Strathmore Cards & Envelopes 3.5X4.875 10/Pkg-Watercolor -105023

Actually, do not paint on the card. I use watercolor paper and paste it on the top of the card. Card has a beautiful ragged edge. Nice envelope, also. Paper is just a bit too thin for painting with watercolors. If you are light on your watercolor usage, it may work for you. Regardless, nice product.

I’ll use for my Christmas cards.

Well made card stock that I’ve used for several months to create beautiful cards using watercolors. The paper is sturdy, wet on wet techniques work fine, and I’ve been very pleased with the results. They come with nicely made envelopes, also. I splurged and bought the pack of 100 and I’m going to use them to create Christmas cards.

I recently took up watercolor painting and thought it would be fun to make my own greeting cards for birthdays etc. This was my first one in the photo, and its pretty easy to fill this space with something pretty. I thought that the paper weight was good. I did not put a ton of water on the paper but it did hold up well. The inside and outside are the same so you could paint something inside too. I just used a marker to write my message inside but in the future might paint a little something inside and out, or even on the back. The envelopes are just standard. It would be nice if they were colored, but I can live with white envelopes. I might try some different sizes next time. I just got a set of 10 of these to see how I would like them and I really love them. Thanks for reading my review

Holiday cards

Not bad quality for the price. Doesnt hold water to well, buckles quite a bit. It holds pigment decently on the rough side. Not too bad for a quick sketch, watercolor impressions, and sending it off. Good for a hobby, not professional quality.

These were so nice and thick. Great for making watercolor cards to give to friends.

Cards are awesome. I use acrylic paint and micron pens. They both work great.

Lots of practice before painting larger piece and I can mail these

Easy to use, nice mailing size, thick paper that holds up to getting very wet with paints. I have mailed many of these postcards out to friends around the world. They look good and the colors are well-represented.
