How well do these pens work with cardmaking?

I bought them for writing on Black paper and they worked beautifully. I have a black paper journal. They would work great on black cards as well.

NONE BETTER!! They have differing qualities within the brand. The metallic are excellent sparkly from every angle. My newest find are the Souffle which are pastel and finish with a smooth glaze-like a frozen lake. If you can afford it get them ALL!!

Absolutely perfect for card making- one of the best gifts I ever bought! My kidsconstantly use them for everything including making cards!

Hi Amy- these are very wet pens with thick ink. I doodle with them on mail all the time. I just have to give them time to dry. The thick ink looks cool. They aren't my favorite. Try singles at michaels.

very little bleeding, actually. they write very well on thin paper, even newsprint. but that mostly depends on the ink and quality of the paper... more factors than just the pen. messy? if you write *really* slowly, i could see it getting a little wet and sloppy, but... i don't think you'll have a problem.

Very. There is a constant flow of ink. I used them throughout college and never experienced issues. They also dry practically instantly. They come in black/blue varieties if you don't want the colors for notes.

I would recommend you give these a shot, just so you get the hang of using fountain pens again. When I first started to use FPs, I used a very heavy hand-a habit from the ballpoint and rollerball days. Thankfully, I was only using disposable pens so I didn't end up ruining the nibs. Although I've moved on to more expensive pens, I still keep these around. They're good value for money and are good writers as well.

Yes they have a very ultra fine point. I use them to do detail work on stamped handmade cards. They are like using a fine point pen.

I'm not big on this brand of pens, but they do seem to work on some fabrics. For me..I rather spend a few dollars more for a better grade of pen ( Staedtler is my favorite). The tips on Micron pens don't hold up very well.

I have only used the stardust glitter pens and the metallic pens. I have been happy with both of them. I haven't tried the glaze raised ink or the classics yet.

I have not had great luck using these pens on slick surfaces. I would recommend Slick Writers by American craft. They dry quickly and do not smudge on glossy prints or surfaces.

Yes, I've used them with my create and a cintiq with no issue. (With the create, I recommend buying a cover because it wears down nibs fast with its tough surface!)

In theory they should work--but they are a tight fit no matter what. For Magic cards they fit but when they are brand new they may warp the card a little from the snug fit.When I get a new pack I bend them back and forth a few times till they are a little worked in. That way they don't warp the cards any.

These are like note cards. For the dark colors you need to find a clear ink Silver pen works pretty well.

These cards are specifically designed to work with Inkjet printers as they have a slight texture coating to absorb the ink making it permanent. My company made the mistake one time of not paying attention if the "For Inkjet Printers" message was on the order or not, and I ended up with 100 smooth surface cards designed for ribbon type printers such as the Fargo and others. Inkjet printers will make a mess on the smooth cards as the ink is not absorbed without the invisible special coating. Hope this helps.

TheThese work great! I even used them to make faces on snowmen and gingerbread cookies. We first sealed the cookie with royal icing. Once that hardens you can use these pens very well. I have never tried the on an unfrosted cookie.

I use these pens for doing mandala coloring. I would say they are a fine to med. point pen.

They work on glossy cards but keep in mind they are very thin and get damaged easily. They are the best otherwise. Not sure if I would recommend them for glossy cards though. Depends how glossy. If the card has some porous ratio than they are best. If fully glossy, may not be the best choice

I have purchased these pens as well as the multi-colored pack and they work fabulously well -and I have tried many other brands before I purchased these so I have a point of comparison.They do not run on gumpaste. I have never tried them directly on the cake. I will be making a cake today and I can run a small test on a piece of fondant if you want to wait to hear back. My guess is that if the fridge is dry enough it won't. I do keep a hygrometer (9.99 at Target or 12.99 here http://www.amazon.com/Vicks-Healthcheck-Digital-Hygrometer-V70/dp/B004GSWZZU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1430928338&sr;) in my cake fridge to keep an eye on the relative humidity.

Yes. They are also good for applying ink to your stamps. You can write with the smaller end too. Lay down a layer of ink on your image, then go over it to smooth and blend the colors. These are among my favorites. Hope you will like them too.
