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.
