Hi Crafty Friend, Taylor here! This year has absolutely flown by and 2026 is on the horizon. Can you believe it? The start of a new year always feels like a fresh page to me. It is a great time to reflect, set some intentions, and share a little encouragement with the people you care about.

A handmade note is such a meaningful way to send good vibes into the new year. You can create New Year cards for the people you love, remind them how much they mean to you, and wish them well as a new year begins.

Our New Year Cheer release was created to help you make quick, simple, and stunning projects that share new year joy without adding stress to a busy season. These pieces are designed to mix and match with products you may already have, so it is easy to pull together polished, celebration-worthy cards in no time.

Jen Shults created fun cards for New Years! One has colorful balloons that pop beautifully against a black background using the new New Year Cheer Stamp and Die Combo. For her second card, she put a creative spin on the new Snarky Insiders by foiling the panel and bringing it right to the front, then pairing it with Big Grumpy for the perfect touch of New Year humor.

Lori Craig kept things sleek and striking with simple color combos of white and gold and black, silver, and gold. She used the new Foil It – Acetate Framed Fireworks to layer a sparkling New Year’s Eve fireworks scene that feels festive, elegant, and full of celebration!

Deby Bauer made two bright and cheery New Year cards that feel like a little celebration on paper! One features the new Pixie Dust Background Stamp paired with the 5 O’Clock Somewhere Stamp & Stencil Combo. The other uses the New Year Cheer Stamp and Die Combo with Disco Foil Cardstock for a pop of sparkle and shine.

Emily Mydlowski went classic and chic with her New Year cards, using a timeless black, white, and gold color combo with the New Year Cheer Stamp & Die Combo and new Foil It-Shine On New Year. Her projects feel fresh, festive, and full of sparkle for welcoming 2026 in style!
