Shirley, this week's Featured Stamper, has some amazing vintage cards. I was inspired by Cheating, No, just Love this Paper saq (Cheating? No, just Love this paper, saq by wannabcre8tive at Splitcoaststampers) and came up with a coffee sleeve-Winter Joy- using old fashioned lettering and an evergreen from Hampton Arts mini Christmas set, and adding some leaf/branches imagery, along with some embossing to add to that vintage vibe. I finished with some twine and a row of knotted beads on a green string.

What a cute coffee sleeve, I how you have beaded your card. The corrugated paper is perfect for the sleeve. Great take on the case. Thank you so much for playing.
