While out shopping this weekend with Lora, I found this cute card on sale at Anthropologie. I love the colors, floral print, and the french saying which means “I love you.” I took French for 6 years and I love the language so I knew it would be a special addition to my work in progress bedroom gallery wall.
While at Feather your Nest in Lexington, I came across this small frame that I knew would be the perfect size to hold my new card.
The frame has details on the corners and around the inner perimeter. I love the way the card looks in it!
After creating my first framed greeting card, I decided to create another one using a card I purchased on the Target dollar spot earlier this summer. The bright coral and gold colors match many of the other decorative pieces in my room.
To frame the card, I used a 4 x 6 gold frame from the Dollar Tree. The card was a little too small for the frame size so I simply cut strips off the back of the card and taped them to the sides to extend the length.
I love how simple and affordable these pieces were to create. I can’t wait to add them to my gallery wall! Have you ever used a greeting card in your home decor?

I have a trio of like cards on a kitchen wall. I love buying cards at craft fairs for this purpose.

Thanks Shannah, I agree! I'll definitely have to try wrapping paper too!

We use wrapping paper and cards to decorate all the time. It is so fun and doesn't cost much at all.
