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!

These look like they could get me in trouble, and by that I mean fun trouble in not being able to stop and printing on everything everywhere. but I completely love that the sizes are smaller especially since I do not have a lot of room in my makeshift dining/craftroom. Winning these would be a treat of a lifetime.
