> 3 dayThis is my go-to size for my art! I use to cut larger pieces of watercolor paper to this exact size before finding this product. (Which use to result in a waste of watercolor paper - and that price adds up!) Honestly, I use these for both watercolor abstract and testing purpose with colors and products. While I do not physically send these anywhere due to being afraid they would be ruined. I do use the backside to label and date my art! I found that these will buckle under a lot of water, but they do retain shape back and remain flat. I dont enjoy taping my watercolor paper and this size seems to automatically go back to flat even after soaking in many layers of water and color. I have only used watercolor, light washes of acrylic and ink. (Basically thinning my acrylic to almost water.) Using a dense ink WILL soak through this paper slightly. I havent found one that wont yet. I have no complaints as I do love the convenience of having a pad of watercolor paper that is easily removable and tolerates my abuse! The price is perfect and I feel that you definitely get your moneys worth for this product. I absolutely love this product and just cant get enough of these. I go through them pretty fast as I enjoy abstract watercolor art with finding and image within it.

> 3 dayIve used these watercolor cards for years, but the quality of the current paper is not the same. One side of the card has a cold press waffle texture which is really not desirable in watercolor paper.

> 3 dayI do a lot of ink drawings and this paper is smooth enough to help make my drawings look nice! With the price of cards that you buy at the store, making your own cards is a good.

> 3 dayThese were perfect for water-coloring handmade cards for my Etsy shop. I used both watercolors and black pen on them and they worked great. The cards are made of high quality thick water color paper and they have a pre-folded middle for an easy fold. Great price. Only complaint is that the envelopes arent very thick and are see through. To me, this wasnt a big deal because the cards were so high quality. I definitely will be purchasing them again for my shop.

> 3 dayI use these cards over medium weight tear away stabilizer to embroider occasion-specific designs on personalized greeting cards. They work beautifully on digitized designs in my Solaris embroidery sewing machine. A titanium-coated needle works best as writing through paper can dull needles.

Greater than one weekI’ve used these cards with Sharpies, Derwent Inktense pencils, and wet watercolor. They’re not perfect for really wet media, but good enough to work. I made valentines and birthday cards with them and the recipients enjoyed them. I plan to use them much more in the future. They’re a good size for making art but fit easily in the mail.
