Printing with Small Gelli® Plates!

Love creating tags, cards and ATC’s? Now there are two smaller Gelli® plate sizes — perfect for these small print formats – and great for so many other projects and artwork. Watch this video and see how much FUN these new sizes are to print with! 

The NEW Gelli® plate sizes are 3″x5″ and 5″x7″ … just right for creating tags, cards, ATC’s, postcards, small fine art prints or adding monoprinted images directly to larger work. The possibilities are endless!

It’s so much fun creating small printed images. Printing on tags is so fast and addicting! It takes no time at all to create interesting layers. Use your favorite texture tools, stencils, and masks — and the acrylic paint of your choice.

The hard part is stopping!

FYI — the following materials were used to make the prints shown in the video:

  1. Oh my gosh, I love these! I'm going to have to get the 3 x 5 for sure, and probably the 5 x 7, too. But first that little one, because I'm just dying to try this out on some ATCs!

  3. This is so great – now I don't have to buy a big plate and cut it up!! I love using my Gelli plate for card-making in particular so these are perfect. Thanks!

  4. I'm addicted to making ATC's. . . these new sizes would be awesome!! Just right for those fun, smaller projects. I may even try making tags with the smaller Gelli Plates. Thanks for such an awesome giveaway and fun tutorial.

  5. Oh wow, this would be an awesome win! I don't own a gelli plate yet, so for me this size would be fun to do all those yummy tags! Thanks for the opportunity!

  6. I just saw the video with these on YouTube today. I think a lot of people who are on the fence about getting a Gelli plate will go for these just because of the size.
