Each month, Stampin’ Up! offers a creative challenge (#CreativeChallengeSU). This month’s challenge calls for creators to make a clean & simple card. From their Facebook live, I also learned how to create a clean & simple card. Click here to see another similar example.
Here are the three principles the designers discussed. A clean and simple card includes:
- A lot of negative space
- Cluster element
- Texture
I tried to do that with today’s card. What do you think? Did I fill all the requirements?

Retiring In Colors
One quick note about Petunia Pop, the color featured on today’s card. It’s one of five 2024-2026 In Colors. It retires soon. If you love this color, be sure to buy the card stock, stamp pads, ink refills, and Stampin’ Blends before they sell out.
Please let me know if you have questions about today’s featured card or the retiring In Colors and other products.
