If you have a Fiskars paper trimmer, the little slot down the middle of the bar is the same thickness as the postal measurement. If your card will fit through with no problem, you can probably get by with the regular postage amount.
When I send cards with "bumps" I pad the envelope with an extra piece of cardstock just in case. Also, I put the card in the envelope so that the "bumpy" part is not on the corner where the stamp goes. I think that's the part of the envelope that feeds through the machine and gets caught.
Don't know if it will work for you, but I've not heard from anyone that they got a ripped card or had to pay postage due so far.
