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. 💖🇨🇦
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 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!
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! 😁😁😁
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
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!
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!😊
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! ❤️😃❤️
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
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!
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!
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.
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!
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 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.
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!
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!
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 ♥️
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!😀😀😀
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. 💖🇨🇦
Thank you so much ❤️
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 ❤️❤️❤️
Oh I would use the entire page. Love the blue.
Thanks
I dont do that type of heavily decorated card, I love it lol xx
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!

It's easy to make too many prints! 😁😁😁
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!❤️❤️❤️
Beautiful prints. Thank you Christine🤗
Glad you like them!❤️
You are so adorable! Love and giggled at some of your descriptions, such as wibbly wobbly.
😃😀😀 thank you ❤️
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 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!
That’s so kind thank you ❤️
These are so pretty. This looks like a fun technique because you get such varied results. Thanks!
You are so welcome!
Geli Plates are made of Gelatin. Easy to make your own in different sizes. Fun Video thanks for sharing your creation!!! Beautiful!!!

Thanks so much ❤️
Lovely 🎉
Thanks 🤗
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
You're certainly getting through my videos Mags, is seems like you're really enjoying them too! ♥️♥️♥️
I've got Gelli plates...just need to do this!!! Great tutorial as usual...
Thanks so much💚💜🧡
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! 💙💚❤️🧡

There's no problem I'll do a video to show the assembly process!
Really love this technique. I am uble to make this very useful. I enjoy all your videos. You are amazing.
That's so kind!😊😊😊
Love this! Can’t wait to try it. Again, thank you for a wonderful video.
Thank you ♥️
Love all your ideas
Many thanks ❤️
Love the Gelli plate thank you for inspiring me to get mine out and start making backgrounds :)
They are such fun aren’t they! ❤️
I love this look! How fun, and it reminds me of batik fabric which I love! Thank you!
It's a really fun technique, I never know how things are going to turn out! ♥️
Love your casual easy going approach. Lovely results. Will give it a try.
Have lots of fun… it’s always a surprise! 😃
I love gelli print and need to get mine out and play with it. Love the colors you used.
Thank you 💚💙🧡
Love the results you get with your gelli plate~
Many thanks ❤️
Loved this! You got some really interesting results! Thank you so much for sharing. xo
Thank you 🧡💙💚
Awesome! Definitely going to try this!🥰👍
Have fun!
Some of the nicest gelli plate prints I have seen, and so well demonstrated - thank you
Thanks so much 💙💚❤️🧡
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

Have fun! ♥️
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! ❤️😃❤️
Brilliant! I can’t wait to have a go.
Have lots of fun!
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♥️
This looks like so much fun...ill give it a go....thank you Christine.
It really is! Enjoy! ♥️
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!
I think I will have to get a gel plate. Love this.
Thank you ❤️
Thank you for sharing your talent and skills with others ! I so enjoy your teaching.
That's really kind 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 videos. I learn a lot and you come up with so many excellent ideas. Thank you very much.
That’s really kind thank you ❤️

You are so right, thank you
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! 😃😃😃
Another fabulous technique to try Thankyou
Thanks ... Have fun!
Just discovered your channel and really enjoying your videos.
That’s great news thank you! ❤️
So beautiful!
Thank you! 😊
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! 😊
Thank you! Interesting results. Really neat tool. 😊
Thank you 🧡💙♥️
More good thinking..thanks..never used a gelliplate…have lots of paint..looks like fun
Go for it!
Loved this video, thank you
Thanks♥️♥️♥️

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!
Sehr interessant! 👍👌😃
Thank you ♥️
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.
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.
I watch u-tube. Yes
Pinest!.
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!
Fabulous lesson…I need to order materials to do this❤️
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❤️
what fun!
It really is! 🧡💚💙

Did you find me on Instagram?

Why keep saying you use too much paint and then do again next time?
🤣
