Do YOU ever use things found around the house for texture or tools in YOUR work? I'd love to know. Share in the comments!! Thanks for popping by to watch today! We worked so hard to bring you this fun collaboration. Hope you enjoyed it! Be sure to check out Keren's and Tiffany's video. They are cool! 😃😀🎨
Oh my gosh I love this video! Thank you for posting. I have a pile of these exact items. I just used the onion bag a few days ago and loved how it turned out. I have at least 4 different bubble wrap textures. One has large square bubbles, another are tiny little bubbles. I have separated corrugated cardboard to get the ridges and bits of paper exposed. I am so looking forward to your video on creating coasters. Thanks again.
Yes I do. Its enjoyable and very creative . It's amazing the beauty that comes out of the things that so many people look at it as garbage . Be happy and creative .
OMG, I had to stop this after the pulls - THESE ARE GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!!!! Ingrid, you may have your mojo back, thank you for your inspiration, creativity, and generousity of spirit. Now back to the video...
LOL, you are too funny Deborah! Thank you for that. I filmed this back in November. There is SUCH a back story to this video, I'll have to share it some day. And a project that got left on the cutting room floor, but is going to be a video on its own. Something to definitely look forward to. Hope you enjoyed the other two videos as well - they really did some fun stuff... Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Means a lot. 😘😃🎨
Awesome. I enjoyed all of the videos. Thank you so much. I just bought a gel plate, and im apprehensive about using it. Your prints are perfect and beautiful. Very creative.
Those leaves are heaven. I bring them back from my childhood home. From a big old tree that’s older than me , and I’m 66 . 😂 I still have memories of meeting this tree when I moved to the property at the age of around 5.its a camphor laurel and the leaves smell divine even when they turn brown. TFS , this video is amazing .
very beautiful. very creative. I work a lot with fabric. I am going to try and use prints like yours on the fabric instead of paper. thank you for sharing your amazing ideas.
I’ve used leaves in my artwork before but not on gel press. I’ve even dipped fresh leaves in ultra thick embossing powder to make beautiful jewelry. I collect all sorts of lids, boxes of bubble wrap (because who knows when they’ll quit making/using it!), cardboard textures, all sizes of bottle caps - basically anything that will create texture or make a mark!
I bet those look AHMAZING!!! Bite your tongue on them stopping making bubble wrap....now I need to hoard more...OH BOY...lol. Michael is going to just bust...lol. I agree - anything and everything that makes a mark. Get creative with it. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!! 😃😃🎨
I haven't played with my Gelli plate in some time but HOLY COW!! This video makes me want to pull it out and get busy! These particular prints are just fabulous! I LOVE the blue/orange one but the softer green one is stunning as well! I have a bin filled with random "junk" for my prints and can't wait to play with it all soon, thanks to you! :D
SO excited you love this. Can't wait to hear about you playing with these. You'll have to pop back by this weekend, I'm turning so many of these into a cool giftable! 😍
The thing I love about you three collaborators is that it's ALL about the ART; not about glossy fingernails, or about what supplies you have, or how vast your studio is, that stuff bores me. When I go to an art channel I want to see and hear about the art. I want to see the creations from beginning to end; some art channels spend the whole video on talking about what they've got in the way of accessories, whilst making sure their fingernails get constant exposure throughout the video, ad infinitum. It's a breath of fresh air to have found your channels (I stumbled upon the incredibly easy to learn from, Keren first, which led me to Tiffany, and then to you), and to actually learn from you three. Thank you for sharing this lovely video. :)
SO glad you enjoyed it Lauren. Thank you for that. Ya, no manicure here, my manicure is usually paint...LOL. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment! 😀😍🎨
Wow. This is my first visit to your channel. I wish I could visit with you in your studio and learn all you have to teach me! Which of your videos do you recommend to a beginner? This looks like something I could immerse myself in! Thank you for sharing your art with the world! Michelle

Kerry/Inkhill Revival linked you. Printmaking was my major in art at college (many moons ago). You would love collagraphy. You build a collage with texture, image, and composition in mind, ink it up and run through the press. You get serendipitous marks as well as planned and the textures and objects are impressed into the paper leaving the print embossed.
Ingrid, beautiful prints and I love how you used the leaves etc. to make them! Can you direct me to the coasters and cards video that you made after this? I'm having trouble finding it and would enjoy watching the process. Thank you so much and thank you for sharing your artistic talent with us!
Thrilled you enjoyed that Christina! I was so surprised it looked like a coffee bean. TOTALLY amazing surprise! Have fun playing yourself. Thanks for stopping by to watch and taking the time to comment! Enjoy the other two videos... 😍😘🎨
😘😘😘 Happy New Year chickie!!! I hope you've been well. Thanks for popping by to always watch Michelle. I appreciste you taking time to comment. It means a lot to me. 😘🎨
I love it Ingrid, it is so organic. I guess I will start my mini scavenger hunt outside for nature's beauty. Thank you for sharing your talent with us. I appreciate you and your love of art.
Happy Collecting. Pick it all up, you never know what will create that magic in your art. Just have fun - but leave the bugs outside...lol. Thanks for watching Stella! 😘😃🎨
I'm so glad you enjoyed this! Thank you Tania - that's a BIG compliment! Do you ever use things that are throw aways? Just curious... Thanks so much for watching and taking the time to comment. 😀😃🎨
@@IngridBlackburn yes l certainly do. I have 3 kids and now they are grown “the doing box” which lived under the kitchen table has just moved to my craft room. Having a daughter with sensory issues, cutting and sticking has always just been something we’ve done. My daughter still loves to craft and now we spend many home visits,she lives in supported living now, crafting and creating things that spark the senses x
Hey Ingrid, I'm a fan of Keren's and I LOVE art, nature, recycling and your three-way collab!!! Your voice, and technique are so relaxing and elegant. Is it possible to do this gel plate technique on fabrics and wax? Because my crafting superpowers are pillows, quilts and candles. It would be awesome if I could press the fabric squares and roll the candle sides on the gel plate. Your color choices were exquisite and I fell head over heels for the botanical supplies and results. I have similar botanicals available. Subscribed, liked and clicked notifications. I look forward to binge watching your archives and waiting for the next posts. Happy holidays and lotsa love from Louisiana!
Using found items instead of going out and buying something, ignites your creativity in a way that store bought supplies can never do. Thanks for this!
I SO agree! I love my store bought stuff, but this was on a whole different level in the loving my art! So glad you enjoyed it. What kinds of things have you used? Thanks for watching and taking the time to leaving a comment! 😃😃🎨
@@IngridBlackburn Like you, I've also used leaves, but some other things I've used are the end of a toilet paper roll, some jewelry chain, the plastic liner from a box of chocolates, the bristles of a well-used, worn out stencil brush, some scrunched up tin foil...anything with an interesting texture, or capable of impressing an interesting design, like some kitchen tools. I'm really trying to make an effort to loosen up with my work, and stop trying to be so perfect and precise. I think true art happens when you get out of the way, instead of trying to force it. The artists I admire are very intuitive, and show an amazing ability to go with the flow. I want to move in that direction. One artist who blows me away, I found here on TH-cam, Millie Gift Smith. You couldn't get much looser than Millie, she turns her canvas sideways, upside down and her results always amaze me. Some of us get more careful as we get older...not Millie! Her art is fearless. If you'd like to check her out. th-cam.com/video/0RGYI2_13sw/w-d-xo.html
@@jas8815 Thanks for that, I had never seen that channel before. I'm with you - anything that can help me to create depth and texture, I'm in. Liner from Chocolates...interesting. I wholeheartedly agree on staying loose, and getting out of your own way. Mixed media has helped me to let go of the control, accept that it's a journey and sometimes bumps and unexpected things are magical and take you into a fun, exciting direction. At its core, it's a lesson - an opportunity to learn more. Thanks for sharing all that! 😘😃🎨
Gelli printing is one of my favourite things to do. I’ve made prints using leaves and organic material in the past and love the effect. I’ve also raided my hubby’s tool box and used some interesting tools, including a golf spike repairer and golf ball once lol. Love your prints and coasters. TFS. Happy day
Oh me TOO Shirley! Blue and Orange are such great compliments together. I'm thrilled you enjoyed this. Thanks for stopping by to watch and taking the time to comment! Enjoy the other two videos... 😍😘🎨
Both of those prints are so pretty, but I especially love the blue one! Really love all the coasters and things that you did with them. I I have always loved finding things around the house or things in nature to incorporate in my crafts. And tell your hubby to keep his paws off your bubble wrap! LOL
I added a gel press to my craft room but have yet to touch it. Now I am inspired. This video is amazing. And I didn't quite get what paints you are using if you could share that please. Thank you for taking the time to share this technique.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it Lindsay!! They aren't quite that gorgeous foliage you get, I miss that from the northeast, but love any leaves just the same. 😁 Thanks so much for talking the time to pop by a second time to watch and comment!! 😍😁🎨
I absolutely love this. These projects and collaborations are a great way to start 2021. I think we all get caught up sometimes in the new thing and are blindly buying. I really appreciate the step back. And as someone who loves cardmaking as well as mixed media projects, this is amazingly refreshing. Good on 'ya!
I'm so glad Susie!! We have been so ready to put this up, I'm so happy it's my first video of 2021. I'm looking forward to another year of focusing on what we have. I don't mind getting new, but need to use what I have. I have WAY too much....lol. I'm so glad you are a mixed media and cardmaker. Do you mix the two a lot? Thanks so much for popping by to watch and comment! 😃😀🎨
@@IngridBlackburn Yes, I do mix them quite a bit. I used to keep the card making and mixed media firmly in their own lanes, saving my mixed media for ATCs (which I still love) and the occasional journal page. Now they cross the boundaries both ways - I always try to include a little stamping on my ATCs and in many of my journal pages. I started out as a stamper, and still love it. I too have so many things, and too many that I don't use at all. Other than replenishing basic supplies that I use, I am dedicated to using what I already have this year. I am so happy that some of my favorite youtubers are doing the same, it's inspiring. I am so excieted to be journeying along with you all.
I just found you and love your soft, calming voice (I need some calming in these dark times), your gorgeous nature-inspired art and your beautiful color combinations. I also love gelli-printing and you inspired me to get back into it. Thank you ❤️
Welcome Edith! Nice to meet you. I'm glad you enjoyed this. Gel printing is the best. Most versatile tool in my studio. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!! 😃😃🎨
WOW!! This is my favorite kind of art! Using natural objects like leaves (and I love using dried flowers from my garden). I have not had much luck using my gel plate and would die to get backgrounds like the ones you showed here!! Guess I will keep trying because it’s worth it! TYFS! ❤️🦋💜
Definitely keep at it Cindy. If you're having any issues, just pop a question in here. I'm sure we can work the problem together. It's totally worth it. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Means a lot. 😘😃🎨
Thank you so much Teri! I'm so glad you enjoyed that. I used the tops of the acorns on another print too. Loved playing with Nature's supplies, you know?!! It was a great exercise in sourcing your own stuff. Do you print much? Thanks for taking the time to watch and leave a comment! 😘😀🎨
Awe, thank you chickie! THIS was SO MUCH FUN! I loved collaborating with you both so much. Your video is just incredible Keren, and that project at the end - WOW. Thanks for always supporting me so much. Your friendship means a lot to me! 😍😘🎨
Thank you for this, Ingrid! Been hesitating about buying a gelplate over the homemade gelatin one...I'm sold!!! Yes, I always look for ways to recycle stuff..... have even run leaves through my spell binder with leaf dies....😂amazing and the smell of those eucalyptus leaves......mmmmmm
I wonder if Michael would say that 😂😆 You most definitely can get a box of fall from me - I PROMISE...I'll go collect NOW if you want?!! I still have LOADS out there.... LOVED LOVED LOVED your video Tiffany. I would NEVER have added that from the kitchen chickie - you're brilliant! Can't wait for the next one. This was so much fun. 😘😘🎨
You made my day!! So excited that it sparked something for you. Thanks for stopping by to watch and taking the time to comment! Enjoy the other two videos... 😍😘🎨
Thanks chickie!!! I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Now if you did this with inkpads?...hmmmm.....GO try it! You've got a plate...😉😆 THanks for popping by Ardyth! 😍😘🎨
love this! Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video. I've really been loving playing with a gelli plate and like learning more ways to use it.
I totally get that Jill! Always feels weird to me to add it. But those two together just POP. I love that combo. GREAT for masculine cards too. Thanks for always stopping by to watch and taking the time to comment! Enjoy the other two videos... 😍😘🎨
Ingrid this is amazing! I really do need to get out my gel press and play! I about freaked out when you covered everything with white at the end and then WHOA!!! that reveal was totally awesome! Thank you for sharing all these gems!!! I thought I was the only one who saved things because of their texture and my hubby was the only one trying to get rid of it....LOLOLOL Thanks again :)
Ya, I'm thinking of making a bunch of those for next years Christmas cards. With some red instead of orange. Keren pointed out to me that they would be lovely Christmas cards - my mind didn't even go there...lol. OR, just great any day projects... Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Means a lot. 😘😃🎨
As long as it isn't sharp, you should be good Jesse. When I used the acorn, I just didn't use the point. Hope that helps. Play with it! Thanks for watching chickie. 😘😃🎨
YOU made my day! I don't think anyone understands HOW HARD it is to do that....lol. I've spent countless hours honing that skill. And still have SO MUCH to learn. It's become an art project in itself. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! 😘😃🎨
I'm SO thrilled you loved it Cordelia!!! Thank you for always supporting my work and channel. It means the world to me that you always pop by, watch and leave me a comment. I hope you had a great New Year! 😃😘🎨
Love the leaf prints, Ingrid. Very cool!! What did you use for the paper on top of the white paint? What weight? Was it a lightweight cardstock or just a copy paper or something in-between? Happy New Year, BTW!
Do YOU ever use things found around the house for texture or tools in YOUR work? I'd love to know. Share in the comments!! Thanks for popping by to watch today!

Those turned out so pretty. Thanks you for playing and letting us watch. That was fun. It makes me want to play with my geliplate again.
You know how some people watch Bob Ross to relax? Wait til they find Ingrid and her gel presses. ❤
Awesome. I enjoyed all of the videos. Thank you so much. I just bought a gel plate, and im apprehensive about using it. Your prints are perfect and beautiful. Very creative.
Hey Ingrid, great to see you getting your hands dirty. You make the best gel prints. So cool!

Thank you for this, Ingrid! Been hesitating about buying a gelplate over the homemade gelatin one...I'm sold!!! Yes, I always look for ways to recycle stuff..... have even run leaves through my spell binder with leaf dies....😂amazing and the smell of those eucalyptus leaves......mmmmmm
The gel plate reveal blew my mind! Beautiful and love the organic flow of your video ❤️

I wonder if Michael would say that 😂😆 You most definitely can get a box of fall from me - I PROMISE...I'll go collect NOW if you want?!! I still have LOADS out there....

love this! Thanks so much for taking the time to make this video. I've really been loving playing with a gelli plate and like learning more ways to use it.
These are just gorgeous! I wasn't sure when you put that orange in. It looked so bright. But when you pulled it, it looked amazing!
I totally get that Jill! Always feels weird to me to add it. But those two together just POP. I love that combo. GREAT for masculine cards too. Thanks for always stopping by to watch and taking the time to comment! Enjoy the other two videos... 😍😘🎨

Beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!!
That turned out so awesome and was so mesmerizing to watch!
Grazie per le belle idee
Whaaaat? Awesome!
Ingrid this is amazing! I really do need to get out my gel press and play! I about freaked out when you covered everything with white at the end and then WHOA!!! that reveal was totally awesome! Thank you for sharing all these gems!!! I thought I was the only one who saved things because of their texture and my hubby was the only one trying to get rid of it....LOLOLOL Thanks again :)
😂 nope, you're not alone....lol. Thanks for watching chickie!!! 😘😁🎨
The green one is my favourite.
Ya, I'm thinking of making a bunch of those for next years Christmas cards. With some red instead of orange. Keren pointed out to me that they would be lovely Christmas cards - my mind didn't even go there...lol. OR, just great any day projects... Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. Means a lot. 😘😃🎨
Wow! Very cool!
Love love 💕
love this...absolutely beautiful...thanks so much!
I love your work!! 💗
So cool
I was afraid of using plant matter on my plate because I feared it cutting into it.
Your work is GORGEOUS!
As long as it isn't sharp, you should be good Jesse. When I used the acorn, I just didn't use the point. Hope that helps. Play with it! Thanks for watching chickie. 😘😃🎨
@@IngridBlackburn thank you!
Just love watching and listening to you, so relaxing. Can I ask you what papers you use for final prints? Thankyou
great video Ingrid, those textures are amazing and the end result, LOVE💖😍
SO GLAD you loved it Gerry! Thanks for watching chickie. 😘😃🎨
Did you post the video about how you made your coasters? I love this idea so I can share my art as gifts.
I love how this turned out. I've not seen a gel plate this big where can I get these? Thanks for sharing.
Hi Bridget! I have links under Supplies for everything used in this video. Hope that helps! Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment! 😀

Love the prints. Very creative.
Great editing job too!
YOU made my day! I don't think anyone understands HOW HARD it is to do that....lol. I've spent countless hours honing that skill. And still have SO MUCH to learn. It's become an art project in itself. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment! 😘😃🎨
Wonderful, and so refreshing ❤️
Those gel prints are SO beautiful.
I'm SO thrilled you loved it Cordelia!!! Thank you for always supporting my work and channel. It means the world to me that you always pop by, watch and leave me a comment. I hope you had a great New Year! 😃😘🎨
Amazing! Love it, love it, love it.
Beautiful, my friend! I could watch you do gel prints all day!
Happy New Year chickie! Here's to a creative one filled with joy of crafting for us both, right?!! 😘😘😘
Love the leaf prints, Ingrid. Very cool!! What did you use for the paper on top of the white paint? What weight? Was it a lightweight cardstock or just a copy paper or something in-between? Happy New Year, BTW!
Hi Cindy! Happy New year!! I have it linked in the description. I use Neenah Exact - a lightweight cardstock and deli paper. Thanks for watching. 😀😀🎨
