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

My career was in the printing industry. Strathmore has always been an exceptional supplier. Since I retired Ive been using these cards for 4 years printing reproductions of my original art on them with my Canon printer. The heavier card stock and high quality appearance of the reproduced art has been wonderful. And my customers love them. However, the make up of the paper stock has been changing. I started noticing this on purchases before my last art and craft show in June 2015. I have purchased a couple of times from different sellers since then and the problem continues across the board. I can no longer get a beautiful smooth appearance on a solid area of color on many of my paintings (and this is on a note card)! Even my husband agreed, . . . you cant sell those. Also the original deckled edge on the envelopes was changed to a straight edge and the price has continued to go up. Im very disappointed, as the original stock could not be touched by competition.

Ive been buying the 10 packs but Im going through them too fast, time to move up to 50! I love these cards. They are the perfect size for me, and I get to share the finished results with friends and loved ones. I will say they do warp a little if Im not careful about how much water Im using, but they press down just fine. ***Not making any claims to originality with the images attached. Ive been practicing my skills by imitating other peoples much better paintings.

Love these watercolor cards. Texture is great.

I found them to be a fabulous way to practice my watercolors. Now I have cards and thank you notes for every occasion!

Good quality and especially for the price - I like the paper for doodling or making my own cards to send friends.

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 (:

Quality cards

I used these cards for a 5-color screen printed design on the outside and a greeting/message on the inside, so they went through the screen printing process 6 times. Lots of handling! The paper quality is excellent—smooth and absorbent, but tight enough to create crisp images. I also appreciate that these cards come in boxes of 100. I only wish they were available in a larger size!

Its kind-of hard to neatly fold watercolour paper to perfect looking cards, these are great, good quality paper and the envelopes are good quality too.

I make block print greeting cards and have learned the hard way that certain inks bleed on certain papers. I have used several different types of ink on these Strathmore printmaking cards and have had exquisit results. My prints dont bleed -- the paper takes to the ink beautifully. The quality of the card stock and the envelopes is excellent -- very professional looking. I am super pleased!
