Foam Tape or Dots

If you want to add dimension between your layers, we recommend using double sided foam tape. Some of our customers prefer foam dots.

Glue

If you want to glue any of your layers, we HIGHLY recommend Bearly Art Glue which comes with a small-tipped applicator. Using too much glue can warp your card stock and get messy. Less is more in this case.

That's why we LOVE Bearly Art Glue

Acid Free Tape

When you are attaching your photos to the layered card stock frames, it is important to use acid free tape that won't degrade your photos over time.

Shadow Box Frames

When you are ready to frame your project, we recommend using an 8"x8" shadow box frame. If you aren't using spacers between layers, though, these projects can be framed in any standard frame!

Just make sure you are getting the right size frame for your project. All of our shadow box projects are set to cut at 8"x8" but can be resized to any size.

What We Love: Muzilife Shadow Box Picture Frame
