Build the photo and keepsake areas around the real object
Build the front matboard with photo, plaque, or cut-out text openings, then add a shadow-box area for the casting and confirm the clearance it needs. Empty openings represent the items you will fit yourself after delivery.
What you can create
Ideas for a baby keepsake shadow box
Start with the hand or foot casting, then add the few details that make the finished display personal to your family.
Baby hand and foot castings
Give a tiny hand, foot, or paired casting a protected display with enough visual space for its shape and detail to remain the focus.
Casting with a baby photo
Pair the dimensional keepsake with a newborn portrait, first smile, or family photo to place that small moment in its story.
Hospital band, name, and date
Add a hospital band, short cut-out name or date, or a plaque in the available finishes without crowding the casting.
Twins and sibling displays
Balance two casting areas or combine keepsakes from siblings with individual photos and simple identifying details.
A finished keepsake for the home
Bring the casting, portrait, and small details together
A calm base matboard and generous spacing keep the baby hand or foot casting as the focus. A separate opening in the front matboard can hold a portrait, while a name, date, or hospital band completes the story.
Make it yours
Plan the display around the real casting
Measure the casting first, then design the object area, photo openings, and materials around the space it needs.
Object space and clearance
Size the shadow-box area around the casting and confirm there is enough clearance between its deepest point and the glazing.
Front and base matboards
Use the front matboard for photo and text openings, then choose a base matboard colour behind the casting and keepsakes.
Baby photo crop and printing
Upload a portrait, move and zoom it within the opening, and add printing when you want the photo supplied with the frame.
Names, dates, and plaques
Personalise the design with a short cut-out name or date, or a plaque in one of the available finishes.
Frame, glazing, and backing
Choose the frame style and review the available glazing and backing while planning how you will secure the keepsake at home.
How it works
From keepsake measurements to a self-fitted display
Plan around the actual casting, especially its deepest point, weight, and the way you intend to secure it.
- 1
Measure the real casting
Record its width, height, and deepest point, then allow visual space around the outline so it does not feel crowded.
- 2
Plan the object and photo areas
Add a shadow-box area for the casting, confirm the clearance it requires, then add any photo, text, or plaque openings in the front matboard.
- 3
Choose the frame and materials
Choose the frame, matboards, glazing, backing, and printing, then check every measurement and the finished preview.
- 4
Receive the frame and fit it yourself
Your custom frame arrives ready for customer self-fitting, so you can carefully position and secure your own casting and keepsakes at home.
Plan before fitting at home
Check the casting's deepest point before you design
The casting's deepest point determines the clearance it needs behind the glazing. Your custom frame arrives ready for customer self-fitting, so measure the real object and contact Frameshop before ordering if it is unusual.
Optional Frameshop photo printing
Add a printed photo beside the keepsake
Optional Frameshop photo printing is available for a baby portrait or detail image you upload. Reposition and zoom the crop in its opening, then choose from the available paper finishes before ordering.
