You could also try making it with cardboard or cardstock paper.

Cool.

REALLY cute idea!  Love it!  Over here in the States, it would be considered "non-machinable" because it wouldn't be flexible and would potentially get torn to bits in the sorting machines.  I unhappily found this out with my Save the Date cards and had to pay extra for the hand sorting for every single one.  Still, for such a cute card, it might well be worth it!

What if it were shipped in a bubble mailer?  I suppose that would cost more, too.

A bubble mailer would probably be the ideal way of sending these.  However, bubble mailers are considered "packages", so you'd pay for that, too.

Awesome idea, thanks! Hmm, off to research laser cutters...

Neat!  It's too late for this year, but a neat idea to store away for next Christmas. (2010)

i REALLY need a laser cutter....it really would complete my life

[kissiltur]

hear, hear! So many of the projects I want to work on would be easier with such a device.

That's really nice.

You could send it to children and include a pack of pens or small pots of paint and glitter.
