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

I recently took up watercolor painting and thought it would be fun to make my own greeting cards for birthdays etc. This was my first one in the photo, and its pretty easy to fill this space with something pretty. I thought that the paper weight was good. I did not put a ton of water on the paper but it did hold up well. The inside and outside are the same so you could paint something inside too. I just used a marker to write my message inside but in the future might paint a little something inside and out, or even on the back. The envelopes are just standard. It would be nice if they were colored, but I can live with white envelopes. I might try some different sizes next time. I just got a set of 10 of these to see how I would like them and I really love them. Thanks for reading my review

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’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.

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!

I bought these for myself and neice for an art lesson and they worked wonderfully.

These Strathmore blank water color postcards are excellent gifts, having given one to each member of my water color class. They are also wonderful paper CARDS for painting a quick thank you note to family and friends, especially following a recent birthday, where I was given an Amazon gift card by both my brothers. I would highly recommend this to anyone, whether you are a beginning student or more advanced. The quality of the paper seems better than other Strathmore watercolor paper, as it takes the removal of pigment using a q-tip better than most paper. My paintings have been too nice to mail them as a postcard like they are intended, so I would advise placing the postcards in a padded envelope, and use the back of the cards to write in the date your painting was completed, and colors of paint used, and the location, if it was from a place you visited.

We use these to make our own greeting cards. We take a photo we like and glue it on the front of the card. That way we make our own individualistic cards.

Greeting cards - the paper is of the best quality

Ive always used Strathmore Watercolor Greeting Cards and enjoy them. This time I needed a larger amount than usual so I ordered these. Even though theyre for watercolors they can be used with mixed media. Ive been using this brand of blank greeting cards since the 90s and they havent let me down yet.

Good quality paper. Enjoyed for making cards.
