Hello there, Shemaine here today. The holiday push is on as we are less than a week away from Christmas. Anyone else still making holiday cards like me? Well, today I am sharing some inspiration for New Year’s and last-minute Christmas cards with transfer foils and card fronts from Brutus Monroe.

Be Merry Cards with Brutus Monroe

Let’s start off the inspiration with a Celebrate card. It’s almost the new year and this card says let’s celebrate!

Celebrate Card

Using the Really Radiant card fronts and Pewter Ripples transfer sheet, I foil a couple sheets to use for my cards.

I also foiled some toner sheets with gold static transfer sheets.

I cut a border to use for my card.

Next, I embossed a strip of white cardstock.

Using a sticker, I adhere it over the embossed cardstock. Then I adhere to the card base and also the foiled toner sheet. Next, I layer the border strip with adhesive strip tape.

Cutting a circle die, I layer to the card base and adhere the Celebrate sentiment with UltraBond adhesive and then finish with some decorative stars.

Peace Tree Card

For the next card, using a toner sheet and some green sketch transfer sheet I foil and die cut the tree die from Brutus Monroe

Taking the foiled toner card front I adhered it to the card base.

Then I layered the foiled tree and adhered it to the card base with 3D foam squares.

Next, I stamped some sentiments from an older Simon Says Stamp set.

Next, I cut them all out to color.

Using the 3D foam squares. I adhered the Peace sentiment to the die-cut tree.

The finished card is fun and festive!

Merry Shaker Card

For the last card, I wanted to use the same die but a different design. So I decided to try out a shaker card using the die-cut tree on the inside of the shaker.

I started by foiling the toner card front.

Next, I backed it with some of the green cardstock I used on the first card. I then placed the tree die-cut in the center and cut it out so the silhouette would be cut out in the center. Then I adhered a piece of the clear designer toner sheet.
