Here are some flat rate mailers for Christmas cards. I spend a little too much in postage every year with my cards and I am really trying to cut it down a little. I don't want to cut anyone off my list. Now I did cut my list last year and I still spend a lot. So this year my goal is to have the ones mailed less bulky so they are one postage stamp.
Here are two variations that are not bulky but stiill are classy looking. I used my Holly and Doves set from Flourishes. I added a little scoring to them both, some swiss dots to the other and a few brads. Both panels are up on dimensionals. Very simple yet a classy look I think. Thanks for looking.

Stunningly GORGEOUS Stacy. You're right, these look like a million bucks and are classy and elegant, yet not bulky. You really did it good this time girl. Now, if only I can come up with less layers and embellies. I try, but my Christmas cards are mostly over the top. This image was made for you Stacy. You've done spectacular cards with them. TFS your beautiful talent!

OMGosh Stacy, trimmed down or not anyone would be proud to receive these gorgeous Christmas cards. I know exactly what you mean about postage. What is worse is to pay the high cost only to hear that what you mailed never got there. gggrrrr

Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous! Your coloring on those doves is perfection, Stacy! I'm trying to do the same thing with many of my cards -- reduce the layers to reduce the postage. Into my favorites. I see a CASE coming up!

These are gorgeous!!! Know what you mean about that postage thing! Between layers, embellies and my tendency to make square cards lately, postage has definitely become an issue. These are awesome and so rich-looking, but should easily mail for a single stamp!!! Great job!!
