On a recent trip to Ikea, we picked up a pack of these postcards, not totally sure what I wanted to do with them at the time. The pack came with 5 cards so the wife and I picked the three we liked best.
I decided I wanted them to stand out from the back of the frame. I cut a piece of 1/4" plywood the size of the postcard and then tilted the blade to 45° and beveled the edges so it would make it look as if the postcards were standing out from the back. I used some 3M spray adhesive to stick them to the pieces of plywood.
You can see the frame pieces in the side of this photo. I made one groove for the glass and another for the plywood backing. I don't really plan on making this frame so that I can change out the cards. Maybe I will for future projects.
I tried my best but it just didn't come out at perfect 45° angles so I had to use a little wood filler on the corners to hide the gaps. Later I am going to paint the frame white.
