02.07.2022…..Happy Tuesday, my stampin’ friends! There are so many fun stamp sets in the new Stampin’ Up! January – June Mini Catalog! It’s always nice to have a stamp set with images and sentiment, but I do love a good “sentiments only” stamp set…..and especially a set with humorous sentiments! That being said, I just couldn’t resist purchasing the Bragworthy Stamp Set! It’s just so much fun!

Because I love these sentiments so much, I decided to make them the “stars of the show”. I didn’t add any ther stamped images, just an inked and embossed background, and some embellishiments. Hope this card inspires you create a some projects and cards with your favorite sentiment set, as well!
