Strathmore Announcement Card,Fluor.white / Fluor. White Deckle,3.5x4.875 in

I recently took up watercolor painting and thought it would be fun to make my own greeting cards for birthday's etc. This was my first one in the photo, and it's pretty easy to fill this space with something pretty.I thought that the paper weight was good. I did not put a ton of water on the paper but it did hold up well. The inside and outside are the same so you could paint something inside too. I just used a marker to write my message inside but in the future might paint a little something inside and out, or even on the back.The envelopes are just standard. It would be nice if they were colored, but I can live with white envelopes. I might try some different sizes next time. I just got a set of 10 of these to see how I would like them and I really love them.Thanks for reading my review

I’ll use for my Christmas cards.

I like this product and had used it before. It is fun to do original watercolor art and give them as gifts.

Good quality watercolor paper.

I like the weight. Sturdy for acrylic. No bleeding through.

Excellent quality, tooth, and thickness. Works well with gouache with no bleedthrough. One side has a standard cold press texture and the other is slightly laid. Both sides take pen and ink well with minimal bleeding. If you're thinking about blanks to make cards with get this set. I liked mine so much that I bought a second set.

Product is great! It arrived promptly & in super shape for me to use immediately. I am giving a workshop in creating artistic postcards, so this product is perfect. Thank You!

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.

These are nice quality cards and envelopes and are a quick and easy way to produce a watercolour greeting card without having the hassles of cutting paper to size and matching with an envelope. I'll buy these again without hesitation.

Perfect paper and nice envelopes. I painted Christmas cards for the family and they loved it!

I love these cards, and have now purchased them 3 times over the last few months. They are ivory/off-white which I think gives a nicer look. They are perfect for making watercolour paintings which I then send to family and friends for birthdays, anniversaries etc. I would definitely recommend them.

The outer package was damaged although the cards and envelopes were ok. Not a problem as I had got them to use myself, would not have been good if they had been purchased as a gift.

I like these to paint watercolour cards. They are very good quality, work well with my paints and look professional when finished.
