Here’s a challenge for card designers.

I frame myself. Learnt it at art school. A label is put on the back with details of artist etc,.

My framing is just using frames from Tesco that are delivered with the grocery.

The frames are sold as photograph frames, but I find that they are a convenient way to conserve a greetings card.

It is not usually proper framing with the mount just over the edge of the card and sealed and so on, but far better than leaving the card unframed.

For example, I mostly use the following frames.

So if a card is smaller than 8 inches by 10 inches, which all the ones I have are, namely A5 and smaller, the effect is the frame, the mount, a white area within the mount and the card within the white area.

The Tesco sheet shown in the picture is white when turned over, but I have found that I need to add in a few sheets of A4 card behind the card to hold it in place, as I don;'t want to attach sticky tape things to the card.

Not ideal framing, but much better than not doing it.

What a shame, the link shows that the frame is unavailable.

there are plain art cards

Do you keep the same style of frame each time?

I usually use Tesco oak frames.

Some used in portrait orientation and some used in landscape orientation. The frames each have two hanging fittings on the back, so if displaying on a wall, either can be used.

They also have a way to stand them up free-standing.

Yet I have most simply stacked, stacking them face to face, and back to back, so that the fittings on the back of one cannot damage the window on the one next to it.

The Tesco personal shoppers and delivery drivers take great care to deliver the frames to me without damage.

Can we see your Gallery?
That'd be good.

I photo copy pictures, that are a passion of my DGC, on my iPad and then chose a card on moonpig that are for a full photo of a person and glued it on. My French DGC are thrilled.

Charity shops such British Heart foundation and Marie Curie have some lovely cards with pictures of Animals or views , they are usually blank inside so you can put your own message on. They are reasonable priced too.
