No, everyone and everything that was created, was created in the first 6 days of creation.
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
all the host of the heavens (angels) all the host of the earth (man's)
thats right we were created outside of time and placed in time at our proper time. we were created and forknew by God and we are eternal -- thats why death never ends for the lost.
According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Ephesians 1:4 (KJV)

Man was (and is) created on the 6th day. God rested from all of his work on the 7th day. We look forward to a Sabbath rest with him while we live in this 6th day.
Let me clarify. For those of us "in time" we are created on the 6th day, (the day of man and modern animals). The conservative doctrines of providence and continuous creation show that God is still at work (John 5:17) "My father has been working up until now and I work."
Thus, God is still at work (in one sense) and at rest (in another) since God is not limited by time.

There is one perspective of the two creation stories in Genesis that has everything made by the end of day six, except the woman and a few animals.
There is a somewhat common view that Eve was created after the seventh day rest. There are seemingly two creation stories in Genesis. Chapter 1 is the one we are all familiar with and the YEC's often quote it and love it dearly. But many of us often forget to consider that chapter 2 seems to be a different creation story with different details. One way that believers of an inerrant Bible reconciling the two stories is by saying that both are equally true and do indeed detail different events. Chapter 1 begins at the beginning of everything and ends on the seventh day. Chapter 2 briefly recaps that week then begins on some day after the seventh day.
If this view is taken, then God created at least one of every animal in existence out of mud and breathed life into it, just as He did in the first Creation Week, and also created Eve from Adam's rib, all after the seventh day. Though by scale, this second creation is less involved than the first, lacking in any further creation of actual Earth, celestial bodies, and any plant life.
Other items of creation have been hinted on in other answers, and include human souls at conception, food for 5000 from a single basket, and some of the Old Testament manna and pillar of fire kind of things. These are small in comparison to the total creation in Genesis one of all that is, however, Revelation promises an entirely new heaven and Earth, which certainly is on the same scale as the first Creation Week.

Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array.
Gen 2:1 says God was done creating Earth i.e. our Earth. What about those other planets out there. If at all you find scientific evidence of other planets or stars or heavenly bodies being approximated to at least that were created after Earth, then Yes, there could the possibility of creating Heavenly bodies alone after Earth and after the 7th day.
Other than that, as others have said, he is ever creating Man, every soul from scratch, or babies are being created every single day (here literally).
Not only those things which we could see, but also who knows devils are being created or he created after the 7th day.
So, limiting the word creation to "Heavens and Earth" alone is not a good idea I think.

God created man. As it turns out, babies are created every single day.
So yeah, I'd say God is still creating things.

The Talmud teaches that the act of creation is ongoing and is continued through the actions of God's creatures. Unlike the Christian OT, Talmud reads "When God began the creation ... " When God rested, man took over the management of God's world. God inspires individuals to create things, processes, art, and to create a better World, according to God's plan. Human beings are the hands and eyes of God, doing things that God dreams of. He is the architect, and we are the builders. In Talmud, Torah is the blueprint for the creation (the tree of life, in gan eden), and Torah is the blueprint that is re-examined anew with every generation to create things necessary.

This depends a lot on your interpretation of "create," as well as "day."
As my answer to another question explains, some believe the seventh day has not yet ended. If you take this view, the answer to your question might be "no, God has not created anything since the seventh day, because nothing has happened since the seventh day." I think that probably misses the real point of your question, though... I think you're really asking, did creation end after the sixth day.
If you hold to the views of most old earth creationist, the substance of the universe was created instantaneously at the event of the Big Bang. Since then, God has created various life forms, humans being the last one mentioned on the sixth creation "day."
Clearly God has caused certain things (both physical, and non-physical things) to come into existence after the end of the sixth day. Many people have been born, new rivers have formed, the Church was created (a non-physical thing), etc. It's even possible/likely that micro-evolution has occurred (although there is debate whether the result can be considered new species or not). Would you consider that to be "creation?"
The view I would hold is that after the 6th day, God ceased to create new species of plants and animals.
However, this is hard to prove scientifically, because not enough time has passed since the end of the 6th day (possibly as much as 10,000 years, depending on your estimates). And according to geologists, the fossil record goes back hundreds of millions of years. There simply aren't enough data points in the last 10,000 years to prove that life isn't continuing to be "created."
So in a nutshell... without further clarification in your question, I think the answer is "It's impossible to say."

There is the theological opinion, that human soul is created by God from nothing every time when new man appears. The first time this view was expressed by Saint Irenaeus. So, the answer to your question might be yes.

There are instances where God created a few things, but nothing like the original creation.
He created the languages at the Tower of Babel. He created the manna in the desert, along with the cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night. He created food for 5,000+ from a small lunch.

Yes, He will create a New Heaven and a New Earth. He will recreate everything!
Revelation 21:1-5 emphasis mine
Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.”
He who was seated on the throne said, “I am making everything new!” Then he said, “Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true.”
