Spotlight: Stamping with Gelli Plate
Hi everyone, it’s Shari here with a spotlight on stamping with the GelliArts printing plates.
There a couple great sized printing plates perfect for stamping with. The 5″x7″plate fits an entire card front and is also perfect for creating backgrounds in your art journals. I’ll be using the 3″x5″ plate for my cards where I’ve overlap colors on the paper. These smaller size plates fit inside most stencils for complete coverage and are easy to put onto a block to use with paints and stamp onto card stock.
I’ve tried several types of paints with the plates and have found that the Dina Wakeley line are creamy, well blended, easy to spread and vibrant! My favorite! I’ve kept my colors in groups and overlapped those which match best.
To finish the card up, I’ve sewn around the edges of the vellum, it’s been humid here in the midwest and sewing helped keep the vellum flat and in place. I’ve shot a video of my GelliArts printing plate adventures and card construction. You can view it below or on our YouTube Channel.

wow i love the look of this thanks
Great card and technique! ;-)
Beautiful colors!
I bought a gelli plate and used it once. Will have to get it out and play some more. Great card, Shari!
Awesome!! Love how it turned out!!
Especially like the stamping on the vellum & the stitching. Here in Central TX we had 90+ temps yesterday and it is only going to get hotter. Luckily we replcaed our ac/heat units of 13 yrs with new this past Sat. Noticed the difference in coolness immediately.

WOW! I really love the colors of this card. Amazing! xo
This card is fabulous and so joyful! I LOVE IT! I love the way Shari used the Gelli plate, the backgound turned out so beautiful! Also the embellishment and the use of velum for the sentiment are perfect for this card! This card is sooo inspiring, thank you for sharing!
Wow! I’m really inspired and learned a lot with your video!
I’m SO HAPPY to see this post, I’ve had a Gelli plate sitting on my shelf for 2 years now, unused, and this is just the motivation I needed to actually USE it! Beautiful card, wonderful video!!!
Beautiful card!
That beautiful! I’ve seen those Gelli Plates, but haven’t tried them yet. I love the colors you chose, too.
I liked that you used the small plate. Sometimes when I use the big one, the colors seem to muddle. Great background.
LOOOOOOVE this effect! So gorgeous!
Wow! I love, love, love this card. I have a few gelli plates and love them. It is so great to see them used with the Dina Wakely paints and how effective they may be in making really artsy cards. Love the cards and love you, Shari, and all the creative ideas you share on this website.
beautiful card!! One of these days I will have to give this a try!!
Really pretty card! Have yet to try gelli printing on cards. The colors look great!
Gorgeous colors! GREAT vid!!! Thank you for this ♥
Besides the beautiful background that you created, I’m actually also very impressed with your white ebossed sentiment. Love this project!

Love the bright colours and the vellum; the effect is cheerfull but not “in to your face” and that is a great effect!

Shari is so talented and I love this card and the video showing how it all came together.
I really LOVE this! I bought a big Gelli plate and I used it one time! I like how you used the small one, it looks easier to use and I like how you were able to use it almost like a stamp! Hmm maybe I will get mine out this weekend and play :) Thank you for the inspiration!
So lovely and cheerful!
