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.

What a neat look you created with the gelli plate…so creative and unique.
Such a amazing technique. I love the way you layered colours and was really surprised they held their own, especially on those areas that were already nearly solid.

I really enjoyed watching this gelli stamping technique on video. Your card is just beautiful.
Very nice crafty card I like all the elements added and well blended. I want to make one.
I’ve seen Gelli plates before but not like this! These card size ones that you can mount to a block are phenomenal! Being able to place things exactly where you want and see what you’re doing at the same time just multiplies the creativity factor. Thanks so much for sharing this video!
