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

The paper is beautiful. Perfect for watercolor, markers or pen and ink. I use it to make greeting cards.

These are off-white and should be labeled as such.

I needed to print some of my photos onto stationery cards. The older stationery that I printed on in past years has yellowed over time, and I was cautious about ordering cheap blank cards / envelopes out of fear they wouldnt be durable, would yellow gradually, or wouldnt take the ink properly. After much searching I discovered the Strathmore cards on Amazon and ordered them because they were acid-free and the reviews were outstanding. When the blank cards arrived I was a bit concerned about being able to print on them because of the rough, ripped edge on the front cover, and also by the rough-ish fabric-like texture of the card stock, but my fears were unfounded - I was very pleased with the results, notably by the brilliance of the colors that came out on the cards from my inexpensive ink jet printer. I like the brightness / purity of the white of the cards and envelopes, and I think the quality of the product relative to the price makes this an easy choice. If/when I need to print out more stationery cards Ill definitely be buying this product again.

. I have painted on more than 200 Strathmore watercolor cards. The cards now are of inferior quality. They do not hold water and they buckle. Paint looks completely flat. I have reached out to Strathmore with no reply. Unfortunately, I don’t have a better card to recommend. I have to cut my own now from better paper. Read some reviews. If the artist used Strathmore cards in the past, they likely note that the quality is different and worseY

We used these for our wedding thank you notes. We stamped them with our wedding logo. The paper is nice, thick and great quality!

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

Love this product

Thick, great quality paper for my watercolors!

I’m not sure why but I assumed these cards would be smooth. This was likely my mistake (not fully reading the description). Since they are heavily textured they are not ideal for drawing. I also was not a fan of the torn edge on one side. That being said, I made them work but I probably wouldn’t purchase them again.

Good quality watercolor paper.
