Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

They take paint well and have a traditonal watercolor texture to them. It holds pigment decently on the rough side. Can use acrylic, watercolor, gouache, etc.

Sturdy 140lb weight watercolor paper. They are thicker and handle the watercolors very well, keeping the paper from warping really bad.

Cons

This package is clearly labeled incorrectly. I am terribly disappointed with strathmore quality control.

The texture is so cheap, even the lightest wash almost destroys the card. It doesn't absorb water, the water just floats until it's murky. Not at all like the texture watercolor paper normally has.

The paper rolls up and is awful. A block of cards and envelopes are delicate and need to be securely packaged. This box of 100 has paper akin to canson xl student paper - not nice like it used to be.

Highlights

Quality

The paper is sturdy wet on wet techniques work fine and i’ve been very pleased with the results

I use this high quality water color paper for card making

Ive used these watercolor cards for years but the quality of the current paper is not the same

These are ok fir my card making but i also didnt expect quality watercolor paper for this price

Packaging/appearance

I do like that amazon is using less packaging but these arrived with out any packaging at all and the corners were bent

Competitiveness

I have sometimes glued it to a 5x7” watercolor weight greeting card and extended my design

At almost 5x7 these watercolor cards are a decent size

I had a box of arteza watercolor cards and envelopes before and the watercolor paper was horrible
