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

These cards are perfect for watercolor paints. I’d purchase these again! They absorb a lot of water and can become a bit distorted/warped, but if you love that card in its envelope for a few days, they straighten out well. Overall very pleased with this purchase.

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.

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.

I love this product! You can paint using watercolor or acrylic. I usually paint in acrylics and found with this paper you can paint on either side and I do! I paint on the outside the interior and the back! I also paint on the envelopes and there is no bleed through. I do place a piece of paper in the card prior to painting the envelope just in case but has never bled through. The paper is excellent weight, I use both water color and acrylic and havent had any issues with the cards becoming over saturated to the point that they begin to buckle. I do dry between paint layers. I have purchased other card stock but this one is by far a superior product. I dont have a printer so no idea if it would work with one but would think it would if you used the draft setting so as not to over saturate. These are a well priced product.

Im sure–or I hope–its somewhere on the description, but these are textured on both sides. I personally am not a fan of writing on textured paper, so Ive yet to actually use these as stationery (their intended purpose). The actual cardstock seems pretty sturdy and of good quality.

I love the cards. Paint goes on smoothly,

Everything about the quality and convenience of these cards is great. I’ve recently started water coloring and have been practicing on these cards and mailing them out to friends. It’s been so much fun and I will definitely repurchase!

I use this card stock to mount original watercolors or make prints of paintings. It holds the color very well on the prints and is strong enough to support the mounted paintings.

Quality paper, holds ink and watercolor well. If I mail the cards, I prefer creating envelopes for them so the Post Offices equipment doesnt damage them. Great for creating unique place cards or miniature pictures. Ive never used them in a printer so I cant tell you how well theyd hold up or if theyd leave residue (paper lint) behind in the printer itself which has been a problem when I used heavier (non-card stock) paper in my color laser printer. For hand-crafted art work, I think they are very good. Like most paper, it is possible to damage the surface by heavy scratching, but I have a light touch with pen and ink so scratching up the surface hasnt been a problem. Holds a wash well and doesnt warp unless I use too much water. Then I usually place a blank sheet of paper and a heavy book on it to flatten it back into shape while it dries.

I have bought these precut cards with envelopes for at least 7-8 years. I create my own Christmas/holiday cards, about 80-85 per year.
