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

The cards are great but the envelopes are kind of crappy. They need an upgrade.

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.

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!

I usually purchase at hobby stores, no longer carried. I ordered a box of 50 and received my order the same day. These r great ,hold color well,easy to work with.

Easy to use, nice mailing size, thick paper that holds up to getting very wet with paints. I have mailed many of these postcards out to friends around the world. They look good and the colors are well-represented.

Good quality paper. Great size for traveling. Preprinted with a place to write and send as a postcard if you wanted to.

I expected to receive 100 cards as the photo stated but instead received a package containing half of the amount. When I requested the 100 pack to be sent, I received another package of 50 and was charged again. NOT HAPPY!

Love these postcards, I definitely will order again. I used watercolor paints on a few and with some I used acrylic paints, the card weight worked excellent with both mediums. I ordered this size on a whim and found they are just right for a quick little card that you dont wish to elaborate on tiny fine details. I did insert them in envelopes for mailing so uncertain at this time as to how well they would post in the mail. The paper is white, not a bright blue white but not an ivory white either. I sealed the paintings with a gloss varnish, the cards did not wrinkle nor curl, I painted edge to edge without taping the cards down nor did I prep the card with primer.

These were just what I was looking for to create smaller pieces of mixed media art. The stock is heavier than watercolor paper, so its perfect for just about anything you can throw on it!

These cards are perfect for watercolor paints. I’d purchase these again! They absorb a lot of water and can become a bit distorted/warped, but if you love that card in its envelope for a few days, they straighten out well. Overall very pleased with this purchase.
