A little fun with the Gelli Plate

A couple weeks ago Ellie and I got out the Gelli Plate and made a couple dozen prints.  For anyone who wants to do some crafting with kids I highly recommend the Gelli Plate, it's so fun and easy, you really can't make mistakes, and it's totally addictive.

Anyway, I had a little time over the weekend and thought I would put those prints to good use.



The print on this first card features the Positive Sign stencil as well as the Headphone Dienamics and one of the Keep On Rockin' sentiments.



For the second card I pulled out the newest Blueprints dies and Totally Happy sentiment set.  The balloons were both shaded with some tone on tone inking, although it's hard to see it on the blue balloon.  The print features the Fishnet stencil.

Short and sweet for today.  Hope your week is off to a great start!

For You

Sharing another gelli plate card today.

It is just so much fun!

For this one I created the gelli plate background using The Crafter's Workshop ___ 6x6 stencil.

I then added some stamped circles to the pattern using Ellen Hutson's Bokeh Dots stamps set.  I used both black and gold Delicata ink and stamped both circle outlines as well as some solid circle images.

The sentiment was created using Little B's Block Out Line Art and Lawn Fawn's Louie's ABCs dies.  I added some vellum beneath the negative cut of the 'for' as well as some gold foil cardstock at the bottom of the black sentiment strip.



That's all for today.  For all those stateside, have a safe and tasty Thanksgiving!!!

Do You Gelli?

I have been dreaming of owning a Gelli plate for many many moons.  I got the sweetest package from my GI12 buddy Cheiron

a couple weeks ago, and inside, my very own Gelli plate!

I broke it out pretty quickly for a test drive, making a bunch of prints.  This one uses The Crafter's Workshop Web Doily stencil.  Once I had created my print I trimmed it down to create the center panel which is floated above a black mat adhered directly to the card base.

The print kind of reminded me of an explosion, and I thought this Mama Elephant sentiment paired really nicely with it.

I had a great time creating with the Gelli plate.  In fact, it was so much fun that I 'had' to run out and get some more paint colors.  You will definitely be seeing many more Gelli projects.  It's very kid friendly too!  Both girls have tried it out and been asking me when we can do the 'rolling thing' again.
