Dottie,
I know Stampin' Up sells them but I think if you google 'clear bags.com you might find some that are less expensive. They have a variety of sizes, etc.

I buy mine from an ebay seller, here is the link:

I get the envelopes that have the stick on the bag itself, not on the flap. That way I don't worry about the sticky getting on the card if someone wants to take it out of the envelope and put it back in.

Dottie-
I get mine from
bagsandbowsonline.com
I think that after shipping I end up paying about $5.00 per 100. I also use these as envelopes to mail my cards in I figure that way I am entertaining the postal workers with my art work too! Good luck with this. Robyn

Hi Robyn,
I went to bagsandbowsonline.com and I can't find the clear envelopes there. What do you look them up under? Clear envelopes didn't work.

I am not sure where you are from but l posted a discussion this morning re: clear plastic bags. I found a company from Toronto that you can order bags from. They have everything from shipping boxes, envelopes, assorted cellophane bags as well. www.uline.com
And you can order a free catalog.
I found this company about a month ago, but if you google cellophane bags, l saw a number of US suppliers as well.
Hope this helps. I currently use ziploc bags and Stampin up bags, but that can get very costly.
Hope this helps

Hi Dottie, I buy my envelopes here http://www.clearenvelopesambershaw.com
Free shipping, the small A2 size (4 5/8 x 5 3/4) is 8.00 per 100 and the large A7 (5 x 7 ) are 9.00 per 100. She also has card jackets for 9.00 and 11.00 respectively. I like to mail my cards in the clear envelopes also, but a lot of Etsy sellers package their cards in clear and also give a white paper envelope. The card protectors are pretty much like the book covers I used to make for my kids school books, except they are clear. Open the card, bend back a little, and tuck the sides in just like a book. I am totally sold on mailing in the clear envelopes, I think it makes your cards stand out and look so much more unique. The Post Office charges .20 extra for the clear envelopes.
