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

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.

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

Theyre perfect.

OK for acrylic or marker paints. Too soft for watercolors.

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.

Good quality paper. Enjoyed for making cards.

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

Vrry good quality. Nice, heavy paper. I love to make greeting cards with them.

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.

Very nice quality watercolor cards and envelopes! I always buy these, and always recommend to friend looking for blank cards!
