#1 Cards!
Let’s begin with an interactive card perfect for upcoming Valentine’s Day:
In this process reel, Giovanna uses the Gelli Arts ‘Script’ stencil to embellish the print.
TIP: when using different prints such as in a collage, the use of stencils give a consistent look to your artwork.

Gift it or store your cards!
#3: Journal Page
In this reel, Giovanna use the exclusive 4″ x 6″ Gelli Arts® Printing Plate from the Perfect Border Kit that includes also a Mini Placement Tool with a 0.5″ border for perfect alignment every time!
TIP: mounting the smaller gel plate on a piece of clear plastic or acrylic block allow to use the plate as a stamp and have full control where you are printing
#4: Pin Cushions
A set of soft and colourful pin cushions that can also be filled with dried lavender flowers or to make unique key rings!
TIP: You can use acrylic paint on fabric with your gel printing plate and they hold a gentle wash. Otherwise you can use fabric paint or add a fabric medium while printing.
#5: Altered Art
Last but not least…
Using both gel printed fabric and paper, you can revamp any kind of object such as tin can and make a set of pen holder out of them!
Stay tuned for even more inspiring ideas!
