I like these, I agree with the need for a second colour, as for the cutting, I bought a cutter from the local scrapbooking store, , if you don't want to purchase one, drop by or call the store and tell them what you are up to, they will usually allow you to use there supplies if you buy product. You might find some really nice patterned paper that you could use for the boarding pass sleeve. They will also loan you a corner punch. Walmart and Target also carry cutting supplies.
Good luck.
