Too many GEL PRINTS? Here's a SYSTEM (SIMPLE)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 бер 2021
- It's easy to get overwhelmed with all the cool gelli prints from your monoprinting sessions. But the question is what to do with gel prints? Which ones make the cut? Can you throw them out? Before you get overwhelmed with it all, let me show you how I reign in the chaos...I've got a system!
I'm collaborating with Kerry Hill from Inkhill Revival today. Together we're reigning in chaos and turning it loose at the same time. Should be a fun pair of videos. Kerry's channel is CRAZY good. Definitely watch a few and consider subscribing. I LOVE the way she thinks!

I didnt realize till I watched your vid, I do an a and b pile already and have c pile that I didn't realize I had till you brought it up. I like how you impart your information, catches my attention.
I used to use the ABC method of organizing my gel prints. However, for me personally, it didn't work well. I now just have all my gel prints in a box. The prints that I originally thought were not good enough or not finished, are often the ones that I want to make something with. The 'ugly duckling' ones as I call them, often turn out to be just right for my project I am working on. Having said that. your ABC method is great, if that works for you! It gets back to what works for YOU! Great video Ingrid, many thanks and stay well:-)
Stil trying to get started! I wish I had half of what you have but your channel has given me lots of ideas and inspiration!
I would love to buy your gelli print on deli paper, use them to cover tags, atc, etc. Love variety 😍
Make a collage painting with them!
What a great system. I need to pull out all mine and sort them. Thank you!
YOU more organizing? I think of you every time I organize chickie....LOL. Did you see your art on my shelf...LOL. Thanks for popping by to watch and comment. 😍😘🎨
I also cut out a lot of 3/8-inch strips for washi tape. From the B prints and even the C prints, and especially the brayer-off sheets. I too use everything I print to make backgrounds for cards. Love this video, Ingrid.
I literally learned how to do gel prints from you...Yeap I got a ton now 🙃and couldn't let go or finish.. WHO KNEW you'd give us a system to organize and then a bonus on how to actually find new suggestions how to add additional technics that help us "elevate the looks" and not have to always start from scratch 😉. I'm so excited to dive in my stash now.
I have over 500 background prints.
I asked a FB group for advice, one of the women ask me to send them to her on her dollar.
She plans to take them to a senior center and have the seniors create things with them.
I'll be keeping some but most will go to her to make room for the next set of 500+ prints I want to pull.
I LOVE that! Yes, so much, it's more than I can use myself. I do plan on binding my own art journal with several. And others I use on other projects, coasters, cards, art journal pages, on canvases and the list goes on... Thanks so much for watching and leaving some comments! 😍😘🎨
Helpful information & I love seeing your prints/cards. Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this great info!!!
Now to go sort my prints not only from the gel plate but also all those ugly alcohol ink tries too! Thank you for giving me a way to sort and use them!
So true!!! I have so much and do not want to get rid of!! Thanks for sharing!! That helps a lot!!!
Such great ideas! So happy I found your channel.
Love, love, love your site. I've been printing on and off foR some time and find youe site very helpful. Soooo many ideas, problems solved, and inspiration. Thanks.
Awesome!
this is so cool Ingrid!! love these ideas!! I never think to use the ugly ones LOL
The ugly ones are THE BEST - espeically for bits and pieces in journals and canvases. Thanks for watching chickie. 😀😍🎨
Oh my gosh! You are a genius! Thank you. I just started making Gel prints and I already have a basket full! This is a brilliant way to use them. I especially love how you use the ugly ducklings. Perfect for Christmas ornaments and cards!!!
Great ideas! 🤗🥰
Great idea 👍🏼
Just found your videos and I’m a fan. I’m also a fellow hoarder. I just want to make more all the time. I sort my prints in scrapbooking plastic containers and even those are overflowing. It takes discipline to work with what you already have! Maybe exchanging some of the hoards might be fun. 😁
Great informative video 🥰 I love your backgrounds and your projects ❤ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs xx
You just made my month, with this video! I hate throwing them away too, it’s like my brain says “It’s the principal of the matter! You can’t quit on that mess now!” 😂 SO glad you gave us this sorting idea!!! I have the perfect place for ABC paper bins!🤩
LOVE "You can't quit on that mess now!" Brilliant. Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. 😀😍🎨
I just love this I am so there
Had to catch this on replay...your gelli prints are always amazing! Off to check out Kerry's video!
Thanks Karen! SO good to see you - hope you're doing well chickie!!! 😘😘😘
I love this system! The concept of building more layers onto the B prints in the future is incredibly helpful. Yes to creating more A prints, less b prints!!!! Thanks, Ingrid!
That was so much fun today - LOVED your video Kerry! Yes, the concept of building more layers onto B is one definitely to adopt. C too!!! 😘😘🎨
Yep, for sure.
I’m so grateful I found you and your channel! Gelli printing was an enigma to me, and I have to confess, something that I didn’t take all that seriously. Wow!! Dummy me! Your creations are amazing! And I admire you and your style of presentation. It’s as if we’re right next to you in your studio. Thank You!
Thanks so much, that's quite a compliment! Welcome. 😀 I was like that in the beginning too - seemed unapproachable, but it's so much fun, and highly addictive. You can use them SO many ways. Love that you're exploring this artform! Thanks for watching. 😀😍🎨
Tear, punch, trim and repaint or add more ink! I organize by color for smaller pieces to save for cardmaking!
You are right, Ingrid...the stash increases with creativity and printing sessions! Thanks for your insights!💙🧡💛❤️💜
Isn't THAT the truth. I love hoarding it all though....lol. Thanks for popping by to watch and comment. 😍😘🎨
Excited to see you have a coaster video coming! I was going to ask how you created the coasters.
I love your can do attitude it pushes me to do something with all those prints lol
YAY - can't wait to hear what you did with them! A challenge maybe? No pressure - well, maybe a little nudge 😂😉 Thanks for watching. 😀😍🎨
AWESOME tips and you have solved my fears about gel printing! I was able to try it and I love it but I am so not looking forward to a pile of unused backgrounds! But you, my friend, just gave me the right tips to tackle this! Thank you from me and from my gel plate 😂💖✨
WOOHOO chickie!!! Ya, I LOVE having these piles - cause when I'm in a pinch, I know exactly where to go. Keep on shinning! Thanks for watching. 😀😍🎨
Thank you for the info and the encouragement. A question what paper you use beside copy paper?
Oh man I have a problem getting rid of things too. Ahhh.
YOU and ME both chickie!!! SO fun to see you over here. 😍😘🎨
I only have 2 piles ‘finished’ prints that get stored by dominant colour with my patterned papers and unfinished which I leave on my desk to finish first next time the gel plate comes out. If I have roll off sheets I put them in my paper scraps for die cutting.
I 🤔 think I need to do as you suggested and keep working on some backgrounds I already have. Maybe that's why I don't like them, they are not done yet? unfortunately they will never look as fantastic as yours. 😑. Thanks for the encouragement to divide and conquer!
Oh definitely keep going on them Mary. You'll be surprised to see how amazing you can make them!!! Thanks for popping by to watch and comment. 😍😘🎨
What do people do with their finished journals, cards, etc?
I don't have enough storage space where I live for much more than my supplies and worktable.
Great question Cheryl! Art journals people keep like scrapbooks and photo albums - as it's their art. Cards, I keep a stash, for myself just to have - again art, and many I send to love ones. Some people create and donate to places like Retirement, Vet homes, etc... Some people sell their art! 😍🎨🎨
@@IngridBlackburn thank you. The question has been on my mind for over a year.
Can you tell me what the paper is that you use
Absolutely! I do have a supply list in the description with everything linked. It's on Amazon for $13 for a ream of 250 sheets. Neenah EXACT 90 OR 110 pound. Not cardstock, but Exact paper. IT's thin, super bright white and smooth. Perfect, and cheap. That and deli paper...lol. Thanks for popping by to watch and comment. 😍😘🎨
Ingrid I need to pick your brains, ive watched most of your tutorials on here and Ive seen you use white stuff and a paint brush and you tap it for like a snow falling effect , i just cant find the right video again lol x
Do you accept messages via Messenger or email?
Just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you and hope all is well. You are missed.
Unrelated ( kinda ) comment: I wonder if anyone else would want to buy anyone else’s extra prints to use to make pins? lol
Now to go sort my prints not only from the gel plate but also all those ugly alcohol ink tries too! Thank you for giving me a way to sort and use them!
