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

Lots of practice before painting larger piece and I can mail these

Theyre perfect.

I wanted these to make cards for friends birthdays and for family members who are ill. I do watercolor and these are perfect! These are unique, simple gifts that let family and friends know that you are thinking about them even if they are a great distance away! They also help me keep up a discipline of doing watercolor sketches on a regular basis. I plan to make an additional purchase soon.

Used it for cards for occasions. Painted watercolor cards.

I love the postcards. It makes a fun way to send a personal note.

These cards have been my go-to for over 20 years, in making my own Christmas, birthday, and other holiday greetings. But this last order has brown water damage on the bottom of the package, resulting in one card being unusable and another iffy. Ill continue to buy them because they are the best but hope the next batch is as perfect as in the past.

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

Im printing on these using a Canon Pro9000 Mark II. I used to glue glossy prints of my nature photos onto these cards, but now I prefer to print directly on them. Due to the rough texture, the images come out with a slightly soft look (a bit like a pencil drawing), which I find to be a lovely, artistic look. UPDATE (Dec. 20, 2022): Ive been getting lots of glowing compliments on my card photos this year. Of course thats partly a reflection of the photo I used, but this card stock definitely adds a classy, professional element.

Ive used Strathmore cards for my greeting cards for decades. The paper quality is excellent.

Product is great! It arrived promptly & in super shape for me to use immediately. I am giving a workshop in creating artistic postcards, so this product is perfect. Thank You!
