The New Year is just around the corner, many of us buy gifts for relatives and friends, decorate the house and bake birthday cakes.

As a rule, we remember one thing at the last moment - to send a New Year's card. As a result, at the last minute we rack our brains to come up with such a thing, and where to get a creative idea.

To save you time and energy, we've come up with 50 great New Year's card design concepts to inspire you with an original greeting.

So let's see.

01. Don't be predictable

This holiday card is somewhat unconventional. She doesn't stick to the standard Christmas red and green color palette, but uses blue and pink instead. There is not even a festive theme here, instead - only faint hints. Fresh and unexpected.

02. Play with illustrations

Elegant handwritten font along with cute children illustration. Children always decorate and enhance the holiday wish.

03. Keep it simple

Cards like these are a good example of breaking up the standard New Year's greetings template. Illustrations and handwritten inscriptions are made in the same color palette, making up a series of congratulations. And at the same time, each of your surroundings can receive a unique postcard. A great way to let people know they have a special place in your life.

04. Graphic style

The simple yet unique graphics of this greeting card offer an interesting retro feel. The layering of red and blue paint creates contrast and helps break up the repeatability of the pattern.

05. Using a 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 drawing. And as soon as you pull it out of the envelope, the congratulation itself appears in front of you. A fun and unique way to convey a personal greeting.

06. Feel free to style

It would seem a banal holiday card with a deer. But the intricate textured pattern and subtle white dots reminiscent of snow help balance the illustration and color background. Background gradient adds dimension

07. Using photos

This card is truly unique. All the figures on it are photographs, but since they are paired, the composition is illustrative. All the characters are the same two people, which adds a special personal flavor to the postcard.

08. Elegant to the touch

This design is extremely elegant. A thin pattern is used not only on a postcard, but also on an envelope. The contrast between the black postcard and the white envelope looks great. This congratulation is really sensual and exudes extra class.

09. Create simple illustrations

To surprise someone, you do not need to create artsy illustrations at all. With fast and simple graphics, you can achieve a cool effect. Take a look: the simple graphic Santa Claus hat stands out against the background, while the strong shadow gives the drawing a three-dimensional look. The simplicity of the pattern is paired with a little more frilly lettering to help strike a balance.

10. Add some sparkle

Who doesn't love glitter on New Year's Eve? On this postcard there are cones made of beautiful golden foil. The muted background further enhances the simple yet vibrant illustration.

11. Use metaphors

The holiday card features Santa Claus with his proverbial red bag full of presents. The inscription on the bag - "holiday 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 postcard. The use of some unusual illustrations along with winter greetings makes us associate with warm scarves and sweaters.

13. Festive images

This postcard shows George - but not quite your typical Yeti. He is huge, has horns, and for some reason loves Christmas.

14. Breaking tradition

At first glance, this card does not look like a Christmas card. The color scheme is not red-green, symbols and images are also not festive. But that's what makes it unique. Simply adding the message "Merry Christmas" makes the design instantly themed.

15. Use Symbols

The graphic circles on this postcard symbolize Christmas decoration balls. Visually, these elements are not so obvious, but paired with a banner of seasonal greetings, you immediately feel the festive spirit.

16. Retro style

An example of a vintage Christmas classic. The beige color with red trim, subtle textures and typeface evoke a retro feel. Nostalgia makes congratulations truly deep and sensual, but at the same time light and cheerful.

17. Use interactivity

Very funny, quirky and unexpected postcard. The colors are not at all festive, there is no New Year theme either. But, it is worth pulling the tongue - “Happy Holidays” appears, and the card immediately becomes festive. Such a congratulation is ideal 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 postcard.

19. Use of negative space

Here white and blue are used together to create interesting negative space effects. White snow seeps into the cold blue of the mountains, and at the same time looks like tinsel around the snow-covered trees.

20. Get industrial

This postcard uses industrial motifs in a very clever way. The design contains a whole phrase, and spins it, turning it into a joke at the end. The drawing has the general shape of a Christmas tree, which is crowned by a printer with a star. Very simple, but incredibly funny and effective.

21. Using Silhouettes

The soft and vibrant colors used in this design bring your attention to the middle of the composition. White soft blurry silhouettes turn into feathers and snowflakes. They work together with beautiful color blocks 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 destroying the "2" and "6", making these numbers illegible. This allows the recipient to think of the message on their own.

23. Create something from something

Festive themed icons come together to form the iconic Christmas image, the Reindeer. You can clearly see each icon separately. To balance out the rather heavy, design-wise image, it is surrounded by round snowballs.

24. Symbiosis of typography and illustration

On this card, decorative embellishments are falling from greeting messages. Ornaments, despite the 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 look less flat. Very subtle, but very effective technique.

26. Put together all the holiday paraphernalia

Do your friends celebrate Hanukkah? Then the idea to collect a bunch of cute little things in one illustration - the attributes of this holiday is just for you. And for those who do not celebrate this Jewish holiday, it will still be interesting to receive such a postcard as an informational and educational greeting.

27. Add a sense of humor

A kitten that is tangled up in a festive 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. Everything is here: from a Santa Claus hat to a birthday cake. These postcards will show your designer friend where to go creatively next year.

29. Some more glitter

Here the congratulatory text is filled with silver. It is reflected in the light and symbolizes the hope that all plans will come true. The contrast with the yellowish golden paper offsets the silver of the letters.

30. Write your own greeting

A handwritten message adorns the back of this postcard. The unique personal touch makes it individual.

31. Postcards made by hand

Unique hand-drawn technique. Everything, from the font to the images, is handmade and truly personalized. Of course, it would be much cooler to make many unique postcards for all friends and relatives with your own hands. But it’s more efficient to make one and multiply. Still, it will retain the handmade feeling, and you will not be awake at night, drawing postcards to countless people you know.

32. Break the stereotypes

The outward inconsistency in the design of this postcard gives it a mathematical, scientific look. 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 image manipulation, the image of a Christmas tree appeared on the card, and the message inside the card adds to the mood.

34. Adding Volume to Text

A bright and cheerful snowman stands out against a patterned background. If the white text did not have red accents, then it would “melt” against the background and would not be so obvious. The red color helps to 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 subject, it is clear - in fact, this is a pen tool, designed in the form of a Christmas tree. A great way to send your best wishes to a colleague and entertain them at the same time.

36. Push people to get creative

An insert inside such a postcard allows people to create their own design with deer and trees. The card is not only cheerful, but will also serve as a kind of element of the New Year's decor in the house.

37. Refuse the postcard

In today's technological world, paper postcards can generally be seen as an anachronism. Instead of sending a physically existing postcard, create a custom email greeting. This will not only allow you to send it to many people at the same time and without postage costs, but also save paper.

38. Traditions Illustrated

The design of the postcard illustrates the American tradition of Christmas pickles - a cucumber hung on a Christmas tree. The one who finds pickles hanging on the Christmas tree will have good luck in 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 typeface with a dense, sans-serif typeface provides good contrast. If only one font was used in this design, then 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 is a holiday 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 an ordinary strip, very conveniently interrupted by the image of a deer. The use of different types of fonts creates a peculiar texture.

41. Create your own greeting font

Font consisting of solid stripes and striped parts. By adding something personal to a regular font, we make the recipient feel special.

42. Use of geometric shapes

The geometric shapes used in this design form a Christmas tree. Incredibly simple, but truly original. Green stripes also imitate needles - a great solution.

43. Add functionality

But this design gives a new meaning to warm wishes. The card itself is made from a thin sheet of wood, and you are encouraged to actually burn it to keep warm.

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 connected with the products.

45. Handwritten congratulations

Handwritten wishes give the cards an organic and joyful look. The inscriptions are made to fill the entire space, as a result of which they 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 of the bottom of the background grounds and adds volume to the whole design.

47. An ordinary look in an unusual way

Here Santa Claus looks very fun and interesting. Instead of showing off the red color of the suit, it blends into the background so that we see only isolated fragments. Even if you can’t see where everything ends and begins, your eyes still accurately recognize the image.

48. Have fun with a postcard

When sending a New Year's card, you don't have to be serious at all. This design can cheer up the recipient. A white sheep is paired with a wish that is written in a way that makes you imitate sheep bleating.

49. Kaleidoscope

There are no inscriptions at all. Yes, they are not needed in this design. The nature of the painted Christmas decorations is quite complex and detailed. And subtle silver foil accents add a winter holiday vibe.

50. Blurring the boundaries

Before us is a wonderful interweaving of letters and illustrations. The words "joy", "love" and "peace" are intertwined to form a Christmas tree. The dot in 'J' is the star, and the subtle dotted accents work as a garland. All this gives the card something special.

Do not know how to congratulate your loved ones on the New Year in an original way or how to draw a New Year's card?

Make a gift with your own hands. Such a present will bring joy doubly, because it is made with love. Making a postcard will not take you much time. Take note of how to make a postcard for the New Year.

A New Year's card can contain any drawing of a festive theme: a Christmas tree, a snowman, Santa Claus, a Snow Maiden or a symbol of the coming year. You can take any photo as the basis of a New Year's card.

Let's try to draw a dog in a Santa Claus hat with a pencil:

1. We take a landscape sheet.
   We start the drawing with a dog. We draw the head and muzzle. With curved lines we outline the center of the head and the location of the eyes. We make these lines barely noticeable in order to erase them later.
2. We draw ears.
   And we sketch the hat. We make the vertical line from head to paws not too noticeable.
3. Now let's draw the rim of the cap, the tip and the bubo.
4. On the prepared lines, draw the dog's eyes, nose and mouth.
5. Now you need to erase the circle with which we marked the muzzle of the little animal.
   In this place, short lines need to draw wool. We apply wool with strokes around the eyes, nose and mouth.
6. Then we wipe the oval of the head, and in this place we draw wool.
   We make our dog curly by applying strokes to the ears and head.
7. With a harder pencil, paint over the eyes and nose, auricles.
8. By the same principle, we make the rim of the cap and the bubo fluffy.
   With slightly curved lines we make bends on the cap.
9. We process the dark areas of the picture by pressing hard on the pencil.
10. Now we need to draw the background of the New Year card.
    In the upper right corner, draw a Christmas tree branch, hang a garland on it. On the edges of the postcard, you can draw Christmas decorations and fireworks. We will decorate the free space with snowflakes. At the bottom, in the remaining place, we will make the inscription "Happy New Year!"

Do-it-yourself New Year's card is ready. You can color it in with colored pencils or leave it as is. Show your imagination and make the background as you wish. Put such a gift under the Christmas tree, and it will surely bring joy.

Bullfinches on a branch

Let's try to draw a color card "Bullfinches on a branch".

We need a sheet of paper, simple and colored pencils:

1. On a piece of paper we make a sketch of two spruce branches on which our birds will sit.
2. We imagine how the snow will lie on the branches, and draw its contours.
3. Now you need to erase the lines of the branches and draw the tubercles where the bullfinches will sit. There are only three birds.
4. We make a sketch of two cones that will hang on the lower branch.
5. We draw the upper bullfinch: its body, head, beak and wing. Draw the belly and tail of the bird.
6. We turn to the second bullfinch, to which we depict the head, back, wing, chest and beak.
7. We depict the third bird by drawing the head, beak, wing, chest, tail.
8. We paint over with a dark color the heads, wings and backs of the bullfinches. And red is the belly.
9. With a green pencil, with dashed movements, draw needles on the branches of the Christmas tree. We depict them close to each other, making them slightly curved. Let's go over the needles with a light green pencil, making them more realistic.
10. With a brown pencil, draw two cones and branches visible between the needles.
11. We take a blue pencil and shade the snow on the branches. And in purple we draw additional shadows.

The postcard is ready. You can draw some New Year's symbols on the background or leave it as it is, making the inscription "Happy New Year!" Put such a postcard with your own hands on the festive table or give it as a gift.

We draw Santa Claus near the Christmas tree

On New Year's Eve, you can not do without the main symbol of this holiday - Christmas trees.

Let's draw a postcard with the image of Santa Claus with a bag of gifts, standing near the New Year's beauty:

1. We think over where our postcard characters will be depicted. On the left is Santa Claus. We draw the nose, mustache, eyes and the bottom of the cap.
2. Now let's draw a hat with a bubo.
3. Draw the beard and mouth.
4. Next, we depict a fur coat, sleeves, felt boots and mittens. The sleeves are decorated with white. Santa Claus is ready.
5. Then we depict a Christmas tree, standing to the right of Grandfather. To do this, you need to depict the upper left branch of the Christmas tree, making it slightly curved. On the opposite side, you must try to draw the same branch. We draw the following branches, making them slightly larger than the upper ones. We should have three tiers.
6. Near Santa Claus, in the center of the Christmas tree, draw a bag of arbitrary shape with gifts.
7. We give our characters a realistic look by decorating the Christmas tree with toys and garlands, as well as a five-pointed star. Draw folds on the bag.
8. You can draw a shadow from Santa Claus, a Christmas tree and a bag.

Make the inscription "New Year", and a beautiful postcard is ready. Give your child crayons or felt-tip pens and let them help you decorate the card for a lively look.

New Year's socks

The tradition of putting gifts in socks came to us from the West. Santa Claus, having made his way into the house through the chimney, puts gifts in socks that hang on the fireplace.

Let's try to draw a postcard with the image of New Year's socks:

1. We will draw three socks hanging on the fireplace. Let's start with the right sock: draw the fur part of the stocking and draw two parallel lines from it. Then draw the nose of the sock.
2. Decorate the entire length of the stocking with snowflakes and patterns.
3. According to this scheme, draw the remaining two socks.
4. Using a ruler, draw two straight lines - this will be the crossbar.
5. We add loops to the socks on which they hang.
6. You can depict the contents of the stockings: some kind of toy or caramel stick.

To complete the postcard, paint the socks red, the crossbar black, and don't forget to paint the toys. On a postcard, you can write a New Year's greeting, a poem or a song, as well as the standard phrase "Happy New Year!"

How to draw a New Year's card, you understand. Such a postcard can decorate an apartment, a New Year's table, put it under the Christmas tree or give it to relatives and friends.

Now stock up on fantasy, paper, pencils and start creating.

Ask your child to help you with this fun activity and have fun supervising the process.
