For my 2nd set of cards in my 30 card “project”, I started with the My Mind’s Eye Cozy Christmas paper and switched to the Recollections Jingle Jolly paper again.

For my first card I used the aqua snowflake paper as the background and the red floral paper as the main focal point.  I added some darker paper for contrast and a few rhinestones for a bit more sparkle.

The second card uses red polka dot paper as the background.  The paper is very sparkly as all the “dots” have a glitter treatment.  The printed paper is a bit busy (has a faint text print in the background) so I kept the layout simple and added just a ribbon for an embellishment.

The next card used up the last of the aqua snowflake paper.  The main focal point is the village scene paper which has a glitter treatment on the Christmas tree stars.  To keep the card from being all rectangles, I fishtailed the end of the sentiment banner.

The forth card only used 1 pattern paper.  I added the red panel to pick up on the berries in the wreathes.  The green strip across the card was a bit plain so I added a couple stripes with some gold washi tape.  To finish the card I added a few gold brads.

I then switched to the Recollections Jingle Jolly paper and made a couple more cards.  I used the snowman paper again.  To separate the pink cardstock from the snowflake pattern paper I added a silver glitter washi tape strip.  And for some more sparkle I glittered the band and pom poms on a few of the snowmans hats.

For the next card, I used the stocking paper and stuck to a simple layout.  For a little sparkle, I added a few pink rhinestones.
