3x3 card question

[nvscrapmom]

I have a question on the 3x3 cards. I see quite a bit of them in the gallery and most swaps seem to have a spot for them. Now I know a dummy, but what do you use them for? I know you can't mail them, so do you just use them like in a gift bag?

They are the perfect size to add to a gift. I have some customers that need little notes for thanking coworkers, clients etc. Teachers can use this size card since they hand out "thank you's".

do you buy envelopes somewhere or make your own?

I buy the SU! envelopes for 3x3 cards (I'm a demo). You get 40 envelopes for $7.50.

Marco's Paper also carries 3x3 envelopes. I make my own using patterned paper from those giant slabs that I stocked up on because apparently I was convinced the scrapbooking companies were never going to make PP again. :P There are printable templates online; I just use my Enveloper board and make up batches at a time.

I LOVE 3X3 cards. I use them a lot with gifts and for including a little note when I'm returning something to someone or stuff like that. I buy the SU envelopes. They also make the cutest gift sets.

Great question! The 3x3's are adorable!

Thanks for the answers. Maybe I will have to add a pack of these envelopes to my next order, I don't do well making them. I would like to make my son's teacher a set of cards.

This really is a great size for a quick thank you, especially in the office setting. Sometimes something bigger just seems to formal. They are great for good pick-me-up cards for someone who misses home or said goodbye to a loved one, but nothing heavy like a loss KWIM. I am always looking for this style of card and never seem to have any on hand. i usually sit down on a Sunday afternoon and go through my favorite PP scraps and can put together some really cute ones. I also use the clear envelopes as a special touch. Mine are usually 2x3 because I can get this size clear envelope (50) at Michaels for 3.00 and then with a coupon? Need I say more:-D .
