1 Layout, 3 Cards – April 2025 Replay!

Leave a comment April 23, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Ready to stretch your creativity with a single layout? In my April 2025 edition of “1 Layout / 3 Cards,” I used the same basic structure to create three completely different looks! The sketch is from page 22 of the Stampin’ Up!® Annual Catalogue. I also have a printable version for you below.

Here’s a closer look at the three cards I created:

✨ A graduation Congratulations card with classic blues and stars featuring the online exclusive School Days stamp set

🌸 A soft floral Thoughtful Expressions design using Naturally Gilded Specialty Designer Series Paper

🦀 A fun Ocean Friends crab card with beachy textures and playful bubbles

Each one showcases how you can change the look with colours, themes, and embellishments—while sticking to one easy card layout.

I’m so excited to share this vibrant birthday card I created during my recent Facebook Live. It features the Arched Wishes Stamp Set and Everyday Arch Dies, both of which are Online Exclusives. This design was inspired by Loni Spendlove’s gorgeous card, which you can see here.

What makes this card truly special is the masked balloon technique I used to create the colorful blended background. By combining stamped images with a soft ink-blended effect, I added depth and a festive vibe perfect for any celebration.

Card Details:
🎈 Masked balloons and a rainbow blended background
🧁 Bright, cheerful cupcake stamped and fussy cut
🌟 Added embellishments for extra sparkle and fun

1 Layout, 3 Cards – March 2025 Replay!

Leave a comment March 19, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

In today’s 1 Layout, 3 Cards episode, I showcased how a single card sketch can inspire three distinct designs. This month, I used the sketch from page 22 of the Annual Catalogue and had so much fun bringing it to life with different themes!

Here’s a closer look at the three cards I created:

✨ Lemon Lime Twist Birthday Card – I paired the One More Year stamp set with a Pastel Ombre Glimmer Paper banner for a pop of shimmer. The background is fully stamped with a repeating birthday sentiment for a bold and festive look! Watch the replay for tips on stamping the sentiment and colouring the Antique Pearls.

✨ Storybook Easter Card – A sweet, vintage-style card featuring the Storybook Moments DSP critters and a sentiment from Storybook Friends. The soft plaid background adds the perfect cozy touch for spring!

✨ Striped Birthday Card – This one has a softer, more elegant feel with the Painted Stripes background stamp (stamped in Boho Blue, which is retiring soon!). The floral elements come from the Delightful Wishes bundle, stamped in Flirty Flamingo and Granny Apple Green.

All three cards include:
🎀 A banner die-cut from the largest Nested Essentials banner
🎀 Coordinating Baker’s Twine from the Three Color Pack
🎀 Finished with Antique Pearls

💡 If you missed the Live, you can watch the replay here:

Create a Fun Fold Dinosaur Card with Stampin’ Up!’s Darling Dinos! 🦖🎈

Leave a comment March 12, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Who’s ready for a DINO-mite birthday card? 🦕💖 This bright and cheerful card features the Darling Dinos Bundle and some brand-new Online Exclusives from Stampin’ Up! such as the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder and the Pack Your Bags Three Pack Twine. Plus, I used a unique popped up panel layout to make it extra special! Keep reading for all the details and a video for step-by-step instructions!

Card Details & Supplies

Here’s a closer look at the products I used to bring this card to life:

✅ Darling Dinos Bundle – The cutest dino stamps and coordinating dies!
✅ Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder – Adds amazing texture to the background.
✅ Pack Your Bags Twine – A perfect finishing touch.
✅ Rainbow Adhesive Back Dots – Because every card needs a little embellishing!
✅ Stampin’ Blends in Granny Apple Green/Shaded Spruce, Azure Afternoon/Fresh Freesia, and Pretty in Pink/Calypso Coral for smooth blending!

Fun Popped Up Panel Layout: A Unique Twist!

This isn’t your typical card—here’s how I created the popped up panel effect:

📏 Card Base: Start with a 4-1/4” x 11” piece of cardstock, scored at 5-1/2”.
✂️ Modify the Front Panel: Cut the front panel in half at 2-3/4” and turn it sideways to create the pop-up effect!
🌟 Decorate & Assemble: Layer your stamped & die-cut dinos, add textured details with the Mini Corrugated 3D Embossing Folder, and finish with twine and embellishments!

💡 Pro Tip: This layout is a great way to add dimension and interest while still fitting in a standard envelope!

February 2025 – 1 Layout/ 3 Cards – Featuring Sale-A-Bration Products!

Leave a comment February 26, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Sale-A-Bration is ending in just 3 days (February 28th), and I had to showcase some of my favorite SAB items before they’re gone! I created three different cards using the same layout from page 22 of the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalogue—each one featuring a unique and fun Sale-A-Bration product. If you haven’t grabbed these goodies yet, now is the time!

Card #1: Heart Shaped Bundle

This elegant card highlights the Heart Shaped Bundle, stamped in Highland Heather Ink and accented with the Fresh Freesia Seam Binding Ribbon. I love how the delicate heart wreath creates a soft and pretty focal point. Perfect for sending a sweet note!

Card #2: Friendly Seagulls

For a more playful look, I used the Friendly Seagulls Stamp Set and paired it with soft ombré tones from the Ocean Friends 12X12 DSP. The background gives an ocean-inspired feel, and those little fish add the perfect whimsical touch!

Card #3: Fruit Salad DSP

This card is all about fresh and fruity vibes! Featuring the Fruit Salad 6×6 DSP, I fussy cut some of the fruit elements to create a vibrant, dimensional look. Such a fun and cheerful card!

Fun with Fruit Salad DSP & With You In Mind

Leave a comment February 13, 2025 Leah Dixon - Stampin Up! Demonstrator

Hello, stampers!

This week’s Wednesday Live was all about bright, cheerful designs featuring the Fruit Salad 6×6 DSP and the versatile With You In Mind stamp set. I had so much fun putting together three fresh and fun cards, and I hope they inspire your next crafting session!

Let’s Take a Closer Look at the Cards:

🍉 Thank You Card – This card has all the summer vibes with its playful watermelon pattern! Paired with bold stamping and a pop of heart accents, it’s a sweet way to show gratitude.

🌼 Thinking of You Card – A mix of vibrant colors, delicate floral details, and a beautifully scripted sentiment make this card a perfect way to let someone know they’re on your mind.

🧁 Birthday Card – Who doesn’t love cupcakes? This happy and bright birthday card features layered elements, soft pastel details, and fun embellishments to celebrate in style!

Catch the Replay!

If you missed the live, don’t worry—you can watch the replay below to see how these cards came together step by step. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced crafter, these designs are easy to recreate and customize to your style.
