Makes beautiful handpainted cards

Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2024

Style: 100 PackPattern Name: CardsSize: 5x6.875Verified Purchase

I use these for my watercolor projects...making cards for friends and relatives. The paper takes the watercolor paint very well and works with either wet on wet or wet on dry techniques. I found they fold just one way, so make sure you fold them correctly before embarking on a painting. If you fold the other way, the edges will not line up. I tape them down when painting which helps keep them flat after the paint has dried. Very pleased with them. (And...if I am not pleased with the way the painting came out, I just cut the card in half where the fold is and use the blank side to create another painting which i can then frame or paste onto a larger paper to send as a card. )

A use that may not come to mind

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2023

Style: 10 PackPattern Name: CardsSize: 5x6.875Verified Purchase

Of course these cards are great for make-your-own cards with your own artwork.

But I also find them wonderful for another use. The appropriate thing, according to etiquette books, when offering condolences. is a letter, not a Hallmark card. These serve admirably, in that they are just about the right size for handwritten condolences, the paper takes a variety of dark inks well from different pens, whether conventional or calligraphic, and the card has an elegant feel. It is also heavy enough to conceal easily an enclosure of "in lieu of flowers" currency, so the mailpiece is more likely to arrive intact. I generally like to put the card and enclosure within the supplied envelope and use a booklet envelope as a carrier envelope; this will just about come to one ounce, but the stamp itself may add just enough to raise the postage requirement - just depends, so weigh it if you do what I do. No carrier envelope, well within one ounce. BTW, currency has non-zero weight.

Sorry to go on so about the practicalities of a less-pleasant exercise, but we all encounter these events, and anything that helps convey heartfelt sentiments gracefully at the right time (especially when at a long distance) is welcome. Hope this is helpful to some.

Great for Painting Gifts for Family and Friendsd

Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2024

Style: 100 PackPattern Name: CardsSize: 5x6.875Verified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

I love painting watercolor cards for family and friends. It's a great way to share something personal with them in a non-pressuring way. That is, if I painted an actual wall painting for a friend and gave it to that friend, now the friend would feel pressure to hang it somewhere in their home. If instead I send them a card, they can put it on their desk if they want, tuck it in a drawer if they want, or frame it if they want. It is a much gentler way to send artwork.

These Strathmore cold-press watercolor cards are full notecards, meaning they have an inside section. Sometimes when you buy watercolor "cards" they are just rectangles of paper without any fold or inside. More like "postcards" than "notecards".

I find the quality level of these to be quite fine. They hold the paint well and will stand up to being framed and lasting a while. Perfect for my projects.

Well recommended.

Style: 50 PackPattern Name: CardsSize: 5x6.875Verified Purchase

These are individual cards of watercolor paper so you can paint your own cards. They are not the highest quality watercolor paper (not 100% cotton) but are fine for making simple cards, if you are not using a lot of wet-in-wet technique. The envelopes are nice quality and fit well.
