Step 1: Swap Out the Existing Photo

Firstly, you’ll want to change your template’s existing photo to one of your own. To do this, click on the photo you wish to change, then click Replace from the Image Properties panel. Alternatively, you can drag and drop any photo from your desktop or choose one from your Image Manager.

Step 2: Customize Your New Year’s Card Text

Now it’s time to personalize your New Year greeting card with your own text. Double-click on the text box you wish to edit, then type in what you want it to say.

You’ll also notice when you have a textbox selected, a Text Properties panel will appear on the left. From here, you can change the font, font color, letter spacing, and so much more.

Step 3: Customize the Graphics

If you wish to add any graphics to your New Year card, then you can do so by navigating to the Graphics tab in the main menu, followed by Search Graphics to access our huge library.

Click on any graphics you wish to use within your greeting card. These will then be available in the Your Graphics section once you exit the Graphics Library.

Want to change the colors of any graphics? Just click the graphic or shape you wish to change, and a Graphic Properties panel appears. From here, you can adjust the color overlay, tint, drop shadow, and more.

Step 4: Change the Existing Background Color (Optional)

If you want to change the background color of your existing New Year card design, navigate to Customize in the main menu. Then, select a new color from the swatches underneath Background Color. Clicking on the first swatch will also allow you to select any shade you desire from the Color Picker.

Inspiration: Creative New Year’s Card Ideas

Want some more suggestions for your next project? Take your New Year cards to the next level with these creative ideas:

Graphic-Focused Designs

When it comes to New Year greeting cards, you don’t need a photo to make a statement. Go bold with a graphic-forward design that’s all about patterns, shapes, and typography. Play with colorful gradients, geometric layouts, and dynamic fonts to create a card that’s sure to turn heads. Add festive elements like stars, confetti, or sparkles from our Graphics Library to ramp up the celebratory vibe.

Photo Collage Cards

Can’t choose just one memory to highlight? Why not showcase them all with a stunning photo collage? Our Collage Maker makes it easy to compile your favorite moments from the past year into a single card. Whether it’s a collection of family photos, travel snaps, or candid celebrations, you can arrange them in a variety of layouts to suit your vision. You can even enhance your collage with borders, text, or fun graphics to create a design that tells your unique story.

Artsy Cards

Transform your favorite photo into a true masterpiece with our wide range of Artsy effects. In this example, we’ve applied the Cartoonizer GFX 1 effect to create something you just won’t find in the card aisle of your local supermarket. This approach is ideal for those who want their card to look like it came straight from a gallery wall.

Your Perfect New Year Card Awaits

Creating a one-of-a-kind New Year’s card has never been easier. With BeFunky’s Holiday Card Maker, you can design heartfelt greetings that celebrate your unique style and creativity. Whether you want to send digitally or print them out, your New Year cards will make a lasting impression.
