Have you seen how people sometimes photograph cards or layouts standing up in a vintage flower frog? Here's an example from Jennifer McGuire Ink. I like it for a couple of reasons. For one, it's sometimes easier to see how a card looks when it is standing up. But mostly I just love the vintage look of the flower frog!
I've been keeping an eye out for a vintage frog at garage sales and thrift shops for a while, but I just don't get to them often and hadn't found any. A lovely woman at church found out I was looking for one and gave me three! This is the large one, plus there are two small ones that I thought I might use to stand up a layout. They are heavy - James thinks possibly lead (therefore, he says, I should avoid licking them. Hard to resist, right?). They belonged to another church friend's grandmother who liked Japanese flower arranging. So awesome.

Oh, and this is the thank-you card I'm sending!
