Hi everyone, I’ve had a busy few days during 1/2 term week here in the UK. We adopted two 5 month old kittens last week so they have been setting in….more to post on them later this week! Then at the end of the week, I took my youngest son to London to visit the Science Museum, then we had a great time wandering around London, visiting St James’ Park, Embankment and Trafalgar Square…whilst of course catching Pokemon! We then had some time for Archery on Friday before visiting my eldest son who went o University in Chester this autumn. It was a supply run for him (me supplying the food of course!) and a chance for me to take his Nan to visit and see where he is living.
So back to crafting, today is a great card that again folds flat for posting and only takes two cuts and four scores.

Hi Heidi, I love this card and wanted to make it this morning but can’t follow the cutting and scoring instructions in inches. They appear to be mixed with centimeters and are very confusing. Could you please review them and let me know what I am missing. Thank you for all you do. I love your projects!
I tried making this card, too, and couldn’t get the scoring and cutting instructions in inches to work for me.
I’ve sent you an email with instructions just in inches. In the U.K. The Stampin Up trimmer only has measurements on the cutter in cms, but I have worked out an inches only version and updated the post too.
