Way to go on Australia Day!
Beautiful project!
I have a card class on Tuesday's and we just did the Envelope Gift Box as a project last night. When I downloaded my email re the "Envelope Gift Box" from splitcoaststampers my instructions asked for one 8 1/2 x 11 piece of cardstock, but when I downloaded off the gallery the instructions asked for A4 8 1/2 x 11 5/8. Why the difference? I felt foolish in front of my friends as theirs was working out different than mine. We did complete the project, but were wondering why two differenct instructions.
Hopefully you will let me know why.
Thanks,
Heather
When I put the instructions into the tutorial, I messed up and wrote down 8 1/2" x 11" because I thought that's what A4 paper size is. But Valita, our Australian guest writer corrected me that the A4 paper size is 8 1/4" x 11 5/8". So we corrected it in the tutorial. Sorry about the confusion.
standard A4 or 5 x 7?
Thanks
