crafticious: Tent fold card - 'Poppy'

Here is the link to a projet I want to try. Only one problem, it isn't in inches. I stink at conversions. Anyone seen something similar but for us non-metric folks?

[shazsilverwolf]

This metric to imperial converter is ace. Just type in the metric version, and it converts it to inches. Some of it gets to silly fractions, but I don't see why you could not round up a tiny bit. For instance, 120mm converts to 4 and 23/32! But I reckon 4 3/4" is close enough. :p I may be a Brit, but I hate metric- I'll always be an imperial gal, lol. Helps that I work in the aerospace industry, and that does everything in imperial! HTH.

Thanks so much for the help. Think I will get a chance to work on this later today.

Most rulers have imperial and metric on them. Couldn't you use a ruler and pencil?

[samanthadesigns]

Long story but I do not have a ruler except what is on my paper cutter and score board.

I got my ruler out and the best I can figure is:
297= 11 3/4"
210= 8 1/4"
120= 4 3/4"
24= 1"

Let me know if that works

Thanks I went with 4 3/4 inch by 11inches for the top and ottom. Scored the top portion in the middle at 5 1/2 then the tabs at 1 inch on one side and found the other end needed to be at 1 7/8 inch so card would fold. The bottom piece is scored every 2 3/4 inches. It turned out pretty well. I will see if I can get it posted.

In saw your card. You did a great job! Glad you could work out the measurements. I know how hard that is. I had to do it a while back when I was working on a special fold card.
