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!

  4. These would be perfect for my art classroom! A colleague if mine just ordered a classroom set and I am sooooo jealous! I would love to start a collection of Gelli plates for my art students!!

  5. Would love to have a go with these small plates! I'm an art journaller and I've used my big plate directly in my journal but it is a bit big and unwieldy for that purpose. Smaller ones would be AWESOME!

  7. I love the small plates. My daughter is coming for an art visit is sept, I think gelli printing will be on the menu. I only have one plate, hope to get another.

    Oh what fun these new small Gelli plates will be…..How did you get the white border around the greeting cards? That's what I'd like to try. I love all things Gelli Plates!!

    So true that is hard to stop, using a gelli plate of any size is totally addiciting!

  11. The kids and I are going to start making Christmas and Birthday tags to give with gifts. Thanks for all the wonderful ideas!!!! Happy Crafting…

  13. Oh I would love to win these new plates especially for cards. I would then play with them with my little Granddaughter. We would have a blast.

  14. I've been using the 6 X 6 plate to do small cards. These two new sizes are going to be so much easier for compositions on smaller cards and tags. It's like you read my mind!

  15. Question to all: I would love to buy a gelli plate. I'm primarily a card maker but do dabble in mixed media. What size plate would you recommend ? Thanks, MA in CT

    With so many comments, my chances of winning are slim. I already ordered these plates, but IF I should win, I can invite someone over to play with me. Thanks for coming up with such great ideas for printing!

  17. Exactly the sizes I have been looking for……… I was thinking of cutting my large Gelli plate into smaller pieces this morning……… THEN I SAW THIS!!! Thank you.

    your product is one of the funnest things ever… and one could easily "collect" all of the sizes, if for nothing more than a fettish of frenzied printing!!

  19. OMG! I didn't think I would want these, but after seeing the video I now know that I NEED these. So cool. How fun it would be to make a bunch of tags. I especially liked the ones with the iridescent sheen. So pretty.

  20. Oh my goodness…..I love working on small pieces…thanks for a chance to win these little plates!

  21. This whole Gelli thing is SO addictive. I could watch the video demos forever…well almost….at least until I'm compelled to rush to the studio and begin playing.

  22. Ooooo love the video! I have never used a Gelli plate before but have been dyeing to try one! The small ones would great for me!
