My Favorite Art Supplies: Gelli Arts Printing

Today I kick off a series of My Favorite Art Supplies with Gelli Arts. They are offering free shipping for the holidays. Lou Ann and Joan are the best. I love their products and they've introduce monoprinting to so many of us.  

I had a student (Tony, you know who you are) and we were trouble-shooting ways to lengthen the open time of the paints. That led me to GelliArts website (coupon code "DianaT"/10% off). 

The Cardmaking Kit is perfect. This kit comes boxed in a permanent storage container with a 5" square Gelli Plate, 6 folded cards (5.25" sq when folded), several sheets of tissue type paper (deli wrap). a brayer, 3 GelliArts paints (red, yellow, blue), sequin waste, a fluff of fiber and bubble wrap. Perfect for experimenting.

I made several papers using items from the kit (I added  black paint). The video is below and there's a bunch of info in there for trouble shooting possible problems with printing.

After allowing the prints to dry, and they did take a little bit of time (yeah!), I pulled out a couple of die cuts and had some fun creating a mixed media holiday card. 

Such fun to play. Check out the video below or here on YouTube. I have loads of links if you watch it on YouTube.

This is a great video with wonderful ideas. I have several Gelli Art plates and am going to make up my own kit. Oh boy let the fun begin,

Thanks Glenda :) I keep my Gelli Plates in one of those 12x12” scrapbook boxes.
Happy Thanksgiving

Great video, Diana. I haven't pulled out my plates for a long time.....hope I get to feeling better so I can get into some play. Hope you had a blessed Thanksgiving and that all is well with you.
