Espresso-Terrestrial


 Bean Me Up!!!! I need my coffee!!!😀😀😀👽👽

Another shaker card today using Trinity Stamps, Espresso-Terrestrial Stamp Set. I am not sure if it has been released yet, I got mine with a bundle purchase on the last release.  

For the card background, I used a medium purple cardstock with the Time Warp Letterpress Plate and Fuchsia Flowers Glimmer Foil.  I saved the foil that was leftover and foiled another piece of cardstock for the coffee cup label.  

For the coffee cup, I used the Tip and Sip Coffee Shaker Die Set.  I cut the five of the shaker frame pieces, and trimmed out the inside pieces to the ones I chose to you use would move a little freer.  I glued the five frames together to create my shaker well.  The background of my cup is a medium brown piece of cardstock.  

Once I had my well created, I filled it with Espresso Ground Confetti Mix, and a few Fuchsia and Grape Sparkle Spots Flat Confetti Mix. I kind of overfilled it, so they don't move as well as I would like them, but that's okay!  I sealed up my well with a piece of acetate cut with the die.  The outside of my coffee cup is cut from a brightish green card stock.  I dusted the edges with a little Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide Ink.  The lid is cut from a very bright turquoise cardstock. I used a Copic maker to enhance the embossed lines to give it a little more dimension.  



I stamped the image with the Espress-Terrestrial Stamp Set and added the "humans" being abducted with the Abducted Stamp Set.  I colored it with Copic markers in the following colors:

B02, B04, BG05

RV32, V12, V15, V17

YG00, YG01, YG23

B0000, BG01

Once I had everything put together, my card felt a little naked.  I really wanted to incorporate the little sayings that came with the stamp set, so I cut circles out of cardstock with the Clean Cut Layers Circles Set A to fit the sentiments.  I inked them with Distress Oxide Inks in Picked Raspberry, Squeezed Lemonade and Ripe Persimmon.  I used the coffee bean stamps to make the "craters" in my new created "planets/moons".  They didn't stamp out real well, but I was using Distress Oxide Inks and they probably would have worked better with other inks.  


As I was making this card, I thought that it would be fun to put in a gift card holder on the inside left.  I used the die that comes with the Coffee Mug Card to the card holder.  



The inside sentiment is from the We've Come For Cake Stamp Set.  I thought that the combination of the two sentiments was just right for this card.

That is pretty much it for this card.  

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonder day!
