I think I used my gelli plate once. I really need to pull it back out. Great cards babes!!
Gurl, you do.
I have so many stencils I need to use and acrylic paints that I'm pretty sure I've had since God was a teenager. I need to get a gel press and start using all this stuff and make some of these prints. Thanks for the inspiration. I've now watched this video twice, because I forgot to comment the first time when I watched the other day and it was fun to watch again! So thanks for sharing and thank you for your enthusiasm.
HAHAHAHA! Since God was a teenager! That's awesome...... Thanks so much for watching, and twice nonetheless! :)
Wow! Congrats to reaching 5k subs to Ardyth, Kathya, and Jenny!
🎉
Your enthusiasm is infectious!
My hubs happened to be in the room when I was watching this and I paused it and said babe...and before I could say anything else he said, lemme guess, you need that stuff? I just started laughing. That’s what 25 years of marriage looks like!! And l love it...as I do these prints and cards!! TFS 💗
HAHA! I love your husband! And you!
I have a had a gel press for 2 years and never used it, kept making excuses, loved, loved, super loved this tutorial. Thank you so much Laurel. You crack me up also. Let’s face it, in today’s world, especially now, you have to have a sense of humor or your done. Tfs, many a Blessings!
HAHAH, have a sense of humor or youre done! So true.
My favourite was the stamped and die cut flowers, this turned out so pretty
Thanks!
Why have I never thought to cut stencils with my Cricut!?!? Thank you for all the inspiration!
LOL! I'm just so cheap and stencils are so expensive.....
I enjoy your style! Just go for it!

Hi Laurel. How about a video on how to make stencils from your Cricut since you mentioned it, including a supply list. That would be awesome! Loved the prints!

You have majorly introduced me to gel printing now which I thought I was not going to like so much but oh my the hours of fun my daughter and I can have with this is just mind blowing and cool. Love the cards you made with these backgrounds.
I'm so glad! I print with my 7 year old. She adds fun shapes to the gel press before printing! Give it a whirl!

Awesome cards! I haven't played with my Gel Press in so long, I need to pull it out again!
It's so good!
I've never used gel press. You make it look like I could do this. Thanks
You are so welcome!
You make it look so easy!
Stunning
Laurel, you are amazing!! I purchased a gel plate awhile ago after I'd seen a few examples of the cool cards you can make with it, but haven't ventured using it yet. I kind of had no idea how to even begin, but seeing you just go for it & ending up with a couple I thought I'd throw away, you ended up making so many cards that my mouth was very nearly hanging open. lol You've given me a much better idea of how to get started & just loosen up & go with the flow. Thanks so much! Congrats to Ardyth, Kathya & Jenny!
I hope you'll pull out the gel plate and give it a go Teri!
Okayyyy now have to add gel plate to wishlist -- love the colorFULL effects you got. Love your videos. Thanks!
This is a FANTASTIC video!! This is exactly the kind of art I like to do (I’ve been playing with coffee and eco dyeing lately and it’s the same surprising “you never know what you’re going to get” process). This is the best video I’ve seen in a long time!! TYFS! Michigan USA 💜🦋❤️
Wonder if you could have made a digital print copy of that last one? 🤔
wow!!! thanks!!!!!
Great eye for color combinations and layout, the results are dynamite!
Thanks so much!
Very interesting. I especially liked the last four cards where there was lots of white space and you could see the interesting edges of the print.
Thank you! That was my favorite print too!
Like the stencil technique. Now I want a gel press.
You made it so it looked super easy, WAO!!! Love the cards, they turned out amazing!
Thanks so much!
I really enjoyed watching this video. I've never tried this technique but it reminds of all the fun we had in art class in school. No worries about getting messy and having fun.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really neat-love this!
WOW I have never used a gel press/gel plates! What a cool technique and SO MANY amazing colors and cards! Just awesome!
Time to find my gel presses and start making art. I’ve been in a slump, and you just dug me out. Thank you!
You got this!
I really like your videos. You don’t waste a lot of time, gathering supplies and waving your hands back-and-forth talking and you get straight to the meat and potatoes and I just want you to know that I am loving your videos. Thank you for doing it.
How fun! You make using the gelli plates look like so much fun. And the cards are beautiful. Thank you for being a part of this video hop to celebrate 5000 subscribers for the three ladies. BTW I am a new subscriber here ♥️
