La présente invention concerne une carte postale pouvant se transformer en cadre et son procédé de fabrication. Cette carte postale comprend un recto (D) blanc sur lequel est imprimée une image ou une photographie, et un verso se divisant en une zone supérieure (D) et une zone inférieure (D) à (D). Le verso est construit de façon que lorsque la zone inférieure du verso est extraite entre la zone supérieure du verso et le recto, il se forme une structure support cadre, et que lorsque la zone inférieure du verso est rentrée pour reprendre son état original, la carte postale transformable en cadre reprend la forme d'une carte postale. Ainsi, cette carte postale transformable en cadre peut être mise verticale sur une table ou peut s'accrocher à un mur, et en outre, cela se fait en pliant une ou deux feuilles de papier sans utiliser de colle.
