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:

I hope I didn't use up all my good luck when I won that stupid giant polar bear from drink Cok e campaign run by the cafeteria at work a few years ago.

  20. This is so awesome. So perfect for the crafting/designing I do. Would definitely make some things so much easier. Love these!!!
