[genie1314]

Have you used these? What do you think?

I've no clue what an Arturo card is...guess I'd better subscribe to this thread. ;)

Juliehrr made the card "Merci Bouquet" using this paper and it looks wonderful...

This paper reminds me of Fabriano Mediovalis Folded Reply Cards. I wonder if the quality is the same? The colors look beautiful.

[amysings]

Ellen says it is the same quality--I think made by the same manufacturer? I added some on to my order yesterday for the highly touted Palette Hybrid Noir ink pad. :-)

I can't wait to get mine from Ellen!!!! Should have them in about a week I think! WAHOO!! I got the variety pack to see which colors I can't live without.

I KNOW Celadon is one of them! ***DROOOOL***

I want to add that anything those gals do (juliehrr and ellen) is AWESOME!! They can make a .50 cent stamp look amazing. There I put in my two cents worth!!!

I did the same exact order yesterday!! yes, I know I posted that I wouldn't be ordering any more paper for a while, but I lost my mind when i saw these in Ellen's store!!

[Inkalicious]

I ordered 4 packs of the multi-color packs from Ellen!! I totally forgot about the Palette Hybrid Noir pad darn it!!!
I also ordered a box of 100 Fabriano cards from another site. Are the Arturo replacing the Fabriano? Ive never used them and cant wait to feel them!

[Joan B]

No, they are not replacing Fabriano. They are different products. Arturo comes in colors. I got the assortment pack and when they arrive I want to see how they line up with SU colors..

Ladies, once you receive your cards will you please post back to this thread and give me your input as to the quality and colors. Are you impressed with them? I am not sure I would like to watercolor on the colored paper, and am trying to decide if I "need" this paper. I love my Fabriano Mediovalis paper and use it all the time, but will I really use this too?

[Doris]

OK, has anyone gotten their cards yet? Do you like them? How was the weight of the paper? Did it accept ink well?

Please give me your thoughts...I value your opinion....

[nmslmomto3]

bump, inquiring minds want to know. love my fabriano paper, wondering if this is a must have..lol

[trudee]

I don't have them yet!! (gawd I can't wait!!)

[amysings]

I have them, but I'm afraid to stamp on them.
