Sending spinner card in mail?

[kagove]

I have made some spinner cards for Christmas and of course want to send them. They seems so fat. Do they need a special envelope? Has anyone sent one? Do they make it through the mail in one piece?

Thanks.

I got one in the mail once! If I remember right, it was sent in a paper envelope, and had a piece of cardstock cut the size of the card in front of the spinner part. It still spins.

If you want to make sure the dimensionals don't get smooshed, you can always use a bubble wrap envelope.

I've sent them in the mail and had no problems.

I sent one to my SIL from Florida to New Hapmshire. It didn't spin when it got there :(

one piece of advice about spinner cards, Don't do like I did. Make sure you use a round pop dot. The first ones I made were using square dots. Duuuu huuu. Square things don't roll. I haven't mailed any of mine yet.

I haven't sent many but I put a piece of bubble wrap on the side with the spinner. It also takes .49 (in US) to send, HTH

I sent one in a plain envelope and just put an extra .23 stamp on it as well as "Handstamp" and "Do Not Bend" it arrived just fine. It even went through a lot of jostling, because my parents get their mail through a mail service and the card was sent there and then to them, so it actually went through the mail system twice.

If someone gets the card and it doesn't spin, have them move the spinner up and down a little. Sometimes the adhesive from the dots sticks in the slot. Also, the way you move the card affects the spin.
