I love that Dyan explains why she does what she does. It helps to know the reasons behind the techniques. When you understand them, the skies the limits!

Beautifully Creative

[@NancyLynn]

Such an amazing tutorial, Dyan, and I have to add that your talent is just 'crazy'! Thank you so much for sharing...gentle hugs from Canada

[@evetei]

Lovely gifted lady. I like your style!

[@carolfrazer8067]

You can make your own Gel Plates. Just use Clear Knox Gelatin. I know how the real ones are made. Many of us can't afford them. The other thing you can do with the plate is put that embossing sheet right onto the gel plate and then roll the color on. This way you can load the gel plate with several colors at one time and still get the same effect as you did

[@amandajones6481]

Dear Carol Frazer, could you explain how you make gel plates from gelatin? Because you're absolutely right about the price of them. I saw them here in Melbourne, Australia, at an art supply store, called Eckersley's, and I winced at the cost!

[@paisleypeacock1001]

This is probably my fave gelli plate techniques tutorial. Thank you for keeping it uncomplicated and relaxed. 🥰👏👏👏

[@scrapbook]

Glad to hear it was a helpful tutorial for you! 😊

[@katf3836]

I love all the journals that Dyan has created. She's an amazing mixed media artist!!

[@BarbaraMerryGeng]

It’s all wonderful & lovely 🐇 Thank U Dyan Reavely ✨☺️🌛

[@kiaoracle]

excellent video, so much fun and so many tips! can't wait to dive in and apply...

[@cre8vmama]

I can’t get enough Dyan Reavelev vids! Love watching you work...it relaxes me and inspires me. You surprise me with the ways you work because there’s always something different. Thanks for all your great products and inspiration!!💗💗💗

[@norynory9518]

This was the best tutorial I’ve seen on gelli plates. THANK YOU.❤️♥️❤️

[@BarbaraMerryGeng]

Creative spark- right here ✨🌛

[@ericastannard2635]

Thank you, Dyan! You have certainly showed me more ways to use the brayer & gel plates. As you have demonstrated, I think I will practice using 3 colors in the same color-way. So many gel print images I’ve seen are muddy & dark, because they had contrasting colors. I think your way of adding color by printing directly onto the paper will be easier for me to control the process. I’m going to give it a try, anyway! I wish I could give you 10 stars for this video, it is a VERY HELPFUL video!

[@adrinem4513]

I never would have thought to do this. I made my own big gel plate and sometimes would think there’s got be something else I can do with it. Well now after watching this and seeing how fast the pages come to life I am going to make some small ones and definitely a round one! I can’t wait! Love watching Diane!

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

Loads of fun watching this, I love how relaxing it was to watch Dyan play with all the pretty colors of paint! Thanks so much Dyan!!! Blessings!!!

[@Blessed_Bread_Enough_Said]

I love how you showed me a different way when I make my own Gel plate. I think I'll make several small ones like yours. Thanks for sharing. 👍🙋🏻‍♀️

[@TheShmoo123]

Iv got several books on the go and gave just stalled for a year or 2 but this has given me inspiration, I dont have any gel plates as yet but I do have a couple of brayers and some of your paint and stencils so I’m going to have a go! Thanks for the kick in the pants 👍🏽🙋🏽‍♀️

[@scarlett15069]

Love everything Dylusions and love Dyan. I will be picking these up. Thanks Dyan for being you.

[@karent1717]

I like the way you do your prints right into the journal. Seems like much less mess and you are using it right away,

[@sherryliberto6749]

Wonderful, Thanks for sharing 💜💜💜✌✌Sherry

[@sgpusak]

I love her work. I'd like to get a tin for my gelli plates

Thanks for watching!

[@julieparker1114]

[@joysampson9200]

Dyan thank you so very much for your informative videos re the Gel Plates...now I know what to do! I will be watching and catching up on all I have missed!

[@histerp51]

YES I am agree with Paisley...So layed back, clear, simple and fun. Thank you

[@brendakearns1177]

This really looks like fun. I have not seen this before. I am new to scrapbooking and I am not an artist so I just love things that have color and lets you just be you. I will be getting some supplies to try it. Thank you!

[@KarenMRoth]

I love using them both ways. With lighter pastels and with more multiple bold color patches and sometimes even adding tissue paper on top and crinkling it and letting it dry then going back over the whole piece with pastels. That is the whole fun thing about it all...we get to play :)

[@margretmorris5299]

Just got your twelve paints, used them with blender now after watching you the gel plate is next thank you dyan your a joy

[@lorioverton2455]

Your videos are fantastic! I love watching them, and then using your technique. You make art easy and not so intimidating to try something new!!

[@cindyklatt]

I love watching your videos! I’m still learning how to use the gel plate. I love the uniqueness of the effects. It’s exciting to see what will show up! Thank you for sharing!

[@deborahdaniels5834]

I love these tips for using my gel press plates. So fun and a great way to get some craft time in without needing to create a finished project.

[@crozlowcrafts]

Thanks Dyan! I don’t use my plates enough... they are a little intimidating. You’ve given me the confidence and knowledge to bust out 3 colours and my smallest plates and have a play! Thank you!

[@liliana1lfr]

Excellent! Dyan, you are the best instructor.

[@RoseAngella]

Thoroughly enthralled by this gel process and your demonstrations. Never used before but I certainly will consider using in the future. 💚

[@scrapbook]

Yay! So glad to hear this!

[@tammythomas5498]

Thank you so much for sharing . Your art and techniques always inspire me . Your amazing 🌈😊

[@robbycook4364]

Fabulous demonstrations, Dyan. Love your texturing - so easy and do-able and SO effective.

[@pamelazimin4326]

I loved your video. Thank you❤️

[@jennifergellard2136]

Love it!!!

[@leighharlow7439]

I really love watching you! You have definitely inspired me to get into this gel printing! I love the journal pages that you have created!!! Thank you!!!

[@TheInvincibleViolet]

Art is so amazing... I learn about different styles and techniques of creations every day !! Thank you.. I enjoyed discovering gel plates. Great :) !!!!

[@judyhyland682]

Love your ink

[@Janna_Ash]

I’ve never seen this before...now I want to add yet another crafting hobby to my list lol.

[@karenanderson5239]

I found this very helpful. My brayer always slides on my gel plate…too much paint after watching you. I love the layered look of these prints. Thank you for the tips!

[@shannonwooters3443]

Love your techniques Dyan. Your supplies are beautiful. I been wanting to try your paints out for a while now.

[@Rachierooh]

Want everything!!! 🥰

[@jasann100]

Love this 😀

[@dorothyscott2730]

Thank you loved this video and all the info ❤

[@MaAllen417]

I love that jump start journal. Thanks for sharing.

[@jocelynannmc]

Very nicely done. Even though I do gelli prints, I learned a lot here!

[@scrapbook]

So glad to hear you learned some new tips! :)

[@debbiepettit3957]

Great tutorial, very enlightening! I've been using the brayer all wrong. I love these ideas for using the gel plates in my art journals.

[@christinebohn6527]

Inspirational!

[@marilyncruz7679]

Thank you for this lesson. I was a lot intimidated by the gel press....really want to try but at the same time not to try. You made me much more comfortable in just using one color at a time. Take it slowly. I'm gonna start with a small plate and a small traveler's notebook. Thanks again 👏😃

[@lynnetennant7885]

You are amazing! You make me feel like I can do this! Thank you. I never thought of doing multiple pages like that! I will get my gel plate out. And I love the December book!

[@CarrieRhoades]

I love making Gel Press prints for card backgrounds. Your techniques are great and I know I will be incorporating them in to what I do. Thank you so much!

[@JoanneOwens1943]

Your gels are so clean!

[@michelegourd5742]

Love everything !!! You are every talented and creative!! Thanks for sharing!!

[@patcyzauskas7216]

Thanks for showing us how u use the gel plates. I have many other shapes. I may bring them to your class with me. You don’t mention using the gel plates in the dyalog class but I do hope you will. I wanted the journal class as well but it’s full so I’m on the wait list. I want to decorate the tin. Am planning on using alcohol inks. I hope u continue to make more videos because I enjoy them so much!! 😘

[@pamburke8614]

Thank you Dyan!

[@simonesreadingnook6426]

I love your blouse :-)

[@katherinebordier6195]

OMG! I love your cat tattoo on your hand! IT is so cute!

[@lorrainedurgee1761]

July 2020, great video, I like your way of designing with the gel plates, I used too much paint..I made such a mess cause I put the stencil right on the gel plate & then I had to scrub the paint off my stencils....thank you soo much..

[@whatlizziepresents]

Thank you sweetie. I really must invest in this, LOOKS LIKE SO MUCH FUN!!!

[@caelidhg6261]

I just found out that I can make my own gel plates so I am going to do that now!

[@joanorr4001]

Lovely video, Dyan. Thank you.

[@magicinhands]

Every page of your journal is die for 😍👍

[@StitchesbySharonH]

My favorite colors! I love it! Thank you for sharing! 💜💕💜

[@sacredkeylock6300]

I love how fluid you are in your art. I’ve been binge watching all your videos, and I’m simply in love!

[@lancovey8055]

love the cat tattoo

[@SassyScrapper]

I do wish Dyan Reaveley would have classes when she is here in Arizona.

[@Veronim78]

Very cool and interesting. I have never used gel plates. This video was very helpful. Thank you for sharing.

[@matrix7418]

All of Dyan’s products are wonderful to work with. She is an inspiration. Thank you for the video

[@maristine7930]

You are a true inspiration! Got my gel plates today and I can't wait to try them!

[@lisagibbs7870]

Thank you as didn’t realise you had you’re own range to fit your journals and I’ve not seen the jump journal so will get that now and won’t be afraid of the blank page as it’s scary at times.

[@leewilliams8642]

Great learning

[@pattiestarzynski]

Love this :) I do scrap-booking, make cards and do Zentangle/Tangles. I am going to use this in my Zentangle/Tangle Journal. LOVE this to make my pages pop. Thank you.

[@lilred8234]

Her tattoos are wonderful

[@judiththompson3120]

I love your talent...

[@ads45ful]

I have the plates and tried them, results were "different". Thank you for sharing this awesome tutorial, will have another have at it now.

[@sherrysawyer1255]

Love!❤️

[@LindaMcAllister]

I love the Dylusions paint, I only wish they came in bottles, I can't keep the jars good. And a amazing class Dyan! :)

[@Cate7451]

Try spraying in a bit of water after every use. Try storing in a zoo lock or airtight container.

[@gail2139]

I like your technique! This was helpful!

[@debbiebrewington7635]

Thank you! Love your creativity!

[@joeywd2885]

WOW very informative and so so easy. Always found the Gel Plate technique undoable for me, too much work and so kinda messy, and a lot of waste. BUT, you have made me rethink the Gel Plates as I now see where the texture can be easy and simply so effective! Thank you so much for an awesome tutorial, the best one I have ever seen and I have seen a lot of them. Have a great day. : )

[@viviankirkham1677]

Beautiful and delightfully insightful!! Thank you!

[@BubblegumFunk]

Your colour range is stunning

[@dianagrygiel2967]

I have a gel plate and never use it. I really didn’t know what to do with it; now I do. Thanks.

[@angelahoynes5649]

Really enjoyed watching you. I really like your method of using the gel plate to print, I have only seen the other method till now.

[@tessamae4477]

yah woww! am gonna use this technique to one of my DIY "inserts"!!! TFS
