- I've wanted to try my hand at one pull gel printing for a while and eventually was brave enough to give it a try, its a different way of thinking for me but I was very happy with the result.
Please be aware I've heavily edited this video to get it close to one hour in length, I've just taken out the boring bits and hopefully left everything you'll want to watch
Have fun guys, I did.
Happy Crafting

Ceri, I was holding my breath as you made those pulls. The second pull, absolutely made me gasp. I just loved it. And then, it was as if you held back the best one and you pulled that 12x12. Truly beautiful and so rich. Many times I found myself saying "no...don't do that" and then when you showed the pulls all those little details just joined up and sang together. Great job! And you are now stepping into the Gelli guru category!
Thank you Katheryn, I think I’ve a long way to go yet to reach those heights but I’m enjoying the journey.
Fabulous love the colors 💜💜💜 and butterfly 🦋
Thank you Kim.
Oh! How totally amazing!
Thank you
You made me laugh out loud when you were talking about the pink neon paint. So flipp'n neon! Very funny indeed. Well done on your one-pull gel prints.
Thank you Karen
💜💜💜
Thank you
Absolutely wonderful, Ceri! Your prints turned out just fabulous! Those last two…oh my! I would call your experiment a roaring success! ❤️
Thank you Gayle. ❤️
What a fantastic print. Your voice is perfect for You Tube. Very soothing and calming. Thank you.
You’re welcome
I agree. A pleasure to watch.
💙💚🖤 Ceri, it turned out stunning! I wouldn't be able to wait overnight either!
I’m not sure I would have got it off the plate if I’d have waited overnight.
I love that you gave yourself permission to scrap an idea and start over, and I actually really love the way that one turned out. All were stunning!
Thank you Trish.
I love your excitement on the 12x12. You did great! Love them all, but the 12x12 is superb!
Love&hugs to you & Biscuit
Thank you Darcy
Great video! Mind blown about the stencil storage ❤❤❤
OMG this was absolutely amazing Ceri. Loved, loved, loved every minute of this video. Thank you.
You’re welcome
Stunning absolutely stunning Sir, I love the Autumn one especially. Thank you for your time and teaching 😊
Each one is uniquely beautiful!! My favorite is the 12 × 12...it screams Fall which is my favorite season!! 🍁🧡😊❤🍂
Thank you and yes it screamed fall to me also.
All 3 are beautiful, even the one you are not wild about. So, I've been to papercrafting shows where the demonstrator does not wait for the "pull" coat of paint to dry. That last coat is wet, so that all the coats under it pull off and the paper pulls off easily from the gel plate. Maybe you can give that a try some time when you're just playing and experimenting.
I normally don’t wait I pull almost immediately but because of all the layers I thought it best to wait a while.
I would definitely call all 3 a success! Very enjoyable video.
Thank you
I think you're brave😊
Beautiful one pull print !! You're so brave !! Thank you Ceri, I know this was alot of work. 💖
But it was fun also.
Goodness - this is beautiful!
The plate that you wiped off, I wonder if you didn’t like it because you had the dark blue squares which were quite large for the size of plate and then you had circles the same size in an equally dark colour. The shapes were contrasted but the colour/size were the same and both were solid. The red grid was also the same size but because it had more blank space in the pattern it worked better. You couldn’t rebalance it because there wasn’t enough room left on the plate to break up the clusters you had created. If the plate had been larger your bold decision to wipe off the middle would have given you the space you needed to soften them. I’m kind of curious as to if a dark background colour would have faded the squares and circles into the last background layer and rebalanced it that way. I probably would have pulled it myself as they were so close in tone it could have been possible to hide. Just my thoughts to take or leave 😊
I wondered the same thing. Also, Ceri had in his mind, "Ocean" and the squares look like windows 🪟. I think that was messing with his mind. I too would've pulled it. Brave decision to wipe it clean and start over. I loved the replacement!
So happy he didn't wait overnight to pull those, think the paper would've ripped.
I agree, I think the balance was wrong and a dark pull would possibly have calmed it down but i had to make a decision or id have started procrastinating. Thank you
I agree I don’t think the paper would have come off the plate if I’d left it over night, you could also be right about the squares in an ocean pull……haven’t thought of that. Thank you
These are brilliant, now I want to get a gel plate!
I’m loving what’s going on. Especially the large square I’m mid video and enjoying every moment. Love how you store the stencils. This is great fun. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoy it!
I am so thrilled that those worked for you! You put so much thought and effort into what you wanted and how to do it. Like you I didn't care so much for the third one but the other two were gorgeous.
Thank you Connie
That middle one is fabulous. Looks like a cottage & a country garden. Gosh, l love your work & thought process.
Thank you so much!
Those are so beautiful
Fabulous!!!!! I was so hoping your paper would not rip!!!!! Your prints are beautiful and I have to admit I, too, am partial to the "autumn" colored ones!!!!!! I like the numbers in the third print though!!!!!! Thank you for sharing this with us!!!!!!
Thank you Betty.
Oh wow they came out so beautiful Ceri! That with orange hues mmm 🧡🧡🧡
Thank you so much 🤗
Great experiment Ceri. The pulls turned out wonderfully. TFS Hope you have a great day. 🌞
Thank you Donna, you too.
I learned so much from this video and, wow, you created such beautiful, unique prints. Thank you
Thank you
Beautiful prints!
Well done on great videos you make and share with us.
I only recently discovered you and find your ideas inspiring.
Do you have a video on how you care for and mount your gel plates? Thank you 😊
Not yet.
Ceri, I haven’t done any gel printing at all. (yet) I so appreciate you talking out your thought process in your videos. I feel I am learning so much from the way you explain the what and why of each step. Your prints were just beautiful!
Thank you
Hi my name is Trish and I am a new subscriber to your channel. I am enjoying all of the videos I have watched so far and will be doing some experimenting myself. I do have a question, what weight of paper or card stock were you using in this video? Are there types of paper that this technique wouldn’t work?
Brian, this technique can be used on any weight of paper as long as it is strong enough to be pulled from the plate, I use gift tissue, water resistant tissue, copier paper, card, book pages, magazine pages, basically anything I can get my hands on but the card stock I was using in this video was 12”x12” 280 GSM white card stock.
The way I see it Ceri is I would much rather be along for the ride.... the option is taking the bus, right?!
Can I say Wow!!! These came out awesome. Even the last minute one looks similar to most of the scrapbook papers designed to look like gel prints. Not as wonderful as the other 2 but absolutely usable. I think it was thefrugalcrafter I watched a long time ago doing this method but it was long before I had a pad myself. Hers is actually home-made I believe.
I have been watching the reels from gelli arts and boy the ideas are just endless. But I'm stitching right now. I broke my knee cap and kind of hobbled on it for too long so waiting to see what we will do. But sitting at my desk is not as comfortable right now. So handstitching and crochet in short spurts keeps the hands and mind busy 🐝🦋
Oh Laura my heart goes out to you, I often have very painful knees from my days of dancing and all you want to do is find a comfortable position and not move, I normally just grab my book on those days.
I love these Ceri! Thanks for sharing! p.s. you may, or may not, remember me as Pat Walden. I changed the name of my account, but I'm still Pat!
Yup I know you Pat, nice to see ya.
Just love second and third designs. I think the whole experiment was a success and wish I could try that but I just can't do geli printing. Too old and don't have the tools. Thanks so much for including us in the journey!! Such fun.
Julie, I hope my videos continue to entertain and inspire you even though you’ll not be doing this particular art form, thank you for your support.
Loved this demo and love the results. I'm very literal and just cannot understand how dried paint sticks to the paper. I dont have a gelli plate. Would this method work on a cutting mat?
I’m not sure it would.
Ceri, Wonderful first time one pull prints! Your 2 favorite ones remind me of some of my favorite bedspreads I have seen here in the States. Many thanks for sharing your experience, and being brave enough to just start over. 🤗🤗
Thank you
Hi Ceri, I'm new to your channel and am loving all the inspiration you give me with your crafting. I'm about to purchase a gel plate and just wanted to ask the glass plates you use to put your geli plates on are they a necessity or just a preference? also what size gel plate would you say is a good all-rounder for a someone starting out on her geli plate journey?
Sandra I always recommend a 5x7 gel plate for a beginner because the size can yield results which are usable and as you’ll be experimenting in the beginning you won’t end up wasting large amounts of paints. You might find this video interesting and it will answer most of your questions. th-cam.com/video/rV9Pbkwo5pI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=6PgxRfnbIK-2sKbf
Ceri, this is a fascinating video start to finish! Absolutely love the results of all three, but yes, I do have my two out of three favourites! Many thanks once again!
Wonderful, thank you Nancy.
Do you think I could use chunky glitter . Do you think it could miss the plate up.Or any klnd of glitter.
I think if the glitter was in a clear gel medium it might work however large chunks of glitter could cut into your plate so be careful.
Stunning prints. I’m curious where did you get the clear see through boards the gel plate sticks on?
Pam, the plexiglass or acrylic plate beneath my gel plates is not essential; you can just place your plate on anything from a clean surface to maybe a glass chopping board. The plexiglass or acrylic plates are not manufactured for gel printing they are replacement window frames, plexiglass from old picture frames etc some hardware or building suppliers store will sell plexiglass or acrylic plates and even cut them to size, but make sure to take care as the edges can be sharp, I sand mine down a little with sandpaper or glass paper. Hope that helps.
Wonderful technique. How long did you leave the paper on before pulling?
About an hour.
hi Ceri, where do you get your acrylic plates from? I def need one lol
I just search eBay.
Beautiful
Those are beautiful pulls. One thing that I appreciate so much about this video is you weren’t in a rush, you were able to film it over a very long day or as in your original plan you were Going to include the pulls and we didn’t have to come back on another day to see them. I guess that’s the beauty of editing. In lives I think some thing might get lost now and then because there’s too much else going on that isn’t directly related to the technique or education. I hope this makes sense. As time has gone on I’ve seen your videos get better and better and I appreciate your time and energy ,thank you.
Thank you Colleen, I’m constantly learning and hopefully improving.
I love this kind of gelling printing the BEST ❣❣❣❣❣❣
Thank you Sharon.
beautiful, very beautiful, thank you very much
You’re welcome
Ceri, I’m sure you have answered this before so forgive me. How do you use those gel prints?
Funny you should ask Debbie as I launched this video on my top ten uses a few day ago. th-cam.com/video/f8Iv9dAbvKE/w-d-xo.html
Congratulations on three great pulls! Beautiful!!
Thank you!! 😁 Sandra
Very interesting and inspiring. These turned out fab. Wow
Thank you
I don't really understand gelli plates, but you are obviously a master!
Oh I wish but thank you.
Excellent! Enjoyed this very much!
You’re welcome
Absolutely absolutely absolutely beautiful ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you
Very beautiful!!! Good job. Off to try.❤️
Great news.
It's you painting your pallette to your liking. Thank you for sharing, Ceri. Tip: I tend to pull the plate off the paper rather than pull the paper off the plate of prints that have sat for a while. Less curl of paper that way I find.
Good to know thank you Violet.
Wow, what a process. I do love them all. That last one, holy Hannah, Wow!!!!
Thank you
Ceri amazing prints really really enjoyed!
Thank you
New subbie. Thank you. Such a joy to watch you create.
Thank you and welcome to my channel
Love the tag! Now I want to make these button clusters!❤
Go for it!
your prints are all amazing, but that large one is so gorgeous!!
Thank you
Great video- beautiful pulls💝
Thank you 😁
So inspired. Time to go to my shop and experiment.
Have fun
So fantastic. They are beautiful 😍
Thank you
What is that you have your plates on? Where can I buy them??
They’re acrylic plates, you can get them in hardware stores or window replacement suppliers were they’re likely to cut them to size for you. You can also buy them on line.
Congratulations. What a success.
Thank you
Ceri, I finally got brave and bought my brayers and my first Gelli plate. I got an 8X10 (I think). So I’m very new to this. Where did you get the Acrylic Plate your Gellis sit on? I’ve never seen them before. So I’m assuming they don’t come as a set. Just wondering where I can get one. This was so much fun. I have lots of Acrylic Paints. So I’m excited to try. Even if I mess up, I’ll have some interesting Collage Fodder. Lol

@@CeriGriffiths it does help. I looked on Amazon for an acrylic cutting board for the kitchen. Found one for about $10. Sold! I’ve been watching lots of videos from people I don’t even normally watch so I saw they just put it down on their desks. But after you picked up the glass and looked at your plate from the underside, I knew I wanted to be able to do that. Lol. I loved this one pull video. It was so exciting getting to watch the process. Thank you!
Thank you for this new to me technique of pulling a print. Your prints came out beautifully.
Thank you
I m going to have to try some gel printing tomorrow ❤
Have fun.
interesting and beautiful!! 😊
Thank you
Those came out so cool!! Great job!!
Thanks so much! 😊
I've always done multiple layers in one pull. That's just how I started... and probably not patient enough to do multiple pulls with the same sheet of paper. I'm thinking it must be very humid wherever you are because it just takes me a few minutes to do each one. Another difference is my pulls come off easily where yours took much effort. It's interesting how different people create. Thanks for sharing.
I normally do several pulls as you may have seen in my previous videos but this method was new to me and yes it did take some effort to pull it.
@@CeriGriffiths what matters is the end result. How we get there is just the fun. 👍❤️🙂
My favorite is the very last pull! Love it!! Thanks
My favourite too.
Hello Ceri, I love the technique you dit. I will give it a try fingers crossed.
I have a question, when you show your print they same to like very smooth at the thought/ at the service. My service feels a little rough. Do I use the wrong paper or paint or a your service also not smooth. Thank you for your video's
Simone, I think a lot depends on both, I get texture if my paint is thicker and if the paper is smooth you’re likely to get a smooth finish whereas if it was textured paper like watercolour paper then you will have some texture from that.
@@CeriGriffiths thank you I keep in mind
I love those two with the oranges and coppers 💕. Brilliant!! Thank you for all your hard work and thank you for sharing. 💕🥰💕
You’re welcome
They look fantastic thank you for sharing
You’re welcome
I love the one with numbers.
It’s growing on me.
I think you had 3 successes!
Thank you
You did it and it is beautiful!!!
Thank you
Wow, so beautiful!
Thank you
Beautiful! May I inquire as to how you condition your Geli plate?
I clean and wipe it with mineral oil, either baby oil or a mineral oil meant for wooden chopping boards. I rub it on with my hand then leave it for a few minutes then wipe it clean with kitchen towel/paper.
@@CeriGriffiths Thank you!!
Oh the suspense! Very fun…Ty.
You’re welcome
Hi Ceri, great job today, loved the prints!!

Thank you
I’d been scouring gel printing tutorials for exactly this! While there are rafts, I couldn’t find one that answered my questions. Until now. Plus the stencils especially the Murder of Crows. Paused and purchased immediately. Thank you 🖤
Great news and welcome to my channel.
