Elevate Your 3-D Embossed Prints with Your Gelli Plate

This technique was a spin off of a technique used by other crafters. I’m not sure who started this trend, but here are some videos of other crafters that have used this technique or a variation of it.
My variations include using the Gelli plate for my ombré colors, for adding acrylic black paint and for building layers.

Thank,you for including everything, even when it wouldn’t come out like you wanted. That’s how we learn. Don’t worry, we’ll come up with our own mistakes, lol.

[@Thereses-Crafty-Cabana]

Thanks for saying so. 💗 I hope you try it and see what new things you come up with!!! 😁

[@Honeybee1975..]

They’re beautiful! Will have to rewatch again so I can remember the steps to how you made them. Actually I’ll probably have to watch it several times!😂😂😅👍💕

[@Thereses-Crafty-Cabana]

Aww, thanks for watching even once, Debra! The metallic ones with the perfect pearls look so much better in real life!!! 💗

I saw someone use Embossed cardstock as a texture plate. And I thought about how I could paint raised area on gel plate. Ideas are flying!!! TFS! Austin TX USA

[@Thereses-Crafty-Cabana]

Hi Barbara! 👋 Yes, there are so many cool options you can use embossed texture for on the Gelli plate! Have fun experimenting!!! 👩‍🔬

The first person I saw doing this was Jennifer McGuire, a prolific card maker, about two years ago. I remember Jennifer getting great results stamping the ink pads in a haphazard overlapping fashion.

[@Thereses-Crafty-Cabana]

I’m a big fan of Jennifer McGuire! I will have to look for that video! Thanks for letting me know and thanks for stopping by my channel! 🤗💕
