Sure, you can keep alphabet flashcards in their box, but they're so attractive you may like to use them as art. (And little eyes will see them more frequently this way.) Here are ten examples of hanging and displaying abc flashcards in children's rooms to inspire you.
Top Row:
Polly's Happy Place: hung a few feet below the ceiling which adds visual height
My Room: Caspian: hung in rows with tiny clothespins
Alphabet Card Display, Take 2: similar to above but hung with regular clothespins
Zadie's A to Z Abode: mix it up with letters from different sets
Roman's Modern Nursery: as a ceiling border
Bottom Row:
No Closet? No Problem: hung at child's eye level
Another Great Alphabet Card Display: a great way to decorate a large wall
Hunts and Lulu's Playroom: adorning a sloped attic ceiling
Alphabet Card Display: mounted on canvas
Reader Tip: Alphabet Decor: abc cards from a school supply store hung at child's eye level

I really like the idea of hanging them with clothespins and intend to do that in my daughter's room. Thanks for the reminder!
Not to be difficult, but this really isn't '10 ways' to display the cards, since 4 of the photos use the clothespins to display. Variations to be sure, but I think we all could get the idea from one clothespin display. It's more like a '6 ways' post.
Here's another way:

Thanks IndigoEllen, I was thinking the EXACT same thing :)
I thought the same thing too. I had flashcards on a molding in my son's room when he was an infant and now they're on a clothespin display like above. I love the way they look (and he's learning what a walrus is!)
We have decorated our daughter's nursery with ABC flashcards too, but only put up the letters in her name, O-L-Y-M-P-I-A, over her crib. The rest of the art in her room are framed paintings, but I am so nervous to hang anything heavy over where she sleeps! This was the perfect way to solve that problem and put her beautiful name on display.
It's nice when they're hung at the child's eye level, so the kid can see them.
We have ours on a homemade clothesline made of stretchy rainbow nylon, secured with sweet little binder clips.
I pushpin-ed some alphabet flashcards onto a fabric-covered canvas, and also framed them in 4 X 6 frames for both of my daughter's spaces. Here are some photos,

Great minds, etc.
I just got some small clothespins (not the minni to small to hang postcards with) and twine from OLIVEMANNA at :

I really like all the color choices they have!
