A lot of my inspiration comes from colors and textures. Recently, old drawings from botanics, water creatures, corals, microscopic images have inspired me. But I have to admit, I often have more ideas than I have time, so fortunately, no lack of inspiration.
Someone I know who coaches writers (including on writer's block) once told me that to get people's creative juices flowing, they need to be limited. It is often the abundance of options that blocks it. So you could try that. Use only one color (series) or one shape. Use only one decorating technique. It might get your creativity going, but will also improve technical skill.
