Display Your #Vintage Pop Up Valentine Cards in a Shadow Box Frame #antiques
Do you collect dimensional / fold-out / die cut / mechanical Valentine's Day cards? Then you'll love this tip from kovels.com -- " Display it open in a shadowbox picture frame. Be sure to use archival mounting. "
Don't have a shadow-box frame? Use an actual open box, prettied up of course.
Don't have any fold-out Valentines? Layer some cute flat ones, glueing some small pieces of styrofoam in between to create depth.
Don't have vintage cards? Print out some from the interwebs. (For personal use only of course).
And this concept works for all holidays, and other subjects and themes. Kinda gets your DIY blood pumping with ideas, eh?!!
