Gel Plate Projects

It’s so easy to get carried away pulling prints, but if you don’t art journal or collage, what can you do with them??  Here are some of my Gelli print projects.

For most of them clicking the image will take you to the post and much more detail/more photos.

A little Gelli-printed Art Journal from a file folder – you can see a page here and here:

I made this shelf card (instructions and Template  in the link) from Gelli prints, and sent it off to the USA to an inspiring blogger.

Did you know that the surface of self-adhesive wallpaper borders is a perfect surface for Gelli printing?  Just a quick coat of paint or gesso and you are away…

A fold-note from a Gelli print – instructions in the post:

This Top Hat project uses a Gelli print pulled on a paper towel.

This is a CD calendar made using masking and printable calendar sheets:

A little stand that can act as a display for ATCs. But it’s so much more…

You will see in that post that you can easily cover it with Gelli prints pulled on the sticky side of contact paper, then use them to decorate:

This is a bank – like the next one, but simpler.

It can also become a bank – this in not decorated with Gelli prints, but it could be!

ATCs

This ATC also shows printing and embossing on Washi tape!

I printed right on a (painted white first) Tando chipboard clock)

I improved the visibility of the hands here.

I made a paper bag book, covering the bags with 6×6 Gelli prints – click the image to see much more in the post!

And this post has the construction of the book.

I made a little foam-core frame and covered it with used and colourful paper tools!

One of my favourites – my GelliBird!

Another book – coptic bound, round pages.

A card

A coffee filter book, with the prints pulled right on the filters.
