I put the photo in a sheet protector, cutting off the strip with the three holes. Put that on top of a 9x12 or so envelope that has a piece of cardboard in it (not too snug, you want the photo to slide in it with the protector.) The 9x12 envelope is addressed and stamped to you. Put that and a LOR in an about 10x15 envelope addressed to whomever you're writing to.

Depends on what kind of cardboard you have, the size of the envelope and so on. Just make sure that your letter doesn't bend easily. If the letter is not rigid enough, it can be damaged. And the more cardboard you put, the heavier it gets, so postage becomes more expensive.

No, you can't.
great well Ill give it a shot and see how it turns out.
