Lovely cards. Great inspiration.

[@LouiseSimsPapercrafter]

Glad you like them and thank you for popping over today x

[@LouiseSimsPapercrafter]

Hi everyone. Thank you for watching. For this video, I haven't added music to the sped up portions. Do you prefer music added or no music? I welcome your comments for future videos. Many thanks, Lou x

[@teresaseabright510]

Thank you Lou. These gel prints are very pretty. Lovely soft colours. I have been trying out versafine clair ink pads and metallic pints.

[@LouiseSimsPapercrafter]

Metallic paints make wonderful prints or use to lift your final print. Makes a fabulous alternative to white paint. Stamping on your gel plate is another fab way to add layers and looks so cool when you pull the print too x

[@meloneylewis1782]

Loved watching your process Lou, the cards are beautiful with there soft colour palette x

[@LouiseSimsPapercrafter]

Thanks so much and always love how using oxides on a gel plate, really softens their colour x

[@grandmabonnie3]

thank you, Louise, for sharing these gel print techniques.. you've inspired me for my next project!

[@LouiseSimsPapercrafter]

You are so welcome and can't wait to see what you create x

[@JuliaMcNeillCrafts]

Just beautiful love the soft colours, love watching you build your cards .. these are just gorgeous x

[@LouiseSimsPapercrafter]

Thank you so much. I had fun creating the backgrounds and actually using them rather than storing them (lol) x

[@paperie1]

Gorgeous cards Lou, love your style

[@LouiseSimsPapercrafter]

Thank you ever so much. I'm trying to make it a mission to use up my prints and not just "store" them x

[@sharonling-LetsArtToday]

Beautiful cards ❤❤❤

[@LouiseSimsPapercrafter]

Thanks so much 😊

[@CraftyDuckDesigns]

Love the colours and the layered look of your cards and how you built them all 3 at once.

[@LouiseSimsPapercrafter]

Thanks so much and I often work that way as can then have the same but different - if that makes sense?

[@ShinySilvertreasures]

Your cards are beautiful. I love the soft colours and the gelli plate backgrounds ❤❤❤

[@LouiseSimsPapercrafter]

Thank you so much. It was fun to get my gel plates out and create with then - it's been too long! x

[@GemmaLovesCakes]

Very clever techniques

[@LouiseSimsPapercrafter]

Thank you! Gel printing with oxides is really quick and creates great results. Hope you give it a try x

[@sandrasimpey1712]

Lovely x

[@LouiseSimsPapercrafter]

Thank you so much x

[@GoCreateCraft]

Love the cards and your beautiful palette xx

[@LouiseSimsPapercrafter]

Thank you so much. Printing with the gel plate really softens the oxide colours.

[@janbuckley1]

Wow Lou I just love these cards, the backgrounds using the gelli plate are beautiful, I really must get to grips with mine. I’m loving this hop 😊. Your colours re I d me if the little chewy sweets, Fruit Salads ☺️💕

[@LouiseSimsPapercrafter]

Thanks so much and know what you mean about the colour being like those sweets too x

[@pcbcarole]

Fab cards. Really need to start learning how to use my geli plate - would make some fab papers for collages. Cx

[@LouiseSimsPapercrafter]

The gel plate is very easy to use and no print is ever wrong. Gel prints do indeed make fabulous collage papers.

[@lindacoote8710]

I have ordered 3 Gelli roll plates Lou from your tv show I like the subtle look.I hope I will use them Love ❤️ tips above Love Linxx

[@LouiseSimsPapercrafter]

Lin, gel prints are very easy to use as no print is ever wrong. If not happy, print or stamp over it and it changes the way it looks xxx

[@handmadeinwindsorlab]

Lovely soft colours from the Gelli plate - I've used mine with acrylic paint doing prints from my daughter's A Level art, but not tried with inks yet! Will have to have a play with oxides!

[@LouiseSimsPapercrafter]

Love how the oxide colours take on a different colour tone when using with the gel plate. Thank you for popping over today x

[@rosyposy6164]

I love what you do Lou and you inspire me to give different techniques a go. I don't really mind whether there is background music or not in the sped up sections (sorry, not really helpful to you!). These Hops are great as I have discovered loads of new creators to watch - now I've just got to find the time to watch them all!

[@LouiseSimsPapercrafter]

I'm with you about joining in with hops. It's amazing how many new ideas and people you discover x

[@BarbaraWild-cb5ws]

Happy without music

[@LouiseSimsPapercrafter]

Thank you for your reply about the music. I never know if I should add or don't add 🤷‍♀️ I personally always mute the music but know others don't!
