To save you time and energy, here are 50 great New Year card design concepts to inspire your original greetings.
So let's take a look.
01.Don't be predictable
This holiday card is a little unconventional. She doesn't stick to the standard Christmas red and green color palette, but instead uses blue and pink colors. There is not even a holiday theme here, instead there are only faint hints. Fresh and unexpected.
02. Play with illustrations
An elegant handwritten font along with a cute illustration of children. Children always decorate and enhance holiday wishes.
03. Keep it simple
Postcards like these are a good example of breaking the standard pattern New Year's greetings. Illustrations and handwritten inscriptions are made in the same color palette, composing a series of congratulations. And at the same time, everyone around you can receive a unique postcard. A great way to let people feel what they care about special place in your life.
04. Graphic style
Simple but unique graphics of this greeting card offers an interesting retro style. The layering of red and blue paint creates contrast and helps break up the repetitiveness of the pattern.
05. Using paper sleeve
Here the postcard is equipped with an interactive element - the use of a paper sleeve with a round hole. When you pick up a card, you see a festive themed design. And as soon as you pull it out of the envelope, the congratulation itself appears in front of you. Funny and unique way convey personal congratulations.
06. Don't be shy about styling
It would seem like a banal holiday card with a deer. But, the complex textured pattern and subtle white dots reminiscent of snow help balance the illustration and the colored background. Background gradient adds volume
07. Using photos
This card is truly unique. All the figures on it are photographs, but since they are paired, the composition is illustrative in nature. All the characters are the same two people, which adds a special personal touch to the postcard.
08. Elegant to the touch
This design is extremely elegant. Fine drawing used not only on the postcard, but also on the envelope. The contrast between the black card and the white envelope looks really cool. This greeting is really sensual and exudes extra class.
09. Create simple illustrations
To surprise someone, you don’t need to create elaborate illustrations. With quick and simple graphics you can achieve a cool effect. Take a look: the simple graphic Santa hat stands out from the background, while the strong shadow gives the design a three-dimensional look. The simplicity of the design is juxtaposed with slightly more ornate lettering, which helps achieve balance.
10. Add sparkle
Who doesn't love sparkle during the New Year holidays? This card features pine cones made of beautiful gold foil. The muted background makes the simple yet striking illustration stand out even more.
11. Use metaphors
The holiday card features Santa Claus with his iconic red bag full of gifts. The inscription on the bag is “ festive mood"- conveys the main idea of the design.
12. Use literal imagery
Warm holiday wishes paired with detailed illustrations of cozy knitted pieces are the basis of this card. The use of slightly unusual illustrations along with winter greetings makes us associate warm scarves and sweaters.
13. Holiday looks
This card features George - but not your typical Yeti. He's huge, has antlers, and for some reason loves Christmas.
14. Breaking traditions
At first glance, this card doesn't look like a Christmas card. The color scheme is not red and green, the symbols and images are not festive either. But this is what makes the card unique. Simply adding the message “Merry Christmas” immediately makes the design themed.
15. Use symbols
The graphic circles on this card symbolize Christmas tree decorations. Visually, these elements are not so obvious, but paired with a seasonal greetings banner, you can immediately feel the festive spirit.
16. Retro style
An example of a vintage New Year's classic. Beige color With red trim, the subtle textures and font evoke a retro feel. Nostalgia makes congratulations truly deep and sensual, but at the same time light and cheerful.
17. Use interactivity
A very funny, quirky and unexpected card. The colors are not festive at all, New Year theme also no. But, as soon as you pull your tongue, “Happy Holidays” appears, and the card immediately becomes festive. This greeting is perfect for creative people or teams
18. Use illustrations as backgrounds
The design of this greeting would be great even if it used a simple black background. Adding winter themed illustrations to the background enhances the mood. The texture of branches and snow adds space to the card.
19. Using Negative Space
Here white and blue colors are used together to create interesting effects with negative space. White snow seeps into the cold blue of the mountains, and at the same time looks like tinsel around the snow-covered trees.
20. Add an industrial feel
This card uses industrial motifs in a very clever way. The design takes a whole phrase and spins it, turning it into a joke at the end. The drawing has general shape Christmas tree, which is crowned with a printer with a star. Very simple, but incredibly funny and effective.
21. Using silhouettes
Soft and bright colors The colors used in this design focus your attention on the middle of the composition. White soft blurry silhouettes turn into feathers and snowflakes. They work together with beautiful blocks of color to create a deep shape. As a result, the ornament looks three-dimensional.
22. Let others fill in the gaps.
Similar to the previous example, here the colors also create a nice background in the center of the composition. However, in this card, the background color forms the inscription "2016", while simultaneously destroying the "2" and "6", making these numbers illegible. This allows the recipient to come up with the message themselves.
23. Create something from something
Holiday themed icons come together to form an iconic Christmas image - reindeer. You can clearly see each icon individually. To balance the rather heavy image from a design point of view, it is surrounded by round snowballs.
24. Symbiosis of typography and illustration
On this postcard decorative ornaments fall from congratulatory messages. Ornaments, despite simple form, create a bright, festive spirit. The inclusion of triangular shapes and snowflakes gives the decorations extra charm.
25. Texture mapping
This design uses texture to make the card less flat. A very subtle, but very effective technique.
26. Gather all your holiday paraphernalia together
Do your friends celebrate Hanukkah? Then the idea of collecting a bunch of cute little things in one illustration—the attributes of this holiday—is just for you. And those who do not celebrate this Jewish holiday will still be interested in receiving such a postcard as an informational and educational greeting.
27. Add a sense of humor
A kitten that gets tangled in a holiday garland will make anyone smile. The image itself is funny, but paired with the ironic phrase: “I can explain everything” next to the kitten, it simply sparkles with humor.
28. Use flat icons
Flat Christmas themed icons decorate the background of this holiday greeting. There's everything from a Santa hat to a birthday cake. Such postcards will show your designer friend where to go in the future. creatively next year.
29. A little more sparkle
Here the congratulatory text is filled with silver. It is reflected in the light and symbolizes the hope that everything planned will come true. The contrast with the yellowish golden paper offsets the silver of the letters.
30. Write your own greeting
Handwritten message decorate reverse side this postcard. The unique personal contact makes it individual.
31. Handmade cards
A unique hand-drawn technique. Everything from the font to the imagery is handcrafted and truly personalized. Of course, it would be much cooler to make a lot of unique cards with your own hands for all your friends and relatives. But it’s more effective to make one and multiply it. She'll still keep the feeling self made, and you won't stay awake at night drawing cards to countless people you know.
32. Break the stereotypes
The apparent inconsistency of this card's design gives it a mathematical, scientific view. However, the letters, which at first glance seem like formulas, add up to a cheerful holiday greeting
33. Manipulate Photo Images
Here, photos of two clinking beer mugs transform beer foam into something festive. Thanks to the manipulation of images, the image of a Christmas tree appears on the card, and the message inside the card adds to the mood.
34. Adding volume to text
Bright and funny snowman stands out against the patterned background. If white text did not have red accents, then it would have “melted” into the background and was not so obvious. The color red helps highlight and draw attention to the lettering.
35. Make a joke
This holiday card will be appreciated by many designers. To non-designers, it looks like a simple graphic Christmas tree. For those who are in the know, it’s clear - in fact, this is a pen tool, designed in the shape of a Christmas tree. Great way send best wishes colleague and at the same time entertain him.
36. Push people to be creative
An insert inside this card allows people to create their own deer and tree designs. The card is not only funny, but will also serve as a unique element of New Year's decor in the house.
37. Ditch the postcard.
In today's technological world, paper cards can generally be seen as an anachronism. Instead of sending a physical card, create a custom email greeting. This will not only allow you to send it to many people at the same time and without the cost of postage, but will also save paper.
38. Traditions Illustrated
The card design illustrates the American tradition of Christmas pickles - a cucumber hung on the tree. Anyone who finds pickles hanging from a Christmas tree will have good luck for the coming year. A somewhat unusual and humorous choice of illustration for a greeting card.
39. Combining different fonts
The combination of a thin, italic font with a thick, sans serif font provides good contrast. If this design only used one font, it would dominate the composition. The combination we see in this design always works well, including on greeting cards.
40. Congratulations for everyone
Christmas and New Year are a holiday that is celebrated all over the world. Here is a design that includes traditional greetings in various languages. All of them are collected in the form of a regular stripe, very conveniently interrupted by the image of a deer. Using fonts various types creates a unique texture.
41. Create your own greeting font
A font consisting of solid stripes and striped parts. By adding something personal to a plain font, we make the recipient feel special.
42. Using geometric shapes
The geometric shapes used in this design form a Christmas tree. Incredibly simple, but truly original. Green stripes also imitate pine needles - an excellent solution.
43. Add functionality
But this design gives new meaning Warm wishes. The card itself is made of thin sheet wood, and you are invited to actually burn it, thereby warming up.
44. Get creative with food
This special holiday card uses real cookies and powdered sugar. A fun twist from boring graphics to a themed greeting. Especially if you want to congratulate partners who are somehow related to the products.
45. Congratulations written by hand
Handwritten wishes give cards an organic and joyful look. The lettering is designed to fill the entire space, making it feel like a full-fledged illustration.
46. Let the message speak for itself
Here, the phrase stands out against the bluish-green background and speaks for itself, while the texture at the bottom of the background grounds and adds dimension to the entire design.
47. An ordinary look in an unusual way
Here Santa Claus looks very cheerful and interesting. Instead of showing off the red color of the suit, it blends into the background, causing us to only see bits and pieces. Even if you can't see where things end and begin, your eyes still recognize the image unmistakably.
48. Have fun with a card
There's no need to be serious when sending a New Year's card. This design can bring joy to the recipient. A white sheep is paired with a wish that is written in a way that makes you imitate the bleating of a sheep.
49. Kaleidoscope
There are no inscriptions at all. Yes, they are not needed in this design. The nature of the painted Christmas tree decorations is quite complex and detailed. And subtle silver foil accents add a winter holiday feel.
50. Blurring boundaries
Before us is a wonderful interweaving of letters and illustrations. The words “joy”, “love” and “peace” intertwine to form a Christmas tree. The dot in the 'J' is a star, and the subtle dotted accents act as a garland. All this gives the card something special.
The best gift for the New Year is, of course, a gift made with your own hands.

Even a modest souvenir accompanied beautiful postcard made with your own hands will be an excellent gift. Such a card will not only convey warm wishes, but will also become an excellent home decor. We are sharing ways to make amazing New Year cards easily and simply.
1. Almost knitted card
You can put the leftover knitting yarn to work by making a DIY New Year's card out of it. Cut out a triangle from cardboard that will become a Christmas tree, generously coat it with glue and wrap it with colored thread. The more colors of yarn you use, the better. Then glue the Christmas tree onto a regular card and decorate it further if desired.
2. Contrasting textile applique
Pieces of brightly colored fabrics are useful for creating cards. Choose textiles that will not crumble. Cut out simple figures from fabric - Christmas trees, Christmas balls, animals - and glue them onto white postcard. Contrasting color combinations look most impressive.
3. Balls and ribbons
Using ribbons in decoration is a win-win solution for those who want to create a festive mood. Draw the outlines of a New Year's ball on paper or lay it out using glued beads, and place a bow tied from a narrow ribbon in the upper part. The presence of three-dimensional elements makes the decorative card very original.
4. Christmas tree with voluminous branches
Twist out multicolored paper thin tubes. Lubricate one of the edges with glue so that it does not unfold. Then glue tubes of different lengths onto the card. The postcard with a three-dimensional Christmas tree is ready.
5. Laconic stripes
Fans of minimalism will appreciate a discreet but effective card, where Christmas tree branches are made from strips of paper. The only decoration of such a postcard is the decorative seam on the paper branches and the frame along the edges of its front part.
6. Fragrant message
A card that not only looks great, but also smells great - really... a pleasant surprise. Use cinnamon or vanilla sticks as the basis for a decorative composition, surrounding them with New Year's tinsel, beads, and pictures.
7. Winter lace
White lace becomes snow-covered Christmas tree branches, and sequins glued to it become New Year's balls. For the background, use any paper pastel shade or textured fabric, such as burlap.
8. Simple drawing
Even a simple drawing on a New Year's card can look impressive. In order for the card to look noble, pay special attention to the accuracy of its application. We also recommend using rough craft or snow-white glossy paper.
9. Sewing on paper
The easy way to make the card three-dimensional - sew on any paper shape with one seam running through the center and bend its edges. You can also use several figures of the same shape, stitching them with a common seam, and gluing one of them as a background. Then the image will be even more voluminous.
10. With quilling elements
Quilling is the art of creating decorative compositions from strips of paper. It will not be possible to fully master it in a couple of days before the New Year, but it is quite possible to apply certain techniques in decorating a postcard. Circles of twisted narrow strips of paper become New Year's balls, and a green Christmas tree curved line drawn on a postcard.
11. Combination of several different textures
Another simple way to diversify the usual appliqué is to use materials with a different texture. For example, knitted fabric, cardboard, ordinary thin paper. Then, despite the simple shape of the elements, the postcard will look non-trivial.
12. Eye-catching contrasts
It is not at all necessary to use white paper as the base of the card and make the applique bright. Do the opposite and decorative composition will sparkle with new colors.
13. Either an inscription or a drawing
To apply inscriptions and designs, choose paint that contrasts with the paper base. The more intricate and decorative the inscription, the better. Don't forget to surround it with small ones simple drawings.
14. Lovely landscape
A simple landscape applique will become a real decoration for a New Year’s card. Complete it with voluminous elements - cotton wool imitating snow, beads, sequins, and even chains. This DIY New Year's card looks very cozy.
15. Elegant brutality
