Strathmore400 Series Cards, Bristol, 5x6.875 inches, 6 Pack, Envelopes Included - Custom Greeting Cards for Weddings, Events, Birthdays

I ordered this for my daughter because she likes to make custom cards. These cards are a better option than folding A4 papers.I couldn't locate on the packaging anything about the paper weight. They're not thin but they could've been thicker. Still, better than using printing paper.

For a tad over $1 per card, this is a beautiful set for those who truly care enough to send the very best. You can get creative with these by embossing, paper crafting, stamping, painting etc. all while also including your own personalized sentiment. Or, for those into graphic design, these cards can also be run through an inkjet printer - which is what I did. The card stock is smooth and takes ink well. And it is the standard thickness for quality greeting cards. Nice product. 5 Stars.

These are a nice size blank card for creating your own greetings.They'd be great for pen and ink or pencil. I'm not sure how well they'd work with watercolours, but I may give them a try with my water soluble colored pencils.They aren't perfectly only folded. One corner looks correct, but the other corner isn't. Some are worse than others.But I guess they help add to that "homemade" look?

I love making my own cards and I absolutely love this product. It comes with the cards in the envelope. I do think that the paper could have been a tad bit thicker but overall it’s usable and looks great nonetheless.

I bought a package of six Strathmore 300 series blank cards at Dick Blick. They were a delight. Crisp and sturdy. Took ink and colored pencil perfectly. I wanted to buy a larger amount, but only the 400 series came in the larger amount. No problem, I thought. After all, the 400 range is a step up, no? So I ordered a 50-pack of the series 400. What a disappointment! They are flimsier than the 300 series cards. A card, folded and placed in landscape orientation on a flat surface, looks ready to flop open under its own weight. Not worth putting in the effort of creating art work on such a poor support.Flimsy also describes the box the cards and envelopes came in. Basically soft paper held together by shrink wrap plastic. Dear friends at Strathmore, that's 50 cards and 50 envelopes to store and 50 envelopes that started flopping out as soon as I opened the plastic.I will probably buy some more 300 series packs. I'm guessing they contain more starch or dressing or whatever, giving them more heft.

Price: $7.52Purchase date: 3/9/24The paper is not as thick or sturdy as I expected. These are still nice enough for pencil art. I’m afraid they would be too thin for markers.

Pay attention to the measurements. These are tiny, but very good quality paper and envelopes. Good for various mediums if you can work in smaller dimensions. Smooth Bristol is great for dry mediums and can be used with some wet mediums with little manipulation, dry brush etc…would recommend for those that work small.

The media could not be loaded. My daughter loves to make art and cards. These are high quality and elevate her work. Ready to mail.
