HIGHLIGHTS
A technique called(I named it:)) The "sandwich" in the previous video, "Picture frame 2.0 -How to make a picture frame from cardboard" (link below)

I extended a method to the shadow box frame, which has a space between the front cover and the artwork. This technique allows you to sandwich the front cover and the card, and the back can be opened without glue, making it easily accessible.
