We use a computerised mount cutter, so our finished mounts are extremely accurate, with neat corners, and finished in the fraction of the time hand cut mounts take.

We can design and cut mounts to fit your items, and can cut lettering or decorative shapes.

And, as much of the time is concentrated in the design stage – we can offer discounts on subsequent copies or bulk orders.

We use acid free mount board in a huge range of colours, and can post your mount if you are too far to pop in.

Here are some examples of mounts we have designed:

Mount with letters cut out

Stars cut out around mount aperture

Mounted record

Design cut out of mount corners

Mounted LP

This is great news for photographers who want to offer the complete package without the investment and upkeep of specialist printing, framing or box making equiptment.

We’re offering printing on canvas or professional photographic paper to our retail customers too, so even if you just fancy a one off item for your bedroom wall, you can take advantage of this great service too.

We’re really pleased that 60 Minute Makeover will be featuring our picture frames on their show this month.
The framed prints will be included in the show from Uttoxeter, Staffordshire which was recorded earlier this year. The show is on Tuesday 22nd September 2009 at 2pm on ITV1.

The interior designer had some prints to be framed as a feature in the room.
For the first batch of prints, they had a specific look in mind, so we framed them to their specification. 
And for the second batch, they didn’t have a plan in mind, so we used our imagination and framed them to suit the prints, bringing out the colours from the images.

It was a bit of a long distance project, as the prints were sent to us by courier, and we sent them back carefully packaged in our custom fit boxes.  We had a lovely email of appreciation after they received the finished framed prints.

I’ll update the site with some pictures from the room after the show is aired.
The programme with our frames is due to air on Tuesday 22nd September 2009 at 2pm on ITV1… I can’t wait!

Rangers Football Shirt Framed

Christy has spliced the mount card to create the diagonal white/red effect which matches the shirt here, and cut out the team name letters.

Rangers Football Shirt Framed

Here, she has cut out the stars to match the Rangers badge, and again cut out the team letters from the mount.

Both shirts have been stretched and padded over a card cutout.

Here’s an example of one of the signature prints:

Frame Baby's Clothes

We can frame almost everything at Lazy Daisies, for example your baby’s christening outfit, a collection of your favourite photos of your children, hospital tag, baby handprints or footprints.

We can guide you on the style, colours and layout to create a unique and personalised set of framed baby photos and memories.

Contact us for more information, or drop in to our Hazel Grove store for some guidance in person.

This is the start of the project, it’s just a collection of photographs and medals:

War Memorabilia

The finished framed collection was quite impressive:

Ben Framing A Large Canvas Print

We’ve framed some very large pieces of artwork recently.  Sometimes it takes two people to put the frame together.

We’ll also use oversize glass, mountboard and backing board for some items.

You can see Ben here stretching a large canvas that he is about to frame.

Gunnar Computerised Mount Cutter

The next Fine Art Trade Guild meeting for the North West will be on 2nd April 2009.

We’re happy to confirm that Sally from Gunnar will be giving a presentation on cutting mounts.

We will also be voting on the Fine Art Trade Guild North West Awards, if you’ve not prepared something already, then best be quick!

If you would like to attend, please contact us for further details.

I was in the workshop and took some photos of her as she worked. She hated me doing this!
She’s here working on an album and a set of music related memorabilia. By this point she had already programmed the mount cutter and cut out the mounts.
