I believe the number is 52.
The image is deceiving. The white paper cardstock is for sale.
There are so many options for cardstock, but I'll show you what I came up with. The regular 8 1/2 X 11 inch plain white cardstock sold in packages of 50 at Michaels, as well as the Tim Holtz Craft core nostalgic collection, are both slightly thinner than this product. I purchased Bristol paper (made by Strathmore and a few other companies) and cut the sheets to fit the size of these cards. If you're looking for something a little heavier, Bristol is a much better 'weight.'
On each card, an artist paints or watercolors a drawing, which you can then trade or buy. Because it's the size of a business card, it's simple to get noticed by the general public or simply trade with friends.

I was looking for ACEO-sized paper that had already been cut. This paper isn't up to my standards in terms of quality. This paper does not appear to be of artist or professional quality. Very let down.
I produce a lot of Artist Trading Card series, and these holders are the ideal size and shape for keeping them clean. When I mail them to family, friends, and clients, I can save time by using them. When the package arrived, it was in good condition and arrived on time. In the future, I will most likely purchase from the same seller. I'd like to point out that they're light and appear to be flimsy. They are, however, sturdy enough for my purposes and add little to the weight of the cards when I mail them out. They are well worth the money, and I frequently punch through them to add ribbon, and unlike more expensive ones, they have never ripped or stretched out of shape. They, as well as the seller, come highly recommended by me.
These hold up well to a variety of mediums, including watercolor, gelatos, pen/ink, and acrylic. layering. I just wish one side wasn't as smooth as the other; I'd prefer one side to be rougher and more textured.
Were you like me and spent the last hour on Amazon looking for blank playing cards that could be printed? Finally, you've found your calling! My printer is a backloader, and I've already printed two full sets of these with no problems; it takes ink well and is easy to write on if you need to make quick changes.
For my vineyard-themed wedding, I needed small lineless cards to use as place cards. Anything that wasn't quite as large as an index card but was slightly larger than a standard business card posed a problem for me - Then I came across these "Artist's Trading Cards," which were perfect! We used chalk ink (a quick dry ink) to stamp a lovely grape/vine/flourish pattern on them, which looked fantastic, then wrote out guests' names and table numbers on them and tucked them each into a cork with a slit cut in it. They came out beautifully, and I would recommend them to anyone.
If you know what you're doing, they can work wonders with prismacolor pencils and a blender. It's also a fantastic deal. The price is extremely low for the quantity and quality of the product.
It buckles under the weight of watercolor, but drawing with a pencil is as smooth as writing on ice cream. I'm going to buy some more of these.
Quality and price are excellent. I'm glad I came across these. Thanks!.
