Thanks Kylie! This is perfect to clear up the confusion!!

Thank you so very much for all this information. I live in the states but watch a lot of videos and some use the metric system only when filming. This is going to be so helpful to me when I watch those videos. Thanks a million

Oh thank heavens you explained that! No wonder I was confused 😂 Thanks for sharing! Xx

Hi Kylie I'm so glad I found your channel, you are easy to listen to and come up with solutions that we face but don't know who to ask xxxx

Had absolutely no idea about measurements and this video literally an eye opener. Will definitely be watching tutorials. Thank you so much for your effort in your research!

I had no idea - I’ve often just eyeballed it as I follow a few American Cardmakers, and as so many have said, it doesn’t work. I too, work in inches with cardmaking - bizarre when we’re metric system here...lol. Thankyou for this !!! ❤️ Your personality is so bubbly - I think I’d still watch you if you were reading the phone book. 👍🤣 Have a great week too !!

Kylie, You are just so fun! I find myself smiling back at you when I watch your videos! Thanks for this!

Love this!!!! Thank you so much!!!!

Great idea. Thanks for working this out for us.

I've been using the loveitchopit system for a couple of years or more. LOVE it. I have saved so much paper by being able to use this system to visualize the size of layers I want to use on my cards. Thank you so much , Kylie, for coming up with this system.

Thanks Kylie this will be much easier when I watch you create , I just ordered thanks again for taking care of us in the usa

Thanks Kylie! Superb video.

Subscribed and bought the UK templates. Thank you so much Kylie for clearing the fog! xx

I LOVE this!! My friends are always teasing me because I don't throw away scraps, and this is why ... there is always a way to use up the small pieces, and this one is very creative! Of course I use them for lots of other reasons, as I hate to cut into a big sheet of paper for a small need, but this card is super cute. Thanks, Kylie, I can't wait to share this with them!! (Who's laughing now?!!)

Thank you Kylie love your videos you seem to be a lovely person very cheery . Rose

This is great, I love how you cater for both letter and A4, it’s easy to get confused, I understand how to do it, but how much easier when someone(you lol ) works out the measurements, Thank you xx💚

Thank you

Yay Kylie. thank you so much x

Thank you I have just bought the template, now I just need to get cutting my own templates. Thank you. x

Great idea Kylie! It would be really good for crafters who find it hard to visualise or new card makers who are still getting the hang of card layers.

Hi! In Canada, the measurements are also in cm and km but we use inches for Stampin'Up! Thank you for this tutorial.

Wow am I glad I watched you tonight kylie this will make a big difference in my card making because I cannot measure very well in fact my measurements are never ever right no matter how hard I try thank you so much for this video.

Thank you for your information...very helpful.

Hi Kylie 👋 As a new Cardologist, I really found my confidence knocked when i realised, the huge differences in sizes were contributing to the odd shaped cards, excess waste and my general confusion! This video has helped so much and i will be ordering some templates as soon as i can. Thankyou so much for sharing this info, it will bring the fun back to my journey.

Thank you again Kylie. I receive mine and I’m really happy

Thanks Kylie

excellent demonstration!

thankyou so much for this video it was so helpful

Kylie, this is BRILLIANT! Thank you for the time it took to put it together.🙌🏾❤️

Awesome TFS

You are spot on, as usual, Kylie! Thank you for your down-to-earth, informative and entertaining videos. Nominating you for the Nobel Prize in cardmaking! :)

thank you, it was one of the most important information I’ve ever got about cardmaking :-)

This was very helpful.

Hi Kylie it s so true that as a A4 user since being french, at the begining I wasted so much time and cardstock trying to figure out OSW posted by US youtubers but then... I discovered you !!! Thank you !!!

Awesome

Thank you for this wonderful explanation.

This is the best video about measurements, i've been searching for videos about it! *ALL CARD MAKERS SHOULD KNOW THIS AND SAY THIS IN THEIR VIDEOS!* Im saving this for sure 😭😭

Hi Kylie! First - thank you so much for these videos. You have really made this so much more enjoyable and my creativity has blossomed since watching your videos!! Second - just bought my templates :) YAY ME! When you update them, will we need to buy an additional layers download to get those measurements? Thanks again! Karen

Thanks for sharing this Kylie, made a lot of difference. Kylie when is the facebook live please? Will try and make the next one. Thanks

I live in the US and watched a card maker from the UK and she was using inches but my card did not turn out and now I know why. Thanks for clearing that up for me!

Here in the US the large bookstores often sell the UK stamping magazines and the included papers are A4. So we might actually benefit from the A4 templates too!

I’m sorry, but I assume Stampinup stuff may work with A4 cardstock. All the paper I purchase here in Australia is in books of 12” x 12” or 6”x6” ... and I mostly make 5”x7” cards... I have become adept at using scraps efficiently! Congratulations though, on making this tutorial that will be extremely helpful for those particularly in your stampinup community...

Yes for sure

Hi Kylie...Thank you for sharing...it really makes sense...and have I ever been wasting my cardstock...not anymore I won't...yay for Kylie...cheers Barb :)

I had the opposite problem. Our local bookstores will sometimes carry card magazines from England. I live in the U.S. The English magazines are great because they would have stamp sets and papers or dies. I purchased this one magazine that had card instructions, but they were in meters. I had a terrible time with them because my rulers didn't have the metric measurements on them. Finally, found a Fiskers paper cutter that had both American and Metric measurements. Now all I have to do is find the magazine.

Brilliant❣️you my sister have a gift 🥰 So is the StampinUP cardstock a different size in Australia? What size is the DSP and the smaller papers in Australia? In the USA they are 12x12 & 6x6. Do you have a love it chop it formula for the 6x6 size?

How do I go about purchasing paper to make an A4 card base? I'm in the U.S. I like the "rest of the world" size card base better than the A2 size we use here in the U.S.

Yes the template is good

Do you have templates for old dsp inserts-for the clear cases. Also what do you cut your 12x12’s downtoo and your 6x6? Please help Ty

Wonderful information. I was watching a video and couldn't understand why the demonstrator was trimming cardstock for the base instead of cutting it in half. So much waste, I hope she sees your video.

I had this issue when I started. I watched US videos and live in the UK.

I thought the a4 and letter size were the same too. Thanks for explaining. :)

Who knew?! Thanks.

I live in the United States and had no idea the rest of the world had different sized paper for crafting. I have never converted measurements...if someone uses metric I do what they say in metric and if they use the imperial measurements (inches, feet, etc. ) I just use those. Do your printers use 8 1/2 by 11? What about your cutting machines-- don’t they have 6 inch wide or 12 inch wide platforms? Are your Cricut and silhouette machines different?

Thank you Kylie such good information. Are the rectangle dies in US measurements? Or are they made in metric too? Just curious because that would be confusing too. I am from Minnesota USA. I watch a lot of you tube videos that are from Australia and other places that use metric measurements so this is so helpful!

How do I purchase the templates?

I don't always use the same size mat, it just depends on how I am "feeling" but I just mount it on my card base and center it. Love this video!

The “letter size” (for the US & Canada) as you call it, is a universalally measured as an A2 in either inches & metric.

It also depends on which system you were taught at school

I would like to get the inches If you can help me somehow I have a hard time cutting my paper right and I do waste a lot I just seen you on KZfaq it was from 2 years ago can you help me thank you

Thank you for catering for us Aussie A4 Inchies :D

I guess I don't understand the concept. Will all of the non-US demonstrators not be giving sizes in their tutorials or will we just have to guess that we use the sizes we know as our own? I don't particularly remember anyone pointing out a difference when giving sizes in their projects.

Hi Kylie, I have 18 Card Measurements, can I have the 2 that I'm missing please. Thanks

Thank you for the explanation! I honestly thought letter size and A4 size were the same. I live in the US and we call our standard card size an A2 because it's half the size of standard paper. But I guess it isn't a true A2 now is it? I purchased your card templates this morning and have been cutting templates today. Now to order some stamping cases for storage! BTW, do you have any plans to release a chopping guide for 6x6 paper any time soon? I seem to get more waste from that size then grim the larger paper! Just curious about something else but is the DSP you get in Australia 12x12 like ours is? I've often wondered... Thanks again for your brilliant ideas!!

Hi, it's not so much the difference between A4 and Letter paper measurements that I was having, I was aware of this. The problem I have is that, the American frame dies are all designed to incorporate A2 card sizes so, for the most I have the waste from my A4 paper. That said, I usually manage to use the waste for stamping etc.

IM =IN THE USA, DO I NEED TO BUY THE A 4 CHOICES ???

So Kylie is 8.5'x11' what you are calling letter size cardstock? I have cardstock in both A4 and the 8.5'x11'. I'm a confused aussie lol.

I just want to know the standard US stamping up card measurements. Do I need to buy your templates for that or are the templates something different? Confused as always. lol

so the templates for size A4 cards not A2?

It is weird that we in the US and Canada have different measurements than literally everyone else. Why do we do these things? Do we need to make life complicated? Lol.

I never realized that the card stock was so different.

I live in the United States, back in the 1960s I learned that we did not have a universal form of measurement on this planet. Being very young it baffled me, now that I'm really old I'm still baffled. I was truly blessed because I could see the conversion easily. None of my schoolmates could pick up the metric system at all and at that time I thought metric is so much simpler than inches, where did we even come up with this silly base 12 form of measurement. I've made custom draperies my whole life and like I said earlier I'm truly blessed with the ability to do equations in my head quickly and the metric system is the one I rely on when I need to do this. Base 10 makes so much more sense than base 12. It would be interesting to learn where the base 12 nonsense even came from. I did get into a lot of trouble from my teachers, challenging them when they said the universal form of measurement and I would correct them saying no it's not universal it's just standardized for our country universal should imply everybody uses the same form of measurement. Well I was always getting in trouble at school anyway for being a smart mouth.

I wish you lived in the US so I could get your goodies!

I live in the USA and love your templates. Can I purchase the Imperial templates by PayPal.

Oops, INCHES Please!

I only ever look at tutorials as a guide.... if we all do exactly the same stuff what is the point... surely we are trying to express our own creativity.... and that means adapting an idea not slavishly following every measurement and getting "cookie cutter" exact replicas. We crafters are smart enough to realise that !!!!

🇨🇦Helloooo Kylie Bertucci! I am so stoked about your TEMPLATES, I’m not sure 🤔 what you mean “”in a tutorial format””? The actual measuring is my issue, like ? I struggle with the bitsy lines on my cutter, yes it’s a Stampin up cutter, YAY 😁 One ☝️ box 📦 check✅ Two is actually the placement of layers, which I’m hoping the templates solve 🤷‍♀️ I’m not sure if you include, now don’t laugh 😹 ok 👌 laugh 😂 a diagram or picture of a ruler 📏 showing where n what each line belongs to each measurement like 4/8 or 3/16’s(if those are even correct measurements) ? 😝 Haaa Haa Heee believe it or not, I am a Demonstrator fairly new and run into this Problem like many …. I thought 💭 I could use our inches to say your metric, or visa versa uh hy no way , EVEEER AND IM MESSIGING YOU here, I guess because the other peeps that are out there having the exAct same problem can see it in writing ✍️ that even possibly their Demonstratore?! Has this struggle,,Ohhh yeah we alll Luv to hear 👂or leave a comment,OK,Well I went on long enough we should of done a LIVE 😂 😂🤣I hope my explanation was good ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND and I very much look forward to hearing back you should probably E-Mail me , would be more convenient for you,until then, Thank You for all that you give us!🇨🇦🦋💜
