Put a piece of Grid Paper on top of the Stampin' Pierce Mat to protect it from ink. As you are ready to stamp using the Coffee Cafe Set, place the cardstock on the paper on the Stampin' Pierce Mat. Using the mat will help you get a cleaner image each time you stamp.
Mount the group of three coffee beans image from the Coffee Cafe Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Early Espresso Ink Pad and stamp it all around the edges of the Early Espresso rectangle. Remember to re-ink the stamp each time. Let some of the images go off the edges of the cardstock. Rotate the stamp every so often so the beans are in different positions.
Tip: You do NOT need to stamp the center of the cardstock. It will be covered.
Adhere the stamped Early Espresso rectangle to the front of the Rich Razzleberry card.
Slide one upper corner of the 3-1/4" x 4-1/2" piece of Whisper White Cardstock into the angle of the Detailed Trio Punch that punches the trio of pointy ovals on top of the small dot. Use the guides on the base of the punch to line up the corner in the punch. Press down firmly on the center of the punch to punch. Repeat with the other upper corner.
Slide one of the punched corners of the Whisper White Cardstock into the angle of the Detailed Trio Punch that punches the rounded corner. Use the guides on the base of the punch to line up the corner in the punch. Press down firmly on the center of the punch to punch. Repeat with the other punched corner.
Slide one corner of the thin strip of Rich Razzleberry Cardstock into the angle of the Detailed Trio Punch that punches the rounded corner. Use the guides on the base of the punch to line up the corner in the punch. Press down firmly on the center of the punch to punch. Repeat with the other corner on the long edge.
Mount the coffee rings circles image from the Timeless Textures Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Early Espresso Ink Pad. Stamp it randomly around on the corner punched white rectangle multiple times. Remember to re-ink the stamp every so often. Let some of the images go off the edges of the cardstock. Change the orientation of the stamp every so often as well.
Mount the small splatters group image from the Timeless Textures Set on Block A. Ink it up with the Early Espresso Ink Pad. Stamp it randomly around on the corner punched white rectangle multiple times. Remember to re-ink the stamp every so often. Let some of the images go off the edges of the cardstock. Change the orientation of the stamp every so often as well. Let some of the images overlap the previously stamped images.
Mount the linen weave block image from the Timeless Textures Set on Block C. Ink it up with the Mint Macaron Ink Pad. Stamp it on the bottom of the punched white rectangle so the left edge of the image goes off the left edge of the cardstock and the bottom edge of the image is about 1/4" from the bottom of the cardstock. Re-ink the image and stamp it again so it is just to the right of the first image and about 1/4" from the bottom of the cardstock. Leave the stamp on the block.
Ink the stamp up again with the Mint Macaron Ink Pad. Stamp it on the punched white cardstock so the left edge of the image barely goes off the left side of the cardstock and the top of the image is about 2" from the top of the punched cardstock.
Adhere the punched strip of Rich Razzleberry Cardstock to the back of the punched and stamped white cardstock so that the purple color shows through the punched out areas on the white cardstock. Use Paper Snips to trim off any excess cardstock if needed.
Adhere the layered, punched, and stamped white cardstock to the front of the card so it is centered on the Early Espresso layer with the punched corners on the top.
Unlock the Banner Triple Punch. Slide one end of the strip of Country Lane Designer Paper into the punch as far as it will go. Punch. Repeat with the other end.
Adhere the punched strip of designer paper to the front of the card so it is about 1/2" from the bottom of the white layer.
Cut a 4" piece of Rich Razzleberry 1/4" Velvet Ribbon so both ends are at angles.
Lay the piece of ribbon across the center of the punched designer paper banner. Use a small strip of Tear & Tape Adhesive on the RIGHT side of the ribbon to hold it in place. Leave the protective backing on the Tear & Tape. Use a Mini Glue Dot under the LEFT side of the ribbon to hold it in place.
Mount the large, outline cup image from the Coffee Cafe Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Early Espresso Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the 2-1/2" x 3-1/4" piece of white cardstock.
Mount the "happiness is a cup of coffee..." sentiment from the Coffee Cafe Set on Block D. Ink it up with the Rich Razzleberry Ink Pad. Stamp it in the center of the outline coffee cup image.
Pick out the matching larger coffee cup framelit from the Coffee Cups Framelits. Place the stamped cup image on the Cutting Pad on top of the Magnetic Platform on the Big Shot. Place the cup framelit on top so it is centered over the stamped image. Place a Cutting Pad on top and run through the Big Shot.

Use Stampin' Dimensionals to adhere the lid cut out to the top of the coffee cup.
Carefully peel up a large and a medium Mint Macaron dot and a tiny Blackberry Bliss dot from a sheet of Faceted Dots making sure that you get the adhesive backings as well. Adhere them randomly to the top of the punched white layer.
