We have met up a few times over the years and social media of course means that we are able to keep in pretty regular contact. Recently I was excited to wake up to a Whatsapp from Dani telling me that she had got engaged to her partner of 7 years, Brendan. I know that she appreciates my handmade cards since she has ordered a few for her friends, so I decided to make the couple a card to mark their engagement.
I cut out their names and added some hearts and a banner marking the date of their engagement to the design. Of course, once I had finished, I realised that I had written the date using the British English format and not American English! Oh well, I guess I'm a Brit and that's the way I write the date.
I realise I forgot to share the card I made for my niece and her new husband when they got married last October. You may remember the trip I made to the UK and the lovely places we visited. The invitation we received for the wedding was in gold lettering, so I decided to create a design using white stock and a yellow (in place of gold) paper inlay. In fact, the colour scheme for the wedding turned out to be a gorgeous autumnal rust-brown. It was a beautiful wedding!* This post has been shared on Little Things Thursday, Crafty Creators Link Party, Creatively Crafty Link Party and Thursday Favorite Things.

My goodness! The detail! You amaze me!
Your beautiful cut-out cards are perfect for a wedding. Congratulations to you and both couples. Lovely.
These cards are great! You did a beautiful job.
The process photos are cool to see! Both cards are beautiful. Yellow is so cheery!
Both beautiful cards. I do love your paper cuts. xx
You must thank Zoe and Max for having wonderful names. Or thank their parents. Imagine your work if their names were Nebuchadnezer and Felicity-Delphinian
Oh these are fabulous! Your friend is going to love it regardless of what date format you used.
These are beautiful. I love the coloured backgrounds. x
