Strathmore Mixed Media Vellum, 5 x 6-7/8 Inches, White, 10 Cards & Envelopes

Its kind-of hard to neatly fold watercolour paper to perfect looking cards, these are great, good quality paper and the envelopes are good quality too.

These Strathmore blank water color postcards are excellent gifts, having given one to each member of my water color class. They are also wonderful paper CARDS for painting a quick thank you note to family and friends, especially following a recent birthday, where I was given an Amazon gift card by both my brothers. I would highly recommend this to anyone, whether you are a beginning student or more advanced. The quality of the paper seems better than other Strathmore watercolor paper, as it takes the removal of pigment using a q-tip better than most paper. My paintings have been too nice to mail them as a postcard like they are intended, so I would advise placing the postcards in a padded envelope, and use the back of the cards to write in the date your painting was completed, and colors of paint used, and the location, if it was from a place you visited.

Love the cards, but was really disappointed when BOTH my boxes had only 9 cards instead of 10. This aspect makes them more expensive, and I really needed 20 cards for my project.

First off, I wasnt aware that blank postcards were sold. I took a watercolor postcard class that offered different designs. These cards hold the paints beautifully without buckling, which I often find with watercolor paper products. In addition, they are a great value for the price. My postcards came out so pretty that I dont want to give them away!

The cards themselves are excellent quality water color paper. The cards though are really one sided (the inside had hardly any texture). The envelopes are great as envelopes but they are a different, thinner paper. Overall I would highly recommend this. Of the many different types of water color cards Ive tried these are by far the best!

Just the thing for watercolors and acrylic paints/acrylic gouache. Also did mixed media collages and the paper held up well. Wouldnt reccomend using modge podge on these bc it tends to curl the paper.For acrylic, collages, and colored pencil, I sealed my designs with acrylic medium and a gloss varnish and the paper was fine- didnt buckle. The paper was fine for watercolor paintings. I also used colored pencils with that and it looked great. Easy to use. Probably cheaper to cut your own postcards, but these are very convenient to use!

It is very easy to use! Thick paper and no bleed-through. Already marked for mailing!

Nice paper for water color. Accepts water well. However cards do curl. Need to tape card to surface while working with them until dry or press them after. Texture of paper is problem for some pens.

The Strathmore Greeting cards are the perfect watercolor card for me to paint my cards for my online shop! They hold up well, very sturdy, and they’re easy to paint on.

I love using these cards to paint scenes or flowers with watercolors!
