Strathmore Creative Cards, Ivory with Deckle Edge, 5x6.875 inches, 10 Pack, Envelopes Included - Blank Greeting Cards for Weddings, Events, Birthdays

Good quality, nice color/ ivory. Delivered on time

I bought this package of blank cards because I wanted to use them when I make my own cards. I wasn't in need of it immediately and didn't open the package until just recently. To my dismay, it included 100 envelopes and 67 pieces of card stationary. They shorted me 33 pieces!!!!!! I wrote to the manufacturer with no response. Shame on me for not checking the package within the return window but you would think that a name like Strathmore would be sure that their product was reliable. The material itself is beautiful but I am certainly not happy unless they rectify the situation and supply me with the 33 pieces of cards that was missing from the box!!Several days after I submitted my complaint I was contacted by a Customer Service Rep apologizing for the inconvenience and asking for my address so they could rectify the mistake. The FedEx package is on its way with the missing pieces of cardstock. I am very pleased with the response from Strathmore and will definitely purchase again. The product is beautiful.

Excellent quality, holds washes well, and generally takes pen and ink without problems although too much pressure can break the paper's surface or scuff it or cause the ink to bleed. Works with acrylics but may buckle if too much water is used*. For watercolors, I tend to use Strathmore's cards (105210) made for that medium. Great for adults and kids to create their own holiday cards, greeting cards, or invitations. Note: When I use an ink that may bleed if it gets wet, I will spray it with a fixative to help protect it. If I mail it, I wrap it in plastic and send it in another envelope just in case. The paper is 80-lb. and lightly textured (looks like an orange peel). Good all purpose paper and I like deckle edges. I would never use this in a color printer -- too much lint, ink doesn't seem to adhere well, and may cause printer problems if used too often. (Check with your printer's manufacturer first. Some printers can take card stock; some cannot.)*When (not if) I've done this, I usually can unbuckle the cards by letting the card dry so the colors don't smear, then put the card on a hard surface with a plain piece of paper on top of the painted side, then put a heavy book or two on top of that for a couple of days. Also, I've placed a warped card face down on a sheet of plain paper on top of a board, placed a dish towel over the card, and ironed it with a slightly warm (not hot) iron in a circular pattern for several minutes. Both have worked, but it's easier not to flood the paper to begin with. Easy to say, so hard to do at times. :-)

Used for wedding did my own printing. Turned out great and I saved money!

My recommend these all the time to people that paint or do collage. People who make their own cards will look at this and see it as an opportunity to beIf you don’t sell cards that doesn’t make any difference, you can give your friends handmade cards that are wonderful as gifts as well as mail them to peopleI will continue to buy these

I love the deckle edging and my watercolors take to the paper well.

great for watercolor painting.

I’m not sure why but I assumed these cards would be smooth. This was likely my mistake (not fully reading the description). Since they are heavily textured they are not ideal for drawing. I also was not a fan of the torn edge on one side. That being said, I made them work but I probably wouldn’t purchase them again.
