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

Good quality watercolor paper.

Im sure these are great blank cards but I didnt even open the package. They are definitely a cream color, hence the 3 stars across the board.

Thick, great quality paper for my watercolors!

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.

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

Dont warp much at all if you tape them down. Do well with a reasonably dry design, but I am having trouble with my background washes coming out very blotchy. I think I am going to stick to a plain white background for the rest of my cards.

Nice paper, well made, and fun for a child to make her own postcards to send to grandma.

They were great! exactly what I wanted.

Used it for cards for occasions. Painted watercolor cards.

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.
