I will miss Baja Breeze when it “retires” on June 30th. It is so stunning when paired with Basic Black and Whisper White. While this layout was influenced by a monochromatic card designed by Jen of Designs by Boo, the use of the Small Leaves Sizzlits die was inspired by a Making Memories brad that was leftover from my non-Stampin’ Up! life. This card is definitely quick and classy!
- Make a standard card base from Basic Black. Score on the side.
- Using the Swirls Plate from Stampin’ Up! Backgrounds I and the Big Shot, texturize 4″ x 5-1/4″ piece of Baja Breeze card stock and layer it onto the card base.
- Select the Polka Dot print from the Baja Breeze Designer Series Paper collection cut to 1-1/2″ x 5-1/4″ and mat onto Basic Black. Punch the edge with the Scallop Border Punch, and wrap the other edge with 1/4″ Whisper White Grosgrain Ribbon and tie a bow. Layer over the texturized Baja Breeze.
- Using Nestabilities Scalloped Circles dies and the Big Shot, prepare layered circles, cutting the larger from Basic Black and the smaller from Whisper White. Layer the white over the black. Finish the edges of the black scalloped circle with a Paper Piercer available in the Crafters’ Tool Kit.
- Using the Stampin’ Up! Little Leaves Sizzlits die and the Big Shot, prepare Baja Breeze leaflets and adhere to the white circle with Mini Glue Dots. Use Stampin’ Dimensionals to pop the entire scalloped element off of the card base. (Tip: I happened to have a scrap of texturized Baja Breeze which I used, giving a unique look tot he leaflets!)
- As a final touch, I added the brad that inspired it all in the lower right hand corner!

I adore a girl who doesn’t think every leaf needs to be green! Very cool with texture, too. The crowning touch is the brad . . . wow! Hugs, M
Pretty color combo – I’m so going to miss that Baja Breeze 🙁 That brad is the perfect match!
Baja and Black–what a combo!
Love it! So pretty and creative!
