Using Aurora Art Natural 300 for cards.
Earl Eliason, Jun 18, 2026
I match these hefty natural color cards with my color prints for a rich, dynamic greeting card. (I use Polar White cards with my black and white images for emphasis on the detail of the image.} Color prints on this Aurora Art Natural stock take on a painterly overtone, yet are sharp. The texture of the card itself emphasizes the uniqueness of the card.
Luxurious, durable & versatile for more than just standard prints!
Cassandra Shawver, Jun 09, 2026
I've been using Aurora Natural 300 for prints, bookmarks & dimensional shadowboxes of my gouache illustrations for years, and it's absolutely wonderful - I love the matte finish, warm tone, subtle texture & incredible archival quality! Any folks who are looking for a paper that can create beautifully detailed prints with accurate color & a luxe feel, but also handle a few extra levels of crafting - this is the absolute best paper I have tried, hands down.
Since I make items that are handled very regularly or open to the elements, I can speak to the incredible durability & versatility of this paper, especially considering it's fibrous content - many other cotton papers I tried shed fibers when cut and were easily damaged! I do seal everything with Moab Desert Varnish, but this stock handles beautifully - any accidents short of a *major* impact only cause a shiny difference in finish instead of scraping the ink off. This was the case for both my dye-based Pro100 *and* when I upgraded to the pigment-based Prograf310!
The paper goes through my Cameo 4 very cleanly as long as I have a fresh blade - though I opt for the thinner 250 for more intricate cuts. I also hand paint the edges of the cut pieces, and adhere the prints to each other & acetate with an archival tape runner - and to foam core & balsa with PVA glue. I never have any warping issues outside of user error!
For any stationery lovers out there, I was also very pleased to find that note cards made from this paper take fountain pen beautifully - a big selling point to the ink & nib-loving demographic!

It Spoke For Itself
Sabrina Jones, May 30, 2026
I printed a significant portion of my artwork on Aurora Art Natural 300, and the response was immediate.
The print bin was consistently active, and I received several compliments on how vibrant and rich the artwork appeared on this paper. The color held beautifully, and the finish gave the work a strong, elevated presence.
What stood out most was that many collectors didn’t ask about the story behind the pieces they were drawn in purely by the visual impact.
The artwork on Aurora Art Natural 300 truly spoke for itself.
