Hang string, twine or ribbon across a wall. Allow it to drape down instead of pulling it tight. Hang the cards from the string, either by placing the center fold of the cards over the string, or by attaching them with small craft pegs.

2
Hang cork on the wall. Cork can be purchased from your local craft or hobby store in squares or rolls. Hang the amount needed to display the cards you have. Attach the cork to the wall with nails, and the cards to the cork using push pins or tacks. Place colored bows between the cards with push pins for an added touch.

Attach the cards to the wall using double-sided tape. Hang the cards as they are if you want the inside of the card to be accessible. If you don't want the cards to hang open, cut the cards in half at the fold and hang only the front.

Place the cards in frames with matting to make them look like pieces of art. Spread the frames around the room or cluster them together for an artsy touch.
