How many did you order? I usually make orders of 9 or 10 cards (or bigger bulk orders) and haven't seen the new envelopes. Are they a different color than white? Can't wait to see one! I'll probably place an order today just for that reason (plus to get some of my newest cards that I haven't seen in print yet - lol). Grin

Thanks Betsy!

I believe these are the envelopes THE ORDER IS SHIPPED IN not the envelopes to mail cards.

Yes, these replace the white hard cover envelopes used to send 1 to 8 cards w/ blank envelopes to the shopper. If you send a card to someone else, they'll continue to be the white envelopes.

The UK facility is not using them yet, but will soon. You can view what the envelopes look like here:

I ordered 5 cards recently so that I could see the new shipping envelopes (which arrived today

), and while I love the new design, I'm not too thrilled with the loss of sturdiness from the thicker/heavier white cardboard envelopes. My envelope got banged up pretty bad in the mail and I was pretty worried about the contents. After carefully opening it, there didn't seem to be too much damage, thankfully; but it sure looks like they COULD get damaged at some point between the time they are shipped and when they arrive in the recipient's mailbox. They seem to be about the same weight/thickness as the cards they are protecting. But if you don't take that into account, they ARE very nice to look at.

My understanding is that it is plural, nurses, such as April Fools' day, it's plural (possesive) I'm a natural born typo finder, don't know why! I make plenty, I appreciate it when people find my typos and TELL me too!
