When you mail your handmade cards, especially if they have bulky embellishments, you want to make sure the Postal Service will deliver them safely. This video shows you how to package your cards to protect them AND to comply with the Postal Service rules. Part 2 will show you how to figure the postage you need without going to the Post Office!

Oh, Sage, what a handy video and accompanying *.pdf. I asked for help at the post office and did not get the answers I needed. You covered everything I've been wanting to know about postage! THANK YOU! Luv the tip to use the cutter ruler as a guide for thickness. :)
I'm so glad you got everything you needed! Yes, the post office doesn't make it easy to figure out their rules!
Oh, I meant to add: I was told by our local postal clerk that hard objects, like a gift card, regardless of the size of the envelope, are non-machineable and require extra postage and hand cancelling. It is also preferred that gift cards not be loose, but tacked down. Perhaps others can verify this information.
I didn't cover gift cards in the videos, but I do know the Postal Service considers items that aren't flexible as non-machineable. Thanks for the info.
Good ideas
Thanks, Caroline.

A postal clerk said that the envelope has to drop through the slot. You can't 'feed' it through. It looks like you did that with the thinner envelope. FYI
Fantastic video and so helpful. However, the pdf file you mention has an error regarding the USPS rates. Where you have written "with weight less than" should actually read "weight not over." According to your chart it would cost .71 to mail a one ounce card when actually it is only .49. You can download a USPS price list at pe.usps.com/cpim/ftp/manuals/dmm300/Notice 123.
+carolek09 Thanks Carol. I got that same feedback from another viewer. I was using a pamphlet the postal service sent out a while back, and didn't notice it was different than the price list on the site. Just one more way the USPS had me confused!
