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

Used for holiday cards and metallic watercolors. White gel pens don’t work super well on this particular paper.

Paper is sturdy and nice. Envelopes are a really nice paper as well.

These cards make a perfect gift after you paint on it. Fits perfectly into a 5x7 frame .

Ordered this for my daughters travel art kit. Fit perfectly with the small watercolor kit.

Have been using this product for many year for attaching photographs. They are perfect.

This is a great product for small watercolor projects. The paper responds like Arches brand and yet is foldable and ready to send or archive in a smaller way. Caveat— it does have a wrong side so examine the paper carefully. The wrong side will not respond as well to water, but maybe it’s good for something else.

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.

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.

We used these for our wedding thank you notes. We stamped them with our wedding logo. The paper is nice, thick and great quality!

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.
