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

high quality

I am an artist and I have re-ordered these cards and envelopes several times. The quality is excellent each time which is especially important to me. I spend a great deal of time drawing and painting on each card and appreciate the consistent quality and longevity of the product. The cards arrive flat and scored. They create a clean line every time that I fold one. The heavy watercolor stock has a nice tooth, texture, providing an increased value to my finished artwork. Customers often comment about the nice paper and how they frame their cards after receiving them. The cream colored cards are accompanied by matching envelopes. They are smooth, nice looking and most importantly, easy to seal. I have previously bought other products with envelopes that did not seal well, requiring me find alternative means. Overall, the high caliber of the card and envelope set is my reason for repurchasing it each time. The value of the 100 pack allows me to keep my prices within reason and continue my artwork. The cards are also available in smaller quantities for those that don’t need a 100 pack and I have directed students to buy those instead. I continue to be very pleased with the card set.

Actually, do not paint on the card. I use watercolor paper and paste it on the top of the card. Card has a beautiful ragged edge. Nice envelope, also. Paper is just a bit too thin for painting with watercolors. If you are light on your watercolor usage, it may work for you. Regardless, nice product.

The Strathmore Greeting cards are the perfect watercolor card for me to paint my cards for my online shop! They hold up well, very sturdy, and they’re easy to paint on.

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.

Attractive, useful for many different occasions. Yes, the envelope paper is slightly lighter than the card stock (a few years ago, they were the same), but its not horrible. Good to have on hand.

Love the cards, but was really disappointed when BOTH my boxes had only 9 cards instead of 10. This aspect makes them more expensive, and I really needed 20 cards for my project.

These are great cards! They are great for water color, but the price went up $15 in just a short few months!

The cards are getting less than 5 stars because they came with corner bends on both the envelopes and cards due to poor packaging. I would have returned them but thought it would be on just a few but each card and envelope have at least one corner bent. Ive used them before without this problem.

This is a great stack of textured postcards. I know its meant for watercolor painting but I sketch places ive been and then go over my sketches with a sharpie before sending them. The paper is thick enough that the ink doesnt bleed through, and theyre fun to send personalized post cards to people! Not to mention, the paper is more of an off-white, cream color instead of bright white, giving it a more antiquated look. These are fun, and a great price for how many you get in a stack (:
