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

These are good quality cards. I prefer sending personalized cards and these do fit the bill. Theyre well made, nice to use and Im happy sending them to friends and family... although as often as not I just cut a page out of a sketchbook and send that as a card. All of that said, you can get the same result in a more economical way (and if youre already painting in watercolor then with material you probably already have). Cutting down full size watercolor sheets will yield as many cards for something like half the price... although these are printed on the back, so they look a little more official I suppose. Having purchased and used these I would just recommend getting a pad of 9x12 and cutting pages down as needed.

I make my personal cards applying 4 x 6 photos and these fit the bill.

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.

These are good sized cards - I actually wish they were a notch smaller. The paper can’t handle the amount of water I’d like before the paper starts to ball up, so something to note if you go this route. After I’ve used these, I’ll likely cut my own cards from the paper I prefer and just buy the envelopes.

shipping in poly bag not a good idea!

this watercolor postcard tablet is not blank on both sides, as most of this type are, but is printed on the reverse, with wide, dark lines and a mock stamp, with the place stamp here text to put your stamp on. as I was planning to use it for field practice and wanted the option to use both sides, and also planned to use some for miniature card projects (folded in half), this just did not work. there is nothing wrong with it, but there really should be an image of the back on the product page and, at the very least, a description on the package that states that the pages are lined and printed for mailing on the back. in another time, I might have considered drawing my own, much narrower lines to suit my personal handwriting size and writing style, but, as it is, I would not think to open mail a watercolor landscape I was happy with and wanted to share (wouldnt they get damaged, anyhow?). because this postcard book is designed in such a way as to limit its use, I am giving it three stars and a general meh.

As a professional artist, Ive been using Strathmore products for many years. These cards are made of heavy watercolor paper. Ive used all media on these cards - watercolor, acrylic, collage, ink and even spray paint. Never disappointed. The envelopes are well made as well with a heavy stock. I always keep these cards in my studio...a homemade card is always a special gift.

These are real postcards, nice and sturdy. Good for sketching, decoupage, paints, pen/ink on watercolor, collage and other multi-media. I use these in creativity classes I teach, and I keep plenty on hand to send. Especially with stress and anxiety these days, this is a lifesaver.

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.
