After searching for a good way to offer some of my art and photography as greeting cards for friends and family, I finally ordered a few packs of these Strathmore Photo Mount cards.
While the cards are a decent quality (much better than the flimsy, rough ones that are available at big box craft stores...), the problem is that there is an embossed design of dots, flourishes, and sort of "floral-eqsue" elements that goes around the entire frame for the photo. I assumed the "embossed element" was simply a raised sets of lines to insert the photo into. Instead, it's a design element, and very apparent on each card.
This would probably be fine for most uses, but in case you are like me, and want something completely plain for your work/photos, this is not the right card for that purpose. Just thought you might want to know!
I went ahead and ordered Strathmore Watercolor Blank Greeting Card pack of 50 instead. No border, but no competing design.

These cards are of a nice sturdy quality with a little embossed design around the edges, which does not distract from the artwork I am placing on the cards. The photo adhesives that come with the cards seem strong and I am not worried about my artwork falling off the cards. I also like that they come with matching envelopes.Best Deals for Photo Mount Cards
I have tried all sorts of cards for making my own, but it's the Strathmore ones that win out. They're durable if you are going to draw on them or paint on them. They're a good texture to handle, and they hold their own when you attach photos to them.Also, they run through the printer very well if you want to personalize a message on them. Some cards make the ink streaky or blotchy. Not with these.)
These are my favorite for creating cards with artwork.

I am a mixed-media artist and I use those cards to sell prints of my original artworks.The embossing makes them really chic and nice.
I tried different models in the past and this model really is my favorite. They are perfect for special events and/or christmas cards as well.
