Thanks Barbara...I do that too.....a diffferent times I take in more /different information. I released a new video this morning..but experienced technical difficulties...and have to re edit and reupload.....hoping to get it up again soon. Karen
I am definitely going to try it. I shared this video with my bff who I bought a gelliplate for for Christmas. We are in for some fun. Thanks so much for sharing.
I just discovered if watching on laptop or desktop, there is a little gear under the video . You can change the speed if you want. Lol usually I speed other videos up. K
This is just an awesome video . I am soooo EXCITED to make texture plates. I am making them as soon as I'm done making this comment. Thank you again for all of this awesome inspiration.
I just started printing on a homemade gelli plate. I also am trying to use up my old Delta paints. I have been using dry wall mud in my art journal. I have had no problems and it is way, way, way cheaper than texture paste. I will be doing this next. Thank you Karen!
+Tammy Teague The texture plates work exceptionally well even after many many uses. I love that they are the size of the gelli plate. Remember you can print onto magazine pages, old phone book pages and well pretty much everything. Have fun. Karen
Thank you. These texture plates have stood up over time. I use the collage papers in many of my videos. Have fun checking them out. Thanks for watching . Karen
+Karen Burchill (Creative Kady) Not only the technique... I think your comments and instructions are wonderful! I get so tired of videos that are basically infomercials for various companies and their products. Yours are about crafting/art and being an individual. I appreciate that a lot.
These have stood up over time. I worried that they may get brittle and deteriorate but they havent......I really need to drag them out and use them again. Karen
If you heat up your texture medium while it's still wet it "blooms" sort of puffs up and will dry hard. That way you get even more defined texture. I think it looks so cool when I do that. Just love the look of making your own texture plates. Too darn cool. When I first discovered doing the gelli printing I didn't have a lot of stencils but I knew really it was all about textures also. So I go to my local Dollar Tree and look the store over for texture items. I got some of the coolest things. Awesome prints with a couple different place mats, a flat square holed dish drainer, glass platters wtih cool starburst buttons and one of my very favorite things is the rubber non stick mats that you put under carpets. They have those little holes in it. Same as those small grippers for opening jars. Different size holes on those and that is awesome. ONe of my absolute favorite print items,, got my grandsons good size big wheeled trucks and those wheels were really neat. I just have ended up with two huge totes full of all of my texture "items" that when I'm ready to do a print session I pull up my totes and have a hey day. I can't wait to do this and make my own like you just did. :like you I have a bunch of the 6x6 stencils and I made my own plate so it's 9x13 so I would have to put down like 4 different ones of those stencils but they didn't fit good but this will be great to make a whole page out of some of my favorite stencils. Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time and sharing this idea with us. I was thinking the same thing on the bubble wrap print, that it looks like roses. When I was looking at the sped up video, I was thinking, "hummmm...I don't remember her using a roses stencil" and then you mentioned how it looked like roses and I was like AHA! that's what those roses are! lol
These texture plates are one of the best things I've done for gelli printing. I want to make more where I make my own design so the gelli print is more origninal. Karen
great video Karen. I keep thinking I want some texture plates. now I just need to get to the hardware and get some wall compound. thanks for sharing your work.
+mjkozak You will love the texture plates. Since I've made them my gelli prints have a greater depth. I just need to make more of them. LOL Thanks for watching. Karen
What a great idea. Since Week 3 of ICAD 2019 starts tomorrow and one of the themes is "mark-making," I think I will make a texture plate or two to use. I am so glad UA-cam switched automatically to this video.
This is one of my most watched videos....I love the texture plates and I still have them and love using them.... I did not seal mine and they have stood the test of time....Karen
What a great idea isnt it. I must give this a go as i do love a more original look. Your prints came out wonderfully and love your 'new' plates. Hugs Tibby xxx
You will not regret making your own texture plates....unless you want to make a whole bunch of them, which is what I have the urge to do. It does create unique patterns that no one will have and you then don't have to worry about copyright or angel policies of stencil or stamp makers . Karen
thank you so much! Learned a great deal and really appreciate you fast forwarding sometimes and speaking over that.. loved that you showed us your "finished" peices - so helpful.
Fabulous idea, Karen. Is there a special way to store the plates? The first prints you showed at the end looked like enlarged dendritic prints. With full-size plates, you can make your own designer scrapbook paper. Don't wait till you have another brilliant idea to make a video. We'd love to see what projects you are working on. Happy New Year.
Janet, thank you so very much. It's great to know people are enjoying and looking forward to my videos. I loved this idea and my head almost exploded with the ideas of how I can use this/ change it. I store them standing up in my Big Blue Box. If there is something you would like to see me do a video on, I'm always open to suggestions. Karen. .
+Brandy Bobo Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. Hope you make your own texture plates. I love love mine. they work so well. Karen
Karen (lovely hands you have by the way - lucky you!!). I thought I'd mention you considering adding say 40% Elmers glue (we call it PVA here in the UK) to the wall compound (we call it Polyfiller) over here.
Loving the bubble stencil. It really looks amazing with the depth from several layers. I will definitely be making one with some giant bubble wrap. I have been using it direct on my (home made) geliplate and it doesn't seem to maintain the pattern over time ... I guess the air is escaping or maybe paint build up ??? Maybe the layers of paint from printing will start sealing the plates as well, although I agree that sealing the base layer first will be best. TFS
I am thinking I need to make more of these texture plates...maybe an upcoming Build Your Stash video. They have kept shape with absolutely no deterioration over the 2 plus years. Karen
I absolutely love the texture plates.....they have kept really well with no chipping or flaking....going to be making more soon....and another video . Karen
+Charlotte phillips You will love them. Thanks for watching. I hope you found the playlist, use those gelli prints..There might be something in there you will like. Karen
Love love love your results!!! A couple of thoughts went through my head...I like to use what I have so thinking of my supplies, I have full 12X12" pieces of chip board and a 12 X14" Gelli Plate, plus a few others, but I love the big one and to seal the chip board I am going to use the Gelli Plate itself both before and after the compound paste or what ever else I need to use up first, I am really very surprised how well this did, I know getting them level sure does make a big difference as to how well they print, thanks so much love seeing new ideas!!! blessings.....
+Trena Patt Thank you so much. That was what I felt/thought when I saw the 3 year old video talking about it. Just a word of caution. My wall compound worked well, but my friends did not ( it chipped and flaked from minute one). Please , to avoid any problems, do one as a test before you commit a lot of time into it. I'd love to have a 12x14 gelli plate, but a girl can dream. Karen
+Karen Burchill (Creative Kady)OH yes, dreaming...keep dreaming it will be yours....have you followed Patti Tolley Parrish with her ideas....at first she used the big thick foam sheets and fun foam to make texture plate, I took what I had and used the chip board and even used my dies to cut self adhesive fun foam and ended up with some pretty cool plates, and am designing and cutting paper stencils and spray them with a mixture of water and Bastista's Collage Podge and they work great....so much fun! Thanks so much Karen, all good to know, there is a couple things I have learned from you but how about using something more like tile calking? It is a bit more flexible and moisture resistant....hum....got some might give that a try soon....blessings and thanks....T
+Trena Patt hmmm there are so many possibilities. I have watched Patti Tolley parish. I have some fun foam texture plates. I think I like theses better. Tile cauking would work to create your own, but I hate to think what it would do to stencils. If you give it a try let m know how it goes . Karen.
I have a big tub of gyprock joint compound doing nothing! I wonder if that woukd work as well. I originally bought it and made my own patina paste set with it. It turned out really good! I found the recipe on pinterest!
So glad you found it...you can get the boys to create their own texture plates....you put a layer on and they can stamp lego, drive trucks, stamp blocks etc into it....to make interesting shapes....voila designer texture plates . Karen
Thanks Karen for showing this, it took me 3 days of gathering the boards, borrowing some drywall compound, collecting the stencils to use, actually making them and then sanding and adding another coat of Modpodge, whew! now have a bunch of beautiful useful texture plates. I was wondering how you clean them or even if one needs to clean the paint off of them? Some of mine turned out rather thin so eventually the lines will disappear when the paint builds up.. But scared to put them in water, or even wipe them.....how do you handle this? Again, thanks so very much and Merry Christmas!
I havent washed mine at all.....if they fill up I figure I can always redo them.....so far it hasnt been a problem.....If you are really concerned just wipe with baby wipe...or if there is a coat of acrylic on their....spray with Murphy oil soap mixture and wipe with baby wipe. Hope that helps. Karen
Thanks Karen, that was good to know so that's what i'll do and like you say easy enough to redo. I was remembering my plastic texture plates from eons ago which were thick with paint. I soaked them in soapy water for a few hours and when I picked them up out of the water it was like they had grown a thick fur. It was so gross and it didn't come off easily. But after a lot of scrubbing I cleaned them up but y'know they had never lost their ability to make the impressions so it was wasted time and effort. So i'll just leave my new ones alone too. Thanks again!
Thank you for sharing this fun idea. I think everyone likes to save money when they can. ( I really liked the brown gelli print...it looks like tree bark.) :)
Awesome results. forgive me if I repeat myself from a previous comment. the learning curve is escalating, and new terms and tools are more easily understood and appreciated with repeated viewings. Do you have a how-to for the texture rollers? Thanks.
Thanks Judith.i remember feeling just that way watching videos" so many terms so confusing. I did have a video but I think it's gone. Maybe time to do again. Thanks for watching. Karen
I love this idea. LOVE gel plate printing. I work on fabric (mostly). Have you tried sanding the dry compound to make sure it's really smooth? It's been a couple of years now, since you published this video - how are your plates holding up? I too have made some homemade plates. They seem pretty durable. On my second go-round, I added more gelatin (about 25% more) than the recipe from the Frugal Crafter (Lindsey) - and it feels more like the manufactured plates. My first ones are pretty soft and I had one tear on the first day I used it.
The texture plates have stood up remarkably...no chipping or drying/crumbling. I attempted to make one but in the end bought gelli arts ones...... I think I need to make some more texture plates as I really do love using them. Karen
Hi Karen...I just got my first Gelli Plate! I'm so excited! I was wondering if you made your textured roller? It looked like it could've been a lint roller?? Do you have a video on how to make one if you made yours? Sooo cool!!!
Yes it's a lint roller. It was one of the first videos I was part of . I did it with my friend Yvonne. Here's the link ua-cam.com/video/ocJAydMLTlw/v-deo.html
Whatever happened to your day texture plates? Did they damage your plate or did you just go back to stencils? Love all your vids, going back to your older ones since I can't craft right now after surgery.
Great question. I use them to collage with ( either backgrounds or focal images) . I cut things out of them with my Silhouette, I cover books, I use them as is for a background....I have a playlist of videos where you can see me using them. Karen
Thanks Cheryl. I will keep that in mind with future videos..did you know you can slow down the video . There is a gear and you can either speed up or slow down the video. Thanks for watching. Karen
Unfortunately, slowing down a video that has been uploaded at such a high rate of speed does't do anything to improve viewability. That feature works only for videos that have been uploaded at normal (or near normal speed) to begin with. Here's why: When the original video is uploaded at breakneck speed, frames are omitted. Using the little gear to slow it down can not replace the missing frames. The result is a jerky, blurred, video that makes it impossible to see the order in which the process is done, and the final product of that pull. I so wish that talented and creative artists (like you) would stop uploading their videos at high speeds. It serves absolutely no purpose, and it is impossible for the viewer to "fix". If the length of the finished video is an issue, why not just break it into parts? Anyway, thank you for considering.
+Erinne Kennedy-Dock yes you totally could do that. Likewise you can add to low spots. I love these texture plates. Hope you give them a try Erinne. Karen
+Karen well I havent got the the mony this month toget spackling though I might go on an exursion to look around lowes! Kids wouldlove an outing gives me more time to collect the cute house a\pinat chips
I'm watching this again. The first time I watched, I don't think I fully appreciated it. However, I certainly do appreciate it now.
Thanks Barbara...I do that too.....a diffferent times I take in more /different information. I released a new video this morning..but experienced technical difficulties...and have to re edit and reupload.....hoping to get it up again soon. Karen
I am definitely going to try it. I shared this video with my bff who I bought a gelliplate for for Christmas. We are in for some fun. Thanks so much for sharing.
The way I show in this video works...but since then I discovered another way.. Here is the link. ua-cam.com/video/N5nEtVh7Lro/v-deo.html
Really enjoyed the video...liked the high velocity during printing, liked the talk at the end. Thx for sharing.
I just discovered if watching on laptop or desktop, there is a little gear under the video . You can change the speed if you want. Lol usually I speed other videos up. K
Love your videos.. I learned so much. You are a wonderful teacher. Thanks
+Ellen Birnbaum Thank you so much. If there's anything you would like to see in video, let me know. Karen
This is just an awesome video . I am soooo EXCITED to make texture plates. I am making them as soon as I'm done making this comment. Thank you again for all of this awesome inspiration.
You are very welcome myfairytreasure. They are wonderful to work with and I plan on making more of my own so I have truly unique art
Very cool! I’m anxious to try this. I don’t know how I missed this one. ❤️❤️❤️
These texture plates still work years later. Must use them soon
I just started printing on a homemade gelli plate. I also am trying to use up my old Delta paints. I have been using dry wall mud in my art journal. I have had no problems and it is way, way, way cheaper than texture paste. I will be doing this next. Thank you Karen!

Thank you. These texture plates have stood up over time. I use the collage papers in many of my videos. Have fun checking them out. Thanks for watching . Karen
Thank you soooo much, I am about to go in my studio and make Gelli plates ! Yahoo!
I hope you had fun. K
OMG had no idea this could be done...what a terrific idea. I have a tub of pollyfilla that's so gonna get used tomorrow
I still have these....K
This is fantastic on so many levels! Thank you.
That's just what I thought when I saw it. Have fun. Karen
+Karen Burchill (Creative Kady) Not only the technique... I think your comments and instructions are wonderful! I get so tired of videos that are basically infomercials for various companies and their products. Yours are about crafting/art and being an individual. I appreciate that a lot.
+Amy Samin Amy, your words mean so much to me. I try to put out there what I would like to see. Karen
What a great idea! You can use them also as an embossingplate..... I’m gonna try it! Love from Holland!
These have stood up over time. I worried that they may get brittle and deteriorate but they havent......I really need to drag them out and use them again. Karen

Yes it is about the texture. I want to make some more texture plates using my own "found " textures. thanks for sharing your experiences. Karen

I still have and use these texture plates...I love the ones I created from scratch the best. Karen

This is an EXCELLENT idea! Wow, now I've got to go get some. Thank you for posting this.
They work so incredibly well, especially stencils where you really want the second pull. This gives you that. Enjoy.. Karen

They all look very good too me, the one you least like I ended up liking most though...lol Great job Great share. Thank You.
+Brandy Bobo Thank you so much for watching and taking the time to comment. Hope you make your own texture plates. I love love mine. they work so well. Karen
Karen (lovely hands you have by the way - lucky you!!). I thought I'd mention you considering adding say 40% Elmers glue (we call it PVA here in the UK) to the wall compound (we call it Polyfiller) over here.
Thank you for the tip. Karen
Cool plates and prints. I've much a bunch and they're just fun to use. Happy New Year!
Thank you all.
great job !!!Nice explorations!
Thank you. Happy creating. Karen
Loving the bubble stencil. It really looks amazing with the depth from several layers.
I will definitely be making one with some giant bubble wrap. I have been using it direct on my (home made) geliplate and it doesn't seem to maintain the pattern over time ... I guess the air is escaping or maybe paint build up ???

I still have them...they have stayed in tact...never damaged my gel plate.....Happy watching . Karen
Karen, how do you spell FABULOUS. This is a great video, so informative. As always. And already a Jan. 1 video! You're on it. Thank you so much.
Thanks Barbara. I spent a good chunk of yesterday making more texture plates. Maybe a part 2 coming. Karen
excellent idea! Thanks so much.

This is something I'm going to try.
I plan to make some more in upcoming video....as well as use those I have made...they are so wonderful. Karen
excellent

Lovely! Thank you.
Thank you Pat. Karen
Very cool
+Rebecca Bullock Thanks for watching . Take time to check out the playlists. Lots to see. Kady
Fun. Tfs
Thanks for watching. Karen
~Hello from the future~! (2021) Do you use these still and have they held up?
Yes I still use them and yes they held up. No deterioration at all. K
great idea, thx for sharing, I really want to try this too ! :-)
I hope you do. I am totally doing more. Karen
How do you use the completed prints?
Great question. I use them to collage with ( either backgrounds or focal images) . I cut things out of them with my Silhouette, I cover books, I use them as is for a background....I have a playlist of videos where you can see me using them. Karen
wonder if you use fine sand paper to even the surface
Absolutely and it will be time well spent to ensure you get better prints. Hope you give these texture plates a try. Karen
maybe it's an idea to sand it to get it more even?
I ended up doing nothing...and love using the plates....but options are always good. Karen

So glad you enjoyed it...I love my texture plates......best thing ever. I hope you give it a try. Karen
It would be helpful if you would pause when you show the finished print in front of the camera. The video is set was too fast.
Thanks Cheryl. I will keep that in mind with future videos..did you know you can slow down the video . There is a gear and you can either speed up or slow down the video. Thanks for watching. Karen
Unfortunately, slowing down a video that has been uploaded at such a high rate of speed does't do anything to improve viewability. That feature works only for videos that have been uploaded at normal (or near normal speed) to begin with.
Here's why: When the original video is uploaded at breakneck speed, frames are omitted. Using the little gear to slow it down can not replace the missing frames. The result is a jerky, blurred, video that makes it impossible to see the order in which the process is done, and the final product of that pull.
I so wish that talented and creative artists (like you) would stop uploading their videos at high speeds. It serves absolutely no purpose, and it is impossible for the viewer to "fix". If the length of the finished video is an issue, why not just break it into parts?
Anyway, thank you for considering.
Seal with primer!
You could definitely...but these have stayed in perfect usuable condition through the years. K

could you not go back and lightly sand the texture plate that had unwanted marks?
+Erinne Kennedy-Dock yes you totally could do that. Likewise you can add to low spots. I love these texture plates. Hope you give them a try Erinne. Karen
