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

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.

Ive recently gotten into making mixed media birthday cards. I really like the size and sturdiness of these cards. My only tip would be to make sure you put weight on the corners while your project is drying or the edges will curl up.

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.

These cards are so perfect for my mom in assisted living. She is an artist and loves these to paint with her watercolors and send to friends and family! We love them too!

Theyre perfect.

Great little watercolor cards for your homemade card projects. They are sturdy, have a nice feel to them, and handle watercolor paint nicely.

I am usually a watercolor paper snob, using only Arches, but I like to have an inexpensive, pre-cut card option and this does the trick. I have painted several packages worth of cards and keep reordering more of this Strathmore paper. I have noticed patches of uneven sizing on about one card in every fifteen. The paper in those cases wont accept the color as well and it almost appears to pool in spotty places. When this occurs, I blot it off and decide between multiple layers or going lightly pigmented in that area. Its a minor nuisance unless you are a stickler for perfection.

I love these cards. I just bought a second set. I use them mainly for watercolor, but have used color pencils (prismacolor and raffine), neocolors, derwent inktense and mixed media on them. They are also great for zentangle. The set I have is white and the envelopes are a shade whiter. Rarely when you buy a store bought greeting card does the envelope and card match exactly. The envelopes in the set I bought have a straight edge. The cards themselves have a texture and arrive flat with a crease down the center, making it suitable for either a landscape or portrait card. My printer does not accept this heavy of paper. My husband took the box to Fed-Ex this past fall and they said their copy machines would not take it either. I am not sure if this is 100% accurate as someone said that if you do it yourself the copy machines will accept it.

Worked nice for watercolor card.

Really liked these for my first watercolor card project. No “waffling” of paper. Finished cards are good quality ( “right” thickness ) and I think contributed to compliments received. Price reasonable, as both card and envelope together are less than $1. Bought more as a gift to someone who wanted to try making their own cards. Will buy again.
