metaFox Blank Postcards Pack - 50 Blank Cards Perfect as Mindfulness Gifts

Nice quality cards and a good blank canvas to decorate to taste. I have used these for rubber stamping and then coloured with Derwent pencils and also Copic pens and the card works great for those. I also decorated with Washi tapes and stickers and am pleased with those too. I use my creations to send as part of the postcrossing project and will likely get more when these run out.

I took up painting with watercolours about 18 months ago as a form of relaxation. I’d wanted some postcard sized paper to paint on, so these were perfect size.The paper feels more like cardboard, so I was worried my water-colours wouldn’t blend well. I was really surprised to find that they still worked well and was pleased with how they looked.Acrylic paints stick well, and brush pens (although they need a little extra time to dry than on normal paper). These have a good thickness and are neatly cut – plain on the front and the back has a printed line and box for a stamp.The paper does start to bend if it gets too wet, so with paint, it’s better for smaller designs rather than painting edge-to-edge.

Nice idea to have some pre cut and back printed postcards for your own designs...no more donkeys and deck chairs..you can paint you own masterpiece...or get the kids to go wild with those crayons.Good quality white card with the printed side divided into two one side for address and one side for the message...I guess you could just write a very long message on the front ...and carry it over.....I think slightly different size than you usual picture postcard...a bit more space to get arty.They come in a sturdy box which is useful for storing them until ready....

What you get here are basically 50 bits of card with a square and a line printed on one side. In other words, a blank postcard. The card is thick enough for most media as long as you don't saturate it with watercolour washes, but it's not so thick that I think it would survive being posted. Since that is the intended purpose, it seems a little pointless.The mindfulness marketing is also a little annoying, it feels like cashing in. As someone who has suffered depression and uses art as a way of being calm and focused, I was disappointed that there is nothing supplied even as a minor guide to being mindful, all that's in the box are the cards. If I was giving a mindfulness gift, I'd want something that at least gave some guidance to anyone who's unfamiliar with the practice.

If you're looking for plain post cards then these are fine but they're not good quality thick card. On one side is a centre divide and space for a stamp. I didn't like them for painting on with acrylics because the card would buckle as it got wet so it wouldn't suit watercolour painting. With pens they didn't bleed or smudge - I tries a variety from Sharpies to BIC pens. None of these bled through to the other side either. They'd be fine for using with coloured pens or pencils.

I love these postcards and they are a brilliant addition to my crafting box.Painting is one of my hobbies and these are perfect for when I go away. I can paint the scenery on my holiday and send the postcard to friends and family. It's a beautiful way of adding that personal touch.The postcards are a good thickness and support different media. So far I've used acrylic and water paints, both of which have been successful.

These are fine and are what they say they are - although they are not high enough GSM to be classed as postcards in my opinion. They are more like thick paper.They are printed on one side with a line and a square for the stamp but nothing else. They are matt and smooth. I would have preferred a little more textured so you could’ve used them for watercolor.They are OK but I think you can find better if you’re after postcards to paint on. Alternatively I would just buy some decent paper and cut them into postcard size with a guillotine!

These are just blank cards. A bit expensive but very good quality. You can use them for whatever you want really. A good size for most uses.
