Very well done video, Kim, showing folks how easy it is to create interesting and beautiful prints. Your prints are lovely.
What a brilliant idea! I often stress out over the backgrounds for cards - this way is fabulous! Thanks Kim xxx
I'm glad you liked it Helen. Have fun trying it out!
Fab projects! Thank you for this I can never see too many gel printing demos, just need to make sure I practise more with my own plates!! Xx
LOL! Well have lots of fun when you do!
Your cards are just stunning,you’ve given me a totally new way to look at my beloved gel plates.
Dawn from the UK
Brilliant! I'm very pleased. Enjoy having a play Dawn!
Thanks Kim, really enjoying all your videos thanks.
Ahh thank you! I'm glad you like them!
Heating tape with a heat gun softens the adhesive, asking it easier to remove. Learned this from Keren Tamir on UA-cam. The gelli plate is so fun to play with and the more layers, the more interest. Great video!
Oh that is a great tip! I will try it! Thanks for sharing ❤️ And thanks for the shout out to where you found it too! I will definitely check out Keren's channel.
Great, thanks Kim. I'm having a go now! I've started with envelopes and I'm moving on to cards. You've inspired me. 🙂 💞
That's great! Have lots of fun!
These are great. I use my gel plates on cut paper but never on card blanks. I love the masking borders you did but have not used masking. I'm going to try that the next time I'm gelli printing. Great idea!!!!! TFS 😊 😊 😊
Thanks Judy! Have fun trying it out when you next get a chance!
Kim , Thank you very much for your swift reply. Think I’ll go with the Gel Press then since it’s marginally cheaper! 👍
Very cool, I love the look of these cards!! I really enjoy Gell Plate printing and I will try doing this myself with some new stencils I have just received. Thanks so much for sharing Kim, I enjoy watching you tutorials and learn something new each time. 😊❤️
Ahh thanks Helen! I'm glad you enjoyed it and have fun! Don't forget that if you feel like sharing the results I would love to see! But no pressure if you don't! 😂
Stunning prints. Had to go buy that stencil. Thanks so much for linking where to get it in Canada too, so thoughtful of you. Love your work!
Oh it is beautiful isn't it?! I hope you have fun using it.
Wonderful! Can’t wait to try this. Thanks for sharing
Have fun trying it out!
I love these prints Kim, mind you l am a massive gelli printing addict!!! LOL. I just need to find the time to spend to do more of it!!
Thank you fellow addict 🤣 Hope you get some time to play this week!
Thank you for these great tips! I also keep a spare envelope and slide the other part of the card into it to keep it clean as I'm always getting paint everywhere.
Great tip! Thanks Katanya.
They're so beautiful... I've never printed directly on the cardbase (too scary!), but I'll be brave and give it a try now because it looks very professional. I love it, thanks Kim! ❤
I know! It is a little daunting but remember that if you get prints on the card blank that you don't like as much you can always cut them up to make embellishments!
Kim Dellow Yes you're right, it's only paper!
Another great tutorial Kim. Thank you. X
Thank you Karen! ❤️
Beautiful prints! Thanks for sharing 💜
Thank you for watching! 💚
Beautiful!
Thank you!
Kim, thank you so much I really love 💕 those prints they’re superb. And this is a brilliant idea 💡 xxx Mags
My pleasure Mags! I am really glad you liked them.
I LOVE these - you know I would! I think it's perfect for making backgrounds for adding stamped and coloured images to. I have a couple of other projects lined up, but gelli printing should be back on the agenda in a month or two! Will let you know :) xx
Ha ha! Yep I think you are right perfect for a bit of stamping! Have fun and I'm looking forward to seeing what you get up to!
I have a card to make today and will be doing this technique! Thanks!
Ooo brilliant! Have fun and if you fancy sharing the results on social media anywhere I would love to see, so feel free to link me in! My social media links are in the video description.
Kim Dellow I just tagged you in my card on Instagram. I will be making more. Such fun!
Loved it! The background is wonderful and the bunny is the cutest! Love the carrot!
Brilliant. Thanks for sharing!
I am glad you liked it!
realy cool, thanks.... yesterday i took my 8X10 gel press plate and cut it in 1/2 to and then took one 1/2 and cut that in half so i have 3 smaller plates. I had only used my larger plate 2 times in 3 years. Yesterday I spent about 2 hours making prints using my smaller plates because i found it so much easier to use the smaller plates than the one big plate. Wish I had cut it down so long ago.
That's great! I hope you enjoy your 'new' plates! Have you also tried jigsaw-ing some or all of them back together? I wonder if you would get some interesting line patterns in the joins?
Which do you prefer, the Gelli Arts or the Gel Press plate? Thanks
I can't really tell the difference personally. Both work really well and are great products so I don't think you can go far wrong with either.
thank you for a super video!
Thank you and I am glad you liked it!
another suggestion: if you do any stamping, this would be a great technique on blank cards that may have stamping mistakes. You'd be covering up the mistakes with paint. I'm guilty of messing up a few ;-)
I great idea for stampers, TFS Debs.
That's a nice idea
Thank you! 💙
These are lovely, you are very brave to do this ,,. I know I would mess it up lol,,,xxxx
Ha ha! I know! It is a bit of a leap of faith. But I just cut up the ones I mess up and use them for something else!
Beautiful ! x
Thank you Corrie.
Awesome. Thanks👍
Glad you liked it!
what fabulous foundations for partially layering over! So many possibilities! What if you used plain low-tack tape? I feel certain you can find some that is a better price than washi tape ;-)
LOL! I am sure I could but hey, it was on my desk!
Where can i buy good stencils from please? UK only thanks. AND your tutorials are fantastic
Hiya Deb, Have you tried That's Crafty? They have a nice range of stencils. Also you can sometimes pick them up from Amazon, like the one I have used in this video, the link for it is in the video description. But you need to make sure you aren't paying too much for them on Amazon so keep an eye on the recommended retail price for stencils to decide if it is worth it for you. I hope that helps and I am glad you are enjoying the tutorials.
Thanks.....Beautiful!!
Thank you!
Beautiful!
Thank you 💜
