Simple yet amazing! Handmade New Year’s card ideas that will delight

Three cute horse designs

Stylish Year of the Horse New Year’s Cards [Easy for Everyone! 3 Cute Horse Designs★]

Here are three horse illustration ideas that are easy even for beginners to draw.

First, a design that features only the horse’s face.

Since it’s a stylized horse, if you can neatly draw the rectangular outline, you’ve practically succeeded.

Second, an idea where you draw a running horse behind text.

You’ll imagine the whole body, but the torso gets hidden by the letters, so you can draw the head, legs, and tail separately, making it easier to balance.

Lastly, a design that incorporates only the distinctive shape of the horse’s hoof.

This one is recommended if you want a pop look.

New Year’s greeting card for the Year of the Horse that can be easily drawn with a brush pen

New Year’s card for the Year of the Horse: a horse illustration anyone can easily draw with a brush pen

Let’s try drawing a cute, rounded horse illustration reminiscent of a papier-mâché tiger.

It’s perfect as a small accent for New Year’s cards.

Since we won’t draw the legs, start by sketching the body as if it were a bowl with a square bottom.

Then add a rectangular head and upright, pointy ears, and connect them with curves to form the neck line.

From there, add the mane, eyes and nose, and body patterns to complete the horse.

Black, light blue, and red brush pens are used here, but feel free to use any colors you like.

Stylish New Year’s cards made with dot pens

We should hurry up and decide on the New Year’s card design and get ready! Another version of the dot pen we did last time. 🌟 Have you tried drawing it yet? Please give it a try! 🫶TranslationBrush lettering artCute lettersNew Year#New Year's cardHow to write New Year’s greeting cardsDot pen

This idea involves drawing spirals with a fine pen and then adding patterns on top using a dot pen.

By varying the color and size of the dots, you can create a festive look reminiscent of Christmas lights.

Write a New Year’s greeting in the center of the design.

In this idea, the characters “あ,” “お,” “め,” “ま,” and “す” are emphasized.

The “あ” even has a little face, which is cute.

Using rounded lettering helps bring a cohesive feel to the design.

A New Year’s card that draws a horse using the character for “horse.”

[Brush Calligraphy] Drawing a Horse (Uma) #shorts #youtubeshorts #brushlettering #calligraphy #NewYearsCard #japanesecalligraphy #shodo

Some of you might have thought, “Huh?” when you saw the title.

In fact, this idea uses the kanji for “horse” to draw a horse illustration! The upper left of the character becomes the head, below that the neck and body, and the four dots are seen as the legs and tail.

The key point in this design is how much of the original kanji you leave intact.

The balance is tricky, but for now, try copying it using the idea as a reference.

Once you can draw this illustration, you can base an entire New Year’s card design on it!

Here are some ideas for drawing plum blossoms easily with a dot pen.

Combine five dots to form a plum blossom, and use small dots to represent buds.

Draw rice ears and flower centers with a gold ballpoint pen.

Just the flowers will look simple, while adding rice ears will create a more festive finish.

Since the illustration has a rounded feel, using a similarly rounded typeface when adding greetings or other text will create a unified look.

Try writing with a brush pen or using stamps.

New Year’s card painted with a fork

Cream – yama

Did you know you can create mizuhiki designs using a fork? Dip a fork in red ink and glide it across your New Year’s card to draw.

It may seem difficult, but if you draw the central knot in four steps, then sketch a half-circle on each side imagining hearts, and finally add two curved lines to suggest the dangling cords, you’re done.

Just note that once you draw, you can’t erase it, so it might be safer to make a draft first.

Draw the mizuhiki large and centered, and write your New Year’s greetings or message in the blank space.

New Year’s card painted with a toothbrush

It’s not too late—New Year’s card art painted with a toothbrush!Translation#New Year's cardYear of the Snake#Toothbrush

♬ You Never Know – BLACKPINK

You wouldn’t believe this was written with a toothbrush! Here’s a stylish New Year’s card idea.

First, use gold to draw a wavy line in the center of the card.

On top of that, write the kanji for the zodiac animal.

You might think, “Is that it?” but using a toothbrush gives the letters a charming, brush-like texture.

Skip the sketching—be bold and expressive! For hygiene reasons, be sure to use a new toothbrush.

This is a perfect idea for those who don’t want to spend much time making New Year’s cards.
