I have never had good luck making gelli plate prints and now I see why. You've given me so many useful tips and ideas! For one thing I didn't do multiple layers using different color combinations (dark first and lighter on top). I also just used objects and stencils to create patterns, and your use of rubber stamps opened up so many other opportunities to add interest. I love it when you give me new insights and uses for materials I already own so thanks once again!
It’s such fun and you can do so many different techniques, I’m sure you’ll soon be hooked and wonder what you are going to do with all the backgrounds you have created! ❤️😃❤️
Fabulous tutorial with the gelli plate Christine. You have such a soft voice. I love watching and listening to you!! Your cards are all beautiful and you’re such an inspiration!! TFS Much love, Ann ❤️xx
This is my first time seeing gel plate and acrylic paint. I have dozens and never thought to use them this way. Thank you, Christine for sharing. The more options we have, the more we can make interesting and unique cards. 💖🇨🇦
I especially love that last background. All of these would make great foliage die cuts. I need to break out my gell plate and play around. I do enjoy watching you create!
Thank you so much Christine, I really really enjoyed watching you creating those Gelli plate prints. They’re really really stunning and adorable too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Lovely as always. You can remove some of the excess paint by rolling your brayer off on a dry piece of paper, then rolling over the paint again & doing that a few times until you get to the right amount of paint. It works best if you aim for a fairly transparent layer of paint so you can see the patterns more easily. Love your colours though. Gelli printing is so addictive! And so easy to make tons of prints
I ended up buying a second Gelli plate to put all that extra paint on. Worked great and I didn't waste as much paint. Also works well when you want the paint to dry on one of the plates. You have another one to play with instead of just sitting there watching paint dry! I used cardstock also for most of my prints. No creases that way. Thanks for sharing! :)
I have another round plate that I can use, if I hadn't been doing the video I would have waited for the paint to dry before trying a second layer, the finished effect on the copy paper is great ... And a lot cheaper than card!😊
Really artistic backgrounds, and love that you don't have to clean it off every subsequent print. It would be nice to see some of the cards you made, and how you worked with the "bleed through" on the inside of the card. I just love ❤️ your ideas!
@@Chrissieannie I will check Instagram. What I mean by bleed through: a portion of the jelly print is mounted as background behind a window cut into the cardstock. It is pasted to the back of the cardstock front panel. It appeared the image is slightly visible on the back of the print , even when you used the good paper. Just wondering how to finish the inside panel. Thanks so much!
Gelli prints are so much fun as you never know what you are going to end up with. After the first print I like to spray water very finely on the Gelli plate and use a second clean paper to draw what it known as a ghost print. Like you said there are many more ways to use this tool - and get surprises!
Interestingly my Gelli plate says on the accompanying information sheet that it is made from "a unique plastic that contains mineral oil" which is probably why I may have described it as such. Maybe different brands are made from different materials.
@Christine Stokes That is very interesting. I will have to research more! I used a recipe I found online and made them out of Knox Gelatin...Will have to look at my commercial one to see what it says. Thank you!!!
Thanks for coming back to me Cindy, I don't know much about them, but looked at the accompanying sheet before I made my video, so like a parrot I just repeated what I had read! 😁😁😁
By taking the stencil off, it removes the top layer of paint so the the layer underneath is exposed for printing. If you leave it on none of that layer is exposed. The effect is still ok though!
Thank you so much for this video Chris I've been thinking of getting one and now I'd really love one.the idea of making my own backgrounds is exciting x
Hi. I have got a small round gel plate and I'm going to try it with some of my iridescent acrylic paints instead of just my water reactive inks. I'm sure it'll be interesting and fun. Thanks for sharing your work. These are excellent results you have here.
Really pretty results ☺ I was always told not to put the plate on paper though as the mineral oil will leach. I use an uncut/unmarked big shot plate as a mount.
I now put the plate on my glass mat and hold down the sheet of paper I'm printing onto, with a piece of sticky tape (used like a hinge) so that the paper can be lifted and then placed back in the same spot.🙂
@@Chrissieannie that's a good idea - I never get it lined up properly. I just need something to keep marauding wild cats (Dennis the Menace in Fur here, avatar) out of things now and I'm good - she's had a blue painted leg before now 🤣
Great prints, Christine. I usually use cardstock when I pull my prints as I feel paper is just too flimsy and I generally use cardstock on all my projects whether for backgrounds or die cutting. I did originally clean my brayer between pulls on "copy" paper but found that I like those results too much to waste them so I've switched to cardstock there, too. I was intimated by the gelli plate when I first got it but once I tried it, I loved it and had to stop myself from making way too many prints for me to use. 😊
Thanks for this, I think there's is a place for different papers and card etc... depending on what you want to do with the prints! The copy paper has dried to a lovely finish, although I hadn't used it previously. If left to dry between layers there wouldn't have been any wrinkling!
Welcome. I make my videos in real time so what you see is how I do it. I don't think I dry any prints before taking another. I've just got a new gel plate so I may do some more printing soon!
great video, it figures I gave an 8.5x 11.5 gelli plate away because i felt it was too big . I like the size you are using. Made me laugh if Mom could see it. She said I insisted grass would be purple in my pictures my teacher told her to leave me alone and let me do my thing.
Absolutely.. you can clean the plates with baby wipes which is usually a little easier, but the stamps etc … warm water and maybe a little soap if necessary!
Hi Christine...this is LOVELY! Are you on Instagram? I can't find you... Oh - also, gel plates are (at least traditionally) made of gelatin mixed with other things. The Gelli brand is made of non-toxic synthetic gelatin and is vegan-friendly.
That’s good to know about the constitution of the plates! Thank you. On my Gelli packaging it said it’s made of a unique plastic!!! My Instagram name is chrissyjob!
Awesome! Definitely going to try this!🥰👍
Have fun!
Thank you for this Christine I have not seen this done before.
It’s great fun, I hope you have fun if you get a Gelli plate!

I'm so glad! That's wonderful, have lots of fun experimenting!❤️❤️❤️
Love the results you get with your gelli plate~
Many thanks ❤️
I think I will have to get a gel plate. Love this.
Thank you ❤️
I've got Gelli plates...just need to do this!!! Great tutorial as usual...
Thanks so much💚💜🧡
Beautiful prints. Thank you Christine🤗
Glad you like them!❤️
Love this. I bought one recently but haven't been brave enough to try it. I will now
It’s such fun and you can do so many different techniques, I’m sure you’ll soon be hooked and wonder what you are going to do with all the backgrounds you have created! ❤️😃❤️
I think some gellie artists use deli paper and rice paper. They are both thin, but strong.
I’m no expert and so just use what I have! 😊
Fabulous tutorial with the gelli plate Christine. You have such a soft voice. I love watching and listening to you!!
Your cards are all beautiful and you’re such an inspiration!! TFS
Much love, Ann ❤️xx
Thanks so very much ♥️
Oh I would use the entire page. Love the blue.
Thanks
Luscious green shades, Chris... So beautiful. Thanks for modeling the plate-making process. Seems like great fun! From Cheryl in AZ
As ever Cheryl, it's my pleasure!❤️❤️❤️
These are so pretty. This looks like a fun technique because you get such varied results. Thanks!
You are so welcome!
Fab prints. Once I start using my gelli plate I get sucked into that world for hours! ha ha It's hard to stop. TFS
I can relate to that, then there's the quandary of what to so with all the prints!
Brilliant Chris…I’ve not used my square Gelli plate for a long while. You’re such an inspiration to us crafters . So thankyou x💕
That’s so kind thank you ❤️❤️❤️
You are so adorable! Love and giggled at some of your descriptions, such as wibbly wobbly.
😃😀😀 thank you ❤️
I have a Gelli plate and really didn't understand what to do with it. You have opened my eyes. Can't wait to give it a try.
Have fun😊😊😊

You're certainly getting through my videos Mags, is seems like you're really enjoying them too! ♥️♥️♥️
I dont do that type of heavily decorated card, I love it lol xx
I have all the elements to do this but was not sure where to start until today! Thank you for you wonderful and complete instructions!
Have fun… it really is fun!😀😀😀

It's easy to make too many prints! 😁😁😁
I've seen Gelli plat printing but I love your method and colors and the final look. You are amazing! And inspiring!
That’s really kind, thank you! 💙💚❤️🧡
This looks like so much fun...ill give it a go....thank you Christine.

Some of the nicest gelli plate prints I have seen, and so well demonstrated - thank you
Thanks so much 💙💚❤️🧡
only used ink and brushos will try acrylic now great prints thank you
Thanks, Brushos are great fun too, some lovely effects when mica is added! 😃😃😃
Beautiful, but try loading your Breyer off the plate, if you struggle with putting too much paint on then this should help.
I don’t quite understand how this would work with mixing colours, but I’m always happy to hear suggestions. Thank you
Another fabulous technique to try Thankyou
Thanks ... Have fun!
Geli Plates are made of Gelatin. Easy to make your own in different sizes. Fun Video thanks for sharing your creation!!! Beautiful!!!

Thank you for the inspiration, must get some acrylic paint
♥️♥️♥️
It just amazes me to see the magic that is revealed when you pull up the paper! Beautiful designs.
It's a surprise every time and the colours seem to improve once they've dried! Thank you♥️
Wonder what effect it would give to have left your leaf stencil on the plate before printing? Great and easy back ground...
By taking the stencil off, it removes the top layer of paint so the the layer underneath is exposed for printing. If you leave it on none of that layer is exposed. The effect is still ok though!
Love your casual easy going approach. Lovely results. Will give it a try.
Have lots of fun… it’s always a surprise! 😃
Thank you so much for this video Chris I've been thinking of getting one and now I'd really love one.the idea of making my own backgrounds is exciting x
It's a lot of fun, you never know just how it will turn out! 😊
Hope you did buy one. Gelli printing is so much fun!
Loved this! You got some really interesting results! Thank you so much for sharing. xo
Thank you 🧡💙💚
Really love this technique. I am uble to make this very useful. I enjoy all your videos. You are amazing.

Thank you 🤎💙🤍
I just found your channel and I LOVE your cards! What do you use to clean the acrylic paints off your rubber stamps?
Thanks, I just used warm water and I little soap!
@@Chrissieannie thanks for your quick response!
Do the following layers moisten the layers left behind and make them so that they will pick up?
They seem to
What a beautiful background. I love the color combo. Can you just print them on a card stock, instead of copy paper?
Absolutely, I did one of the prints in the video on cardstock.
@@Chrissieannie ...great thanks.
Brilliant!
💙💙💙
New to your channel and I love your cards . I’m also fairly new to cardmaking and have never used the gelli plate. Do you dry paint between layers?
Welcome. I make my videos in real time so what you see is how I do it. I don't think I dry any prints before taking another. I've just got a new gel plate so I may do some more printing soon!
Thanh you.

Please don't blame me!!!! 😃 thanks so much!
Please don't blame me!!!! 😃 thanks so much!
@@Chrissieannie I would never blame you! 😉 You totally inspire me❤️❤️
I'm that case have loads of fun with your new supplies when you get them! 😊😊😊
@@Chrissieannie I definitely will!!! Have a great rest of your day❤️
Just soap and water clean up? Thanks, going to try tonight.
Absolutely.. you can clean the plates with baby wipes which is usually a little easier, but the stamps etc … warm water and maybe a little soap if necessary!
Sehr interessant! 👍👌😃
Thank you ♥️
It's made of gelatin. ❤
Mine says on the packet that is a form of plastic!🤣
I watch u-tube. Yes
Pinest!.
