exactly what is going on. It is a cheeky joke about getting caught out, and it lands because the scene is so calm. You get a laugh from the gap between the serious setting and the silly line, and it is made for anyone who has ever tried to pass off a noise on something else.

Ships with a kraft envelope; envelope color in photo may vary.

The design in detail

The main subject is a figure with auburn hair in a pink floral blouse and a brown skirt, mid-step, one shoe lifted as if she is trying to shake off the blame. Bubblewrap is scattered across the rug around her feet, and a loose roll sits on the floor beside a second figure. That second figure sits on a green striped sofa, a brown striped sweater on, with a sheet of wrap draped over one arm and a look of quiet awareness on her face. Behind them hangs a small framed sampler reading “Bless This House,” which adds a wry touch to the whole scene. The rug is patterned in soft red and cream, and the wallpaper repeats small blue and pink flowers. The printed line sits in a teal banner across the top, its white letters clearly legible against the color. The style is staged photography of miniature dollhouse figures, and it belongs to the world of hobbyists who collect and build tiny rooms. Taken together, the parts make a small picture of two people sharing a secret about a noise nobody can deny.

When it gets used

The people this card suits are friends with a good sense of humor, the ones who would laugh at a dollhouse joke instead of groaning at it. You will notice the first glance lands on the figure mid-hop, and then the printed line makes the second glance worth it. This is a card you might choose when you want to say thank you to a friend who always keeps things light, and this funny thank you card fits that moment perfectly. It is easy to imagine sending it to someone who shares your sense of humor and does not take themselves too seriously.

Good occasions

This card suits any occasion where a little teasing is welcome, such as a dinner party, a shared road trip, or a friend who came through with a big favor. Slip it into a gift with a small bag of treats and let the joke do the rest. The card is available in the Greeting Card style, printed on natural stock, so you can pick it up in one simple choice.
