Thanks Op and since these don't come with the envelopes you can take some pretty wrapping paper and make your own envelopes. Turn the wrapping paper over to the plain side,take apart an evelope that you already have,lay it down on the plain side of the wrapping paper and trace around it, cut it out, glue it with the colored side on the inside and the plain on the outside, insert card, glue down top flap, address, stamp and mail. I do that with cards that I sometimes purchase to make the card more personalized and special.

Is this dead? I don't see a place to request a sample.

This looks dead. I get a message upon clicking the 'request sample' button saying 'sample requests are only available with overnight delivery charges at this time'.
