I usually just put a sheet of copy paper over the front of a bulky card and then into the envelope. It keeps ribbons, buttons, etc. from breaking thru. If your envelope will go thru the slot on your paper cutter and is not over weight you can just use one stamp. If not you have to pay the extra postage or just add an extra stamp if you are in a hurry (or do not want to drive to the post office). I do like the idea of the crimped paper....could do that on copy paper for less weight. TFS Thanks Sharon for your tips.

I place my card between two of them, tape them closed and place in an envelope. They are lightweight so that helps to keep the postage down and my cards arrive safely to their destination.

I tape the ends and mail them as is - the pretty card shows on one side and a piece of paper to match my card is on the other side for the adress. I also use clear acetate envelopes and everyone always ask me about them because the card showing one side looks so pretty. Why do you wrap your clear boxes?

The crimped paper one sounds great! I will try that next time I am mailing a special card. Thanks too for the shout out about the contest! You know I think you are a rock star and to have a compliment from you -- well -- it's pretty darn cool!! :-) Take care lady! Wow Sharon thanks for the amazing tips!

One thing to be aware of is that there is a depth/thickness restriction on the envelopes for regular first class mail. The reason is that the sorting is automated and the cards are speeding along on these machines at great speeds. If I have a problematic card I take it to the post office and make sure they know I want it to AVOID the machine. There is an extra cost involved but it is worth it to not have the card destroyed in the process.

They will do it right in front of you is you if you take it to the post office. I have learned to trust my post office and I just bought a roll of stamps and put the card in my mail box. None of my friends or family have said that their cards have been damage. I just buy the .17cent stamps, (plus.42 cent stamp) and the post office hand cancels the card so it does not get crushed.
