If you missed your chance to send out Christmas cards, there are many New Years card designs that will let you send a handmade greeting to your friends and family during the holiday season.
Ideas for New Years Card Designs
While it’s traditionally more common to send Christmas cards, New Years cards are becoming increasingly popular. New Years card designs reflect the fun and festive atmosphere surrounding the holiday. For example:
- Noisemakers
- Party hats
- Confetti
- Music notes
- People dancing
- Candles
- Stars, swirls, and other simple geometric shapes
As an alternative, you could also design a card with a traditional winter motif such as snowflakes or snowmen.
To add sparkle to your homemade greeting, consider incorporating embellishments such as tiny beads, rhinestone brads, shimmering ribbon bows, or stickers enhanced with metallic glitter into the card making design of your choice.
Quotes for New Years Cards
If you’re looking for a quote to add to your homemade greeting, check out the following words of wisdom:
- “New Years Day is every man's birthday.” --Charles Lamb
- “Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.” --Oprah Winfrey
- “Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can instill in us.” --Hal Borland
- “Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each new year find you a better man.” --Benjamin Franklin
- “We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Years Day.” –Edith Lovejoy Pierce
Of course, there are many humorous New Years quotes as well. For example:
- “Youth is when you're allowed to stay up late on New Years Eve. Middle age is when you're forced to.” --Bill Vaughn
- “An optimist stays up until midnight to see the new year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.” --Bill Vaughn
- “New Years Day… now is the accepted time to make your regular annual good resolutions. Next week you can begin paving hell with them as usual.” –Mark Twain
- “I'm a little bit older, a little bit wiser, a little bit rounder, but still none the wiser.” –Robert Paul
- “New year, same goal.” –Joe King
- “I do think New Years resolutions can't technically be expected to begin on New Years Day, don't you? Since, because it's an extension of New Years Eve, smokers are already on a smoking roll and cannot be expected to stop abruptly on the stroke of midnight with so much nicotine in the system. Also dieting on New Years Day isn't a good idea as you can't eat rationally but really need to be free to consume whatever is necessary, moment by moment, in order to ease your hangover. I think it would be much more sensible if resolutions began generally on January the second” – Helen Fielding
