Inspiration and Design Idea's: 35 Amazing New Year Cards
If we're being honest, there's a handful of things that happened this year that I would love to leave behind. On the upside though, there are also awesome ones that I would like to carry along with me for a long time. I'm sure a lot of people are thinking the same way as we count down the days till the end of the year, even to the extent of creating a list of resolutions to do, working to break old habits, coming up with a "gratitude list", or updating bucket lists. Whatever it is that you want to keep and however you want to spend the rest of 2014, New Year's eve is really something to celebrate and give a toast to.
Why not share these thoughts to loved ones? Your family and friends would surely appreciate your expression of love and good wishes this coming year, so why not hand them out a New Year card? Can't think of anything nice to give? Don't worry - As always, we got you covered. We have 20 (+15, so that really makes them 35) New Year card designs waiting for you. Whether you're looking for something festive, traditional, minimalistic, or colorful and vibrant, we had this list tailored for you.
Happy holidays, everyone, and may you have a joy-filled year ahead of you!

Finally, someone spoke his mind. Well, it's not far from reality that some decades ago, we might have imagined that by this time we are already too far advanced when it comes to technology, so much ahead of our time when it comes to innovation that we can easily transport to another planet or something. Sea and Lake had the same mindset when it comes to this, but sadly it's not our reality yet. Nice try, though.

I decided to surprise my wife with a t-shirt with the first picture with us as a couple. The guys from DesignAShirt are very professional and they helped me chose a design that my wife would love. Decent prices and the quality is topnotch, the shirt went through at least 20 washes and it looks great.
Every company has errors, but so far I have gotten everything I have ordered on time or before, even with their 2 day shipping.
Everything always comes out great and I will be returning for all my needs. The products are high quality and the person I was working with was very helpful
Using the holiday sale offer saved a nice amount on my holiday cards offer. Their quality was good, colours were vibrant and the stock was of good quality. Most importantly: delivery wa on time (2 days later) Like every year I was late with my order, so there wern't a lot of options to get my cards done in time. When i saw the offer from Overnight prints i took it, and looking back im glad i did.
I love Cafepress for it's one of a kind, unique products. Whenever i am looking for a unique gift i shop at Cafepress. Their products are high quality, customer service is great (they will send free replacement if something is off) and prices are reasonable.
Overnight Prints rocks when it comes to turnaround times and reliability!
It was Wednesday evening and i needed print material for a Friday evening event. I needed the prints to be ready and delivered to my office on Friday afternoon at the latest. None of the printing companies on this site were able to deliver this quickly, but Overnight Prints.
I did contact 2 local print shops as well - time wise they could schedule my prints to be delivered on time - but the price was 2 times higher compared to Overnight Prints.
Before i placed the order i contacted Overnight Prints over the phone, and they assured me they could meet the delivery time that was mentioned on their website.
After placing the order i read some negative reviews on Yelp about Overnight Prints, which made me very nervous and left me thinking i would seriously regret going with them.
Friday morning the prints were delivered at my office (11:00) and the quality was excellent! Just what i needed: good prints delivered on time.
I rarely use reviews on the web, but Overnight Prints saved my life on this-one. Thank you for that!
