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

I’m not sure why but I assumed these cards would be smooth. This was likely my mistake (not fully reading the description). Since they are heavily textured they are not ideal for drawing. I also was not a fan of the torn edge on one side. That being said, I made them work but I probably wouldn’t purchase them again.

I used these for an art postcard exchange. Nice quality heavy paper for relief printing with postcard address and stamp markings on the back. The consistent size made printing multiples easy. Only complaint is the paper was hard to remove from the glue at the top edge binding.

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.

Love the paper quality for water color painting! This is my second purchase of this type of paper .

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.

I like the weight. Sturdy for acrylic. No bleeding through.

It’s a good value for the money. The card stock is not as sturdy as what I like but do able.

I love these cards; they are a great value for the money. The fold in all of my cards was perfect, and is much easier than trying to make cards out of plain watercolor paper. Every once in a while, I run into an area where my watercolors wont absorb, but it could very well be because of the naturals oils on my hands. Will purchase again and again.

Very nice paper and envelopes! Its 140 lb. cold pressed paper, and perfect for watercolors. I dont get saturatedly wet, in my work, but do wash out an entire background, for which these cards held up well. Highly recommend!

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.
