I don't do a lot of cards celebrating the New Year but the image options in the two sets (which are new releases) are so versatile they can be used for nearly any celebration. I chose the hour glass from the New Year's Eve 3231J set because I can also imagine it on a birthday card with a sentiment about "Is time running out?" or something silly like that. :-D But this particular card is definitely for the New Year, as you can see from the sentiment which can be found in the Happy New Year 3030J set.
This card was CAS and so quick to make. It took me less than 15 minutes because I used the pre-colored image.
Pre-colored image (I wanted you all to see the incredible wood grain that's in the pre-colored image, but not on the black and white outline images.)

That hour-glass is so versatile and it's perfect for a New Years card. So glad you could join us at Die Cut Divas.
Connie, Love your CAS card! Your glitter background makes me think of sand glistening in the sunlight. The hour glass sand reminds us that the year end is rapidly approaching! Your right the image can be used on various occasions. Great Job! Thank you for sharing your delightful card with us. I love seeing how the images are used Connie! Hugs,
