Lemonade, soda, mixed drink? How about Vellum? Yes, I made this drink cup with Vellum Cardstock, and if you keep reading, I'll show you how!

Step 1:

Using a scallop circle shape, sponge some clouds in the background by sponging at the top of the scallop shape to create your clouds, keep moving the scallop shape around and adding clouds:

Step 2:

Using Sahara Sand Cardstock, tear a few pieces, sponge the edges with Soft Suede Ink and position at the bottom of your card for the "beach":

Step 3: 

Cut out a piece of Vellum Cardstock measuring 3" x 3". Cut 2 opposite sides starting at 3" on one end and tapering 3/4" to the other end. Score 1/4" on each tapered end and add Sticky Tape:

Step 4:

Use an ink color according to the "drink" you want in your glass. I like "Kahlua" so I used Crumb Cake Ink and a Sponge Dauber to add ink to the back of my Vellum Cardstock:

Step 5:

Remove Sticky Tape from one side and glue in place. When gluing second side, remember to push the Vellum Cardstock towards the center to make it bow in the middle. This will create the 3D view of your cup. Glue in place. Add a straw by using Mini Glue Dots. You might have to trim the straw to fit:

Step 6:

Add Tom-bow Mono-adhesive to a toothpick and glue in place inside the glass:

Step 7:

Cut out one piece of Cajun Craze Cardstock with the 1 3/4" Scallop Circle Punch. Score each scallop by going straight across. Cut off scallops enough so that 6 remain. Snip off the curved parts of the 2 scallops on each end:

Step 8:

Add Tombow Mono-adhesive to the 2 scallops on each end:

Step 9:

Glue in place by again forming a bow in the umbrella so it pops up:

Step 10:

Using the 2-Way Glue Pen, add glue to the rim of the glass. Sprinkle Dazzling Diamonds:

Step 11:

The final step is to add a flower to the outside edge of the cup. I made this flower with the Blossom Party Die and the Big Shot Machine. I used a Neutral Glimmer Brad in the center. The sentiment is from the Your A Gem Stamp Set inked in Crumb Cake Ink and cut out with the Oval Punch:
