Wedding Cards + MSE Cutoffs Challenge

My box of cards at work ran out of wedding type cards just before I went on holiday so I thought I'd better make some more - I made the white card first but liked it so much I made a variation on the theme.  The pewter card is pearlescent - don;t know if that shows up too well and the die-cuts are by Lily of the Valley. 

I also made an anniversary type card.  Which I thought could also be used for an engagement.

Then another notebook - not so happy with this one - didn't occur to me that if I punched the bottom it would mean that paper would show quite that much - will have to remember to punch before sticking it to the pad next time!

And finally, my MSE challenge card to make a card from off-cuts from other projects.  I hope this counts - most of my cards are from off-cuts anyway - its very rare that I start a new piece of paper off.  Anyhow, I've been cutting any small scraps into squares for a while now as I've been meaning to do a mosaic effect on a scrapbook page.  The letters are off-cuts too in a way as they're cut out on the cuttlebug from a die that has 4 letter per die so you end up cutting out more letters than you actually need. You can see a 'P' and an 'H' came from the wedding cards and notepad above.  I keep them all in a box and was hoping they'd "come in useful" - and they have - although I did have to cut an 'A' and a 'Y' out I was short of those - I'm hoping those 2 letters will count as the die-cut I'm supposed to be using as part of the challenge.

Engagement Card using glass templates. Thanks Marg!

I posted an engagement card that I made for a work colleague a few weeks ago - well this is the card I was planning to make but just couldn't find a champagne glass template anywhere.

Marg from the MSE forum very kindly sent me some word art style images (now why didn't I think of that - genius!) and I used one of them as a template.

I doing to place it in the card box at work. I wanted to make it though as a thanks to Marg and because I never like to let a card beat me!

Engagement Congratulations

A work colleague announced her engagement today.

I'm off next week so had to get her card done tonight.

Searched FOR EVER to find a template of some champagne glasss to cut out. Didn't find any but spent all the time I should have been making the card looking so had to cobble something simple together from my stash.
