We know that any classy lady mails little notes: thank you notes, thinking of you notes, etc. Who doesn't love getting something in the mail besides catalogs or bills? I received personalized stationary as a birthday present a few years ago, but after I ran through the cards I realized just how expensive it is for the good stuff. So, in an effort to keep it classy, personalized, and wallet-friendly, here are my top ideas for keeping correspondence classy on the cheap.
You start with blank cards. I got a set of 100 cards from Kate's Paperie--10 cards/envelopes in each of 10 colors--so I can use them depending on season or occasion (I used the red ones to send Valentine's cards).
Now you can personalize by....

I love going the embosser route - not just to save $$, but to get personalized notes for every mood (as you mentioned). Who knows, maybe we'll start something!!
