It sounds to me like you have a copy of the tab panel on each card. 
What you need to do is put the tab panel into a group, and check on the 
"Behave like a background" of the group in the Inspector. Then delete 
all the other tab panels on the other cards, and then go to each of the 
cards you've already created and place the new background group on the 
card (Object menu, choose Place Group, and then pick the group). Any 
new cards you create will automatically inherit the background group.

This way all the cards are sharing the same group object so the changes 
to the tab panel is reflected on all cards at once.
