  1. Hi Amanda! This is an adorable card and I'm trying to follow along with your imperial measurement tutorial and I'm stuck at steps 9 & 10. You say to score on the sides at 5 1/8 in step 9 and then 5 1/8 in the center in step 10. From looking at your beautiful finished card, it appears the center (door) score should be above the side (window) scores. I tried converting from metric, but I wasn't able to get my measurements to work. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong?

    1. Oh gosh...So Sorry... it was a typo! And I wasn't here to quickly amend!! So Point 11 now reads 4 1/8" (not 5 1/8") Thanks for asking...
