📦 Strathmore 105-18-1 Mixed Media, 3.5x4.875 Vellum Cards & Envelopes - 10 Set Review

I've recently started making mixed media birthday cards. I like the size and strength of these cards. My only advice is that you stress the corners while your project dries or the edges will curl.

I was disappointed with these postcards. The paper is not watercolor paper, but a rather smooth, not very thick paper, better suited for colored pencils, pastels or ink. I have bought other Strathmore postcards and prefer them for watercolors.

love it! I mainly use them for watercolors and they are great. They're smaller than the standard card size, which I like, as your art can be smaller and maybe less complex (making it easier on cards). I make pretty simple designs and people love them :)

Works well with watercolor. The page may warp a little if you only apply a few coats, but taping the edges will prevent this. Contrary to my dreams, this map is not suitable for alcohol markers as they leak and ruin the inside of the map. I wish I could find marker paper or a set of shading cards! Otherwise great for creating personalized greeting cards!

I usually buy Strathmore watercolor cards. But based on the reviews I decided to give it a try. It might be fine for other mediums, but I wouldn't recommend it for watercolors. There's no tooth to hold the color and the colors just don't look right (this is the first time I've tried a piece I've painted before so I know how it should turn out). Guilty. I know parchment is a smooth surface but I've never painted on it. Ah, lesson learned.

love these! I misunderstood the description so I thought I had received the wrong product but upon re-reading the description I realized the fault was mine and gave them a try even though they weren't exactly what I wanted , well, they are better than I wanted ! I've used all kinds of ink, chalk, crayon, your name, I've used it and they've held up great! Will order again and recommend! I've also used all kinds of paper glue, even some questionable glue, paint, stickers, etc! They withstood…
