     Am posting three more cards for the annual Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers {BYSHC} Christmas in July Linky Party!  The 2024 party offers 16 generous sponsors, providing nearly $300 in prizes via random draws after the weeklong challenge ends.

    The first two cards feature a free digi set (image and sentiment) named “Have a Cup of Cheer” from sponsor Not2Shabby. I wanted to use the same digis to create two cards with very different feelings. This first one is elegant… and yummy!

 

Supplies: 

·   Digi and front sentiment- free digi set from Not2Shabby (Have a Cup of Cheer)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Elegant Background paper- source unknown (no longer in a pad)  

·   Corrugated section of coffee cup- upcycled from the real thing

·   Christmas foliage and Sentiment(inside) part of a sticker set from Hobby Lobby

·   “Whipped cream”- White 3D Paint

·   “Peppermint Candy) ” sprinkles- Sprinkletz Very Cherry embellies

·    Inside Sentiment “Tis the Season...” from Beccy’s Place Digi Set (Christmas Cheers)

·   All other items from my stash.
