[@robingoff322]

Ceri pops up on my screen, and whatever content I am watching, I stop, and click on Ceri’s video to watch. I don’t have a gel plate, but will watch anyway, cause I love all of your content! Even Coffee with Ceri.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you, you could always do this either way painting techniques.

[@letha57]

Ditto ❤

[@DebbieRhew]

I do the same thing. Debbie

[@Shannon_Bryan]

Me too!

[@michelleflynn3986]

Me too no gel plate just enjoy Ceri videos

[@daledapprich3122]

The sun and shadows just add to the magic that is a lesson by you Ceri!❤️

[@juliemonroe105]

Always love seeing your creations. Ceri, there are a bunch of us asking creators if they could make a Joie de fi project & video to support and uplift her. Her health isn't doing very well. And we just lost Rhonda Winstead to cancer in past couple weeks. Our community is so wonderful. Xx, Julie

[@CeriGriffiths]

Julie do you mind sending me an email about this so that it doesn’t get lost in the comments and I forget. Thank you. www.cerigriffithscreativedesigns.com/contact

Good evening dear Ceri, I’m not sure how I missed this video? 🤔, fabulous tips! Always enjoyable , I always learn. Thank you so much for all you do. I’m keeping all my washi tape innards. Have a blessed evening , thanks again, you are so appreciated. Hugs 🤗 ❤

[@milliemoss918]

Ceri, your one of the most inspiring u tube crafters I watch. So easy on the ear and always inspiring. Always learn something new.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Millie

[@lizannebutner876]

I am so thankful that you take the time and have the willingness to show what not to do and why. I am excited because I have some full sheet labels and I love the idea of using my die cuts to create my own shaped labels! I really appreciate all your videos and insight! 😊

[@nicolinavincelli9369]

Ceri, love how mix paints and it looks great, all your stamps are so original , I like them, enjoy your day.

[@deannecaracciolo8045]

The waste product was so gorgeous! Love all the printing today. You are an inspiration!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you so much

[@keenDesign64]

Super fun and doable for all - including getting kids involved in making their own "stickers" xx I have no idea why I haven't made one of those cellotape inner do dads.... a rummage in the drawers needed this afternoon for sure ...xxxxxx

[@CeriGriffiths]

Have fun!

[@wendypender7029]

The orange/yellow one was beautiful!

[@barbaracabrera207]

Great video!!! Never thought about labels sticking to gel plate!!! Thx for that! Great labels! TFS! Austin TX USA

[@CeriGriffiths]

You are so welcome

[@Ann-eh7ii]

This video was so helpful as I have both types of labels. You are a great teacher of art. ❤️

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you so much

[@conniec4629]

I love the idea of using the washi tape centers for circles. This is a must try for me! And as always-all ways your videos are the best.❤. I have not even noticed the sunshine. 😂.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you so much Connie

[@ChicagoDreamer5]

These are incredible. Love them. Thanks for sharing your creativity.

[@artcuriousbymnw]

I Enjoyed this labels making Ceri❤ TFS

[@donnaswisher8408]

Hi Ceri. Fun video. Learned a lot. TFS Hope you have a great day. 🌞

[@suzannerivard4479]

Oh Ceri, I just can’t believe (well I can but it’s SO ridiculous) 😤that people have an issue with the sunshine!!!! You are so worth watching and the sunshine makes no difference! Some people will complain about anything and everything. Keep on with your videos!!!! ❤️

[@CeriGriffiths]

👍

[@Shannon_Bryan]

Thank you for making this video! The tips and tricks are very appreciated and helpful!

[@cynthiaduprey1549]

"Trust the Process" t shirt. Yes,please!

[@kristinaclark9162]

Love the “waste” product. Beautiful.

[@CeriGriffiths]

Me too

[@btracey]

Ooh, thank you for all the helpful tips as I’m new to multi media, so fun to see your mark making tools and inspiring. These came out great 👍 😊 Tim holtz has a revers stamp it’s a at older one, if I remember correctly it’s text or maybe numbers. 😂Everyone complained that it was reversed and thought he had made it in error😂

[@JudiH-ig6uu]

Hi Ceri! I just bought a set of gel plates...8x10 and 5x7...my first project will be these wonderful labels!!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Have fun, Just remember to play.

[@herghostcreations]

I want a "trust the process" t-shirt!! If you use a site to get them made, a few of us would probably order them, too! I am trying to learn that for myself--there's always a point with my art and writing where I think, "this is awful." Then a few layers/edits later, totally different piece! Great metaphor for life, too--just keep going and trust in the process! This was a great video as always, thanks for sharing!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you I’ll think on it.

[@susanfernandes7748]

I wouldn't put a gel print through a laser printer. The fuser for the toner is quite hot and there's a chance it would melt the paint which is essentially plastic. That would completely muck up your laser. I send tracing paper through my laser printer by taping it across the top of the paper to a sheet of copy paper. It isn't necessary to to tape the sides since the pull is from the top. Thanks for sharing your tips!

[@CeriGriffiths]

Good to know Susan, thank you.

[@debbiethompson1320]

Ceri. Thank you for always showing us your technique when we request it. I absolutely love your videos. Did you say you’ll show us how you use your issue papers?

[@CeriGriffiths]

Yes, soon

[@JeanandKenny]

I found a pack of Avery labels I'd gotten years ago. I love your process I just need the gel plate lol! I hate diagonals too, I think it makes me think that everything is crooked :/ I've been favoring orange/coral and pink lately but the final (waste) product was honestly my favorite! Anyway, this was great fun, thanks for sharing Ceri.

[@sueanneweddell4831]

Love these! They are so cool! 😊

[@SpydersCorner]

Brilliant as always...😊

[@betsyarfmann5421]

❤🎉Thank you Ceri

[@sandrapotter1785]

What a great video! Thank you😊

[@InHappinessandDistress]

Thank you Ceri for making this video! 🧡They came out so beautiful, I think the green one was my favourite. "It not like they need to be fed" 🤣I am going to steel that phrase when my kids thinks I have bought to much washi or paper 🤣 /Camilla

[@CeriGriffiths]

You are so welcome

[@InHappinessandDistress]

@@CeriGriffiths May I ask you something, especially as a english speaking person, and I will of course understand if you don´t feel as to answer it. The answer is of course a bit about personal taste also...but...I am looking for an english poem book, poem collection of sorts, light, beautiful poems to use in junkjournals and art journals etc, as is or pieces of. But, I am not so good at english poetry. Would you by any chance have a suggestion Ceri? Or anyone else seeing this?

[@jodinicholas890]

Awesome! Thank you

[@laneyno8]

I could literally watch your videos ALL day! “Now”, I would like to see this video taken one more step…please. Show us what you’re actually going to do with these prints. Would so love to see the variety of tags, labels, the “anythings” you come up with. And do you back the labels on heavier cardstock to make ephemera? And btw…we stopped seeing the sunshine marks at about 10 seconds. We only see your work and you don’t have to apologize

[@CeriGriffiths]

I’ll add your request to future videos, yes I back my ephemera with thin card for stability.

[@alisonmartin6101]

For you and Biscuit. 😃🇨🇦

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you Alison thats so kind, I’ll make sure Biscuit gets an extra treat.

[@hollyjollyjunk7616]

So yummy!!!!!

[@belindazimmer2107]

This was super fun! I love your style and the organic look of your gel plate backgrounds like when you mix a bit the two colors….fabulous! Were you using regular tissue paper like what you would use on the inside of a present? I thought it might be deli paper but I noticed you said tissue so I’m now curious. So many ideas are now whirling in my head but of course I must finish my current project before trying some of your amazing techniques. Thank you so much for new inspiration and fun! 🥰

[@CeriGriffiths]

The tissue I used was a wet strength tissue called Carnival tissue paper but I will be filming a video on how to use gift wrap tissue as there are techniques that help with more fragile papers.

[@devinemsm05]

Always have time for a Ceri video. Question please Ceri.. what are the black circles and half circles under your gel plates?

[@CeriGriffiths]

They are rubber feet on the underneath of the plexiglass plate to stop it slipping around, my gel plate is then on top of the plexiglass.

[@devinemsm05]

Thank you! Genius.

[@marnyr9610]

Thanks for that Ceri that was very interesting. I have a question about brayers, I heard someone say there was soft and hard brayers, does it make a difference as to which one you use, I don't have a gel plate yet but I'm really looking forward to getting one and when I heard that about the brayers I just thought I'd ask. Thanks again Ceri, that was great info we all learned 😀

[@CeriGriffiths]

I use a soft brayer as I believe hard brayers are for ink printing, I have heard though of people gel printing with both hard and soft………the soft brayer has never let me down.

[@godschild1305]

[@valerieb8006]

👍❤💙💜

[@loveforpaper6203]

New subscriber friend 😊saw Gayle recommended your videos

[@CeriGriffiths]

Thank you and welcome to my channel.

[@JudiH-ig6uu]

What are your gel plates sitting on?

[@CeriGriffiths]

They’re acrylic or plexiglass plates so that can move them around readily.

[@stacyjames4016]

I do the same

[@CeriGriffiths]

Fabulous
