Preserving memories through framing personalised greeting cards
From Weddings to Anniversaries, New homes and New babies, these personalised greeting cards capture moments in life and carry sentiments that hold a deeper meaning.
Based on the feedback I've received from customers, my cards are frame-worthy keepsakes.
Framing personalised greeting cards not only allows you to display them as beautiful pieces of artwork, but it also serves as a physical reminder of the special moments and emotions they represent.
Choosing the frame for your personalised greeting cards
When choosing a frame for your greeting cards, consider factors such as card size, design, and overall aesthetic appeal.
For all Mollycat Studio personalised greeting cards, you'll need a 5x7 inch frame. You can choose from a variety of frame styles, including sleek and modern designs, ornate and vintage-inspired frames, or minimalist and contemporary options.The oak frames pictured in this blog have all been purchased from a UK company called Hampton frames
Tips for framing Mollycat Studio personalised greeting cards
To ensure you do justice to your cherished memories, follow these tips for effective card framing:
- Clean the cards: Before framing, gently clean the cards to remove any dust or dirt. Use a soft, lint-free cloth or a brush designed for delicate surfaces.
- Remove the glass/plastic from the frame - this will prevent the crochet hearts from getting squashed.
- If you'd like to display the message inside the card alongside the card itself, you will be using a double aperture frame.
You need to cut the card in half. To do this you will need a cutting mat, safety ruler and a sharp craft knife (my favourite is a Swann Morton craft knife with a No 11 blade)
- Work on a stable, flat surface to prevent slips or accidents.
- Ensure your cutting mat and ruler are clean.
- Place your personalised greeting card on the cutting mat and hold the ruler firmly in place on the fold line of the card.
- Hold the craft knife with your other hand making sure you keep your fingers away from the cutting edge.
- Apply gentle pressure along the fold line and cut your card in half.
