I have been looking for ages for some ready-made card cut-out frames for the children's paintings and drawings, so a4 and a3 sizes, but cannot find them anywhere. Does anyone know where I might be able to buy these?

Thank you for your reply! Unfortunately I don't have one near here. I had a look on their website though, but can't seem to find it there. Do you know what they call them , so I know what to search?

Card or cardboard. I just want to use them to frame lo's paintings etc for displays and bringing home to make them look even prettier:)

Can you use photo mounts like the ones you put around photos before putting in a frame!! Haven't googled them but I am sure you would be able to get them on line from somewhere, probably Amazon, I haven't found anything they don't sell yet!!!

Thank you for your suggestion! I had a look, but unfortunately they are a bit pricey and not big enough:( I know I have seen them somewhere before, just can't remember where.

could you make them? I have a foam board with made up borders that are changed with seasons, themes etc and coloured paper for background

I just stick the pix bigger onto a sheet of thick paper or card thats about an inch bigger all round.
If the children have been doing 'free' painting or something similar, then I cut the picture into a different shape-not just square or rectangle-then do the same with the paper or card that I stick it to.Adds a bit of interest to a wall display!
