I don't even want to know how many stamps or dies I own with the word "happy". Bet it's the same at your house. That being said, all you need in addition is a stamp that says "New Year" (like this one from Sentiment Builders: Christmas and New Year) or some die cut alphas or alpha stickers. I think it's the mix that makes it work.
Please don't judge me by the imperfectly stamped "happys". I was trying something I learned from Mayuri - two-tone inking using dye ink and Delicata gold pigment ink, then spritzed with a bit of water. I picked the WRONG stamp for my first attempt (a completely solid image would be much more tolerant of the puddling ink) but hey, you get the idea.
I also stamped a few PTI sketched circles with gold ink and swiped some onto a strip of white CS which I used for my heat embossed sentiment. A sprinkling of sequins kept up the sparkle and shine, party design too.
I hope you are enjoying the holidays. Big plans for New Year's Eve?
BTW, in case the big guy left you some crafty spending money in your stocking... Shery is offering free shipping plus a free stencil over at STAMPlorations from today through the 31st ;)
