Print each of these downloadable images 100% size in your home color printer using Savage’s Craftique Brand Print&Stick Self-Adhesive Photo and Printing paper.
Peel the backing paper from the inside mat border print. Center and adhere to front of the inside mat.

Laying on a flat surface, use a craft blade to cut out the inside of the Print-&Stick paper to leave the opening in the inside mat for the photo to show through.

Using a craft knife and a protected flat surface, cut small mosaic type shapes out of the print of the decorative plate. Peel the backing from each small piece and randomly place the small pieces to form a faux mosaic. Even though the plate is a simple photo, it will look like an expensive frame made of broken wedgewood china.

After the mosaic is complete to your liking, adhere the outside mat, inside mat and easel back together using double sided tape or glue and insert your photo into the special u-channel slot.

Your Mother’s Day Gift is ready to wrap or display!

TruBlack Presentation Board Display - Most retailers keep their black presentation board stacked horizontally or vertically on shelves with only the edges showing. Successful merchandising concepts prove that a product that is displayed with a label facing the customer sells significantly better. Savage has developed a display that faces the product at an angle so the customer can see it while walking the store aisle. It not only shows the product, but offers a space saving alternative to the way most stores show this product now. Savage offers this product in 10 packs up to 16” x 20” sizes. These 10 packs are featured with an attractive label that identifies important features. The sturdy metal display is provided FREE of charge with a stocking order. MSRP for a full display is $516.00.
