Gel Press How To - A Gel Press Print to Die For

You don’t usually find acrylic paint and cutting dies in the same art project, but here at Clarity we like to do things differently.
In this video, Barbara uses a Gel Press printing plate to build a 3-layer acrylic brick wall. She’ll show you how to create an opening perfectly sized to fit a beautiful Fresh Cut die.
At Claritystamp, we strive to inform and inspire crafters with tutorials, how-to videos, blogs and much more.

I love this project! My brain is clicking at a million miles an hour!!

[@wandaspencer9523]

This is so amazing... I have watched it before and I never get tired of seeing your videos. Thanks for sharing.💗

[@binkylucifer]

best Brit art demo ever!!

[@philmcavity4303]

And just like that, 30 minutes disappeared! You should have your own sitcom! :)

[@janetpay3753]

Learning every time i watch Barbara

[@susanhamilton8370]

Love your designs and the way you use the plate. I had an anxious moment when you taped the die onto the painted surface in case the paint peeled off after cutting .... what a miracle (you've done this before haven't you!) Honestly you're such an ingenious artist, thank you so much, also for the chuckles. Very engaging video as always :)

[@CraigsOverijse]

As always a joy to watch you Barbara you make it seem so alive and such fun In the natural way you present, in fact this is a repeat comment because I enjoyed it so much came back to remind myself

[@donnagreenmeyer8816]

I love all your gelli print videos

[@Teresa25056]

Barbara you’re an absolute tonic. I could follow you all day...probably get arrested! So funny and so natural. Now I have to remember what to do but need the gluey stuff!

[@jessicadoney1992]

Aloha, Barbara! I adore your videos. You make crafting look so fun & not so serious or stressful. Thanks for sharing all your knowledge. 🤙🏼

[@melusanerivers8889]

I just stumbled upon ur video... I now have a new favorite person to craft with! You are wonderful! You have a new subscriber in me.

[@karindungee4277]

Barbara was my discovery for today and I am still laughing at her funny but so informative presentation!! Great idea of a “sandwich” art piece. I am thinking of doing the background behind the stencil in silk (why not?).

[@CatherineSummerfield]

You actually make me laugh out loud and I live alone so its ok... !!! OMGoodness... you are a comedic artist !! THANK you for some artful levity !!!

[@allthumbs3792]

Love to watch you work, your humor and manner just make me smile. Brits are the best. Right!

Hello from Illinois USA. New subscriber. Really enjoyed watching this tutorial and looking forward to seeing more.

[@robinalcorn5140]

The Clarity projects are always so elegant. I love all Clarity videos but Barbara is my favorite. I'm glad you include mixed media and gelli printing in your product demos.

[@deborahreeder2901]

I really enjoy your videos, Barbara! You've just raised crafting to fine art!

[@Katerina-vm2ok]

Just recently came across your channel...love it! And the humour is great and the prints are fabulous!

[@jonihorn6515]

Barbara, You are delightful! You give me a smile each time I watch. Great ideas. Thank you so for sharing. 😊

[@soniab2216]

I love, love, love your video's! You make it so much fun, come up with brilliant ideas and such lovely art work! I can relate to your banter, sayings and facial expressions I'm from across the pond. I had to order a gel plate...thanks Gray for helping me spend my money! LOL

Great tutorial!!! And...you’re a hoot!!

[@judyhyland682]

You really are a hoot and so great at this!!!

[@coolstamper]

Excellent presentation and final art piece…GORGEOUS…I LOVE it. One thing I was thinking you could use is the Cutterpillar Glow Premium Light Tablet. It’s similar to the glass mat that Tim Holtz sells, except it has a light source in it. You would be able to see where to place your mat on the paper without lifting it up to the light. There are two different ones…one is wireless and the other has a plug for the wall. I have the one with the plug as it was a gift to me, and I LOVE it. I told Tim Holtz that if he added a light source to his that I would purchase it. He still hasn’t done that. I wanted one with a light source as I have a ton of the old metal stencils that you need a light source and a stylus with them. Anyway, just a suggestion. ❤️🇺🇸❤️

[@callycat6660]

Love your video's your so real ..and give great tips too ..Thankyou

[@sibylleherbe8260]

I love watching your videos. The way you talk makes me feel like I’m sitting on the other side of your desk. ❤️

[@Chihiro33333]

Beautiful print, and I love your videos, Barbara! 😊

[@timeenuf4200]

Clever use of brayer roll off. I've often thought the brayer spray as I call it is often more exciting than the attempt at the print. Thank you for another wonderful demo.

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Barbara that’s so awesome and fantastic I really love 💖 this idea 💡 and makes a beautiful canvas for the wall. You’re so talented and clever and a total inspiration xxx Mags

[@judyhyland682]

Agreed!!!!

[@BigFatMixedMediaTribe]

I am watching this while doing a mixed media project. And I am using Clarity stencils and Grandfather Clock stamp!! I really like Clarity products, and Barbara is pure inspiration!

I have been wanting to get a gel press. I can get the gel press easily, but not the specialty paints. I have lots of liquid acrylic paints that I thought I might try with it. Thank you for all your wonderful tips!

[@kathyvangogh4034]

So entertaining, creative and knowledgeable. Talk about late to the party, I've just ordered a gel press. I want to print on baby bibs.. Thx for sharing, much appreciated. You rock woman!

[@stanky6261973]

I love this tutorial and I love her energy.

[@jeannkya3423]

You are talented and hilarious 😂 what a great combination. Love to watch and get inspired.

[@MaryPrasadArt]

Beautiful project - enjoyed watching. Just wanted to mention that there is no oil in acrylic paint. What you are seeing is binder separating out of the paint - usually gum Arabic. It can (and probably should) be mixed back in, especially if applying to non porous surfaces or it may not adhere properly (e.g. it may start peeling away over time). It doesn’t matter as much on paper since the paper is absorbent. Thanks for the awesome project!

[@juneribbons5196]

Those are very nice !!!

[@MrTarot1975]

Great demo Barbara. Hope you're well

[@martharodriguez4864]

[@catharinabellekom2013]

Thank you, Barbara. You're amazing. from New Zealand. You know we can not buy these gelli blocks here. A pity!!!

[@lorenniwa1984]

Love it!

[@silkeschumann7261]

If you take a pastel or crayon in a contrasting color to whatever is on the back, you can frottee/rub the dye just enough to have the edges and it becomes easy to cut as precisely as you want it.

[@dinamic6210]

I would love to do this and frame it. I sure wish your products were available to ship from the US.

[@judilynn9569]

I've heard "Bob's your uncle" since childhood, but never knew it's origin. Time to google.....

[@ClaireWill71uk]

Hopefully clarity can start selling digital file of Dies.... for Cutting machine crafters. I’ve 6 different thumb drives at £50 - 80 rrp. Each.

[@judyhyland9483]

It’s fun to use, but I’m still a beginner. I want to use with canvases

[@suzyallen1726]

Wow. I could never afford all that.

[@alrenefischer4481]

Do you send to South Africa .? I would like to order from you 😊

[@Faith-qp8us]

I am confused by the "oil" since acrylic paint should not contain oils and is water based. No?

[@user-fg2lt6oq1o]

возможно ли сделать такую доску дома. из чего она состоит?

[@nelliechappell6193]

Sending Ewe A Bickie... lol ..🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪 lol Enjoy

[@nelsonartmnelsonartn908]

Oh Dear, i found a craft maker that is real. The surface is messy, and she is having fun. It comes out, or you fix it. Thank you. I dont trust a completely clean craft surface.

[@judyhyland9483]

You make me laugh!!!!

[@michelleosborne8951]

Isn’t that acrylic paint? Why do you keep saying there is oil in the paint

[@tinagillhamevans667]

the sound is toooooo quiet, on your videos
