{Digital Wednesday} Four Tags, Four Techniques -- Creative Coffee Cup Tags by Maria

Happy Wednesday! Digital Wednesday is back and every 3rd Wednesday in January, February, and March, STAMPgirl Maria will be sharing her creations spotlighting our digital images either by themselves or together with other STAMPlorations products. We'll draw one lucky crafter to win a $15 gift code -- randomly drawn from all comments left on the Digital Wednesday post for the month, as well as from the featured designer's blog.

STAMPgirl Maria created four coffee cup tags using four different techniques.

Hello, crafters! Has your 2020 been crafty so far? Have you played along with our January challenges? If not, now is a great time to do so! The ladies from the design team are back with more inspiration. As always we are so grateful for your support of our challenges and can't wait to see your creations.

If you're new to our blog, please take a moment to become familiar with the challenge guidelines -- we would hate for anyone to be voted by the team as a winner or be randomly chosen as a top pick and then not qualify for the prize because they didn't follow the rules.
