SU honeycomb embellishments

[dlandau]

I've seen cute cards made with the 1" honeycomb embellishments from the occasions catalog that come in white, blushing bride and mint macaron. But I'm stumped how to use them on a card that will get mailed. Suggestions welcomed, and thanks in advance.

I know!!!.....I have no idea. I am guessing it would only be good for hand delivering a card.

I'd adhere only half to the card and include a note to the recipient to open and adhere the other half for display. Both halves have adhesive.

Use them on the inside, straddling the fold, so that the honeycomb opens when the recipient opens the card.

My friend and were just talking about the mailing issue this morning!

Include a little note or sticky note advising recipient to

• peel off the backing of the half-sphere embellishment (on the balloon, or on the chick, etc.),
• open the sphere fully & press to adhere.

If you put the honeycomb piece on the inside of the card so it will open when the card is opened, is the card then sufficiently lumpy or thick in one place to require extra postage? (Lumpy cards cost me a bundle last year!)

Inside would work, but yes the question of extra postage. Thanks for the replies..

They seemed pretty thin in the package but I haven't taken them out yet... and that will be the same problem when they are inside the card or on the outside of the card but not opened.

You're right. It's a very thin product while still unopened. Noticeably thinner than the honeycomb papers that need to be stamped & cut that are available for paper crafting.
