Ever try gel plate printing on tissue paper? This is one of the easiest ways to get delicate, layered prints. It’s also a fun way to make unique handmade cards for the holidays. These are my favorite tips to get your printing just right 🟩 Use art tissue or wet-strength tissue (Spectra Art Tissue is my go-to - it holds up super well) 🟩 Add a little more paint than you would with regular paper for a stronger pull 🟩 When placing the tissue on the plate, press lightly to avoid tearing 🟩 Peel it

Ever wonder exactly how I make my mixed media collages? Here’s my full step-by-step process with all the tools and materials I use ⬇️ For this collage, I’m using a Speedball Handbook Journal. 1. Choose collage papers for your base layer - most of mine are gel plate printed papers on copy or cartridge paper. 2. Trim and glue papers down using UHU or Elmer’s glue sticks. 3. Add a translucent layer of translucent acrylic ink, spreading with a silicone color shaper. I like Liquitex alcohol inks. 4.

Gel plate magazine transfers aren’t just for faces and figures 👀 I love using magazine pages to capture patterns, textures, and graphic details - they add so much depth and interest to collage work. Here are some tips: → Roll on a layer of acrylic paint → Look for high-contrast images, patterns, or bold textures → Use a light touch when placing the magazine page on the plate → Let the page sit for a few minutes → Allow the paint to dry, then add another layer of paint to lift the image → You ca

Once you try paint markers on a gel plate, you might not stop. Here’s how I like to use it: ⚪ Draw directly onto your gel plate with an acrylic paint marker. ⚪ Opaque, fast-drying markers work best: Posca, water-based Sharpie, Montana (I’m using the 50mm in silver here). ⚪ Let your marks dry completely ⚪ Roll a thin layer of paint over the plate ⚪ Add your paper (I’m using deli paper here), press, and let it sit for a moment ⚪ Pull the print to reveal your transferred drawing 🏷️ Gel Plate Print

You won’t believe what I print on, but it’s one of my favorite materials to use in collage and mixed media work 👀 A lot of you have asked about the large graphic numbers that show up in my collage pages. The secret? I repurpose pages from a @stendigcalendars wall calendar. I cut them up, print on them, and transform them into bold collage elements. The calendar pages are uncoated, which means they’re not glossy and take paint beautifully. There’s no smearing or slipping, just rich, layered text

If you’re trying to find your artistic voice, this is a good place to start. My artwork changed completely when I began making my own stencils and masks for gel printing. The moment I stopped relying on store-bought designs and started creating my own shapes, my work finally started looking like me. Here’s how to make your own stencils and masks for a Gelli plate: ▪️ Sketch any shape you like on a piece of paper (I like reusing Tyvek envelopes, but thick paper works too) ▪️ Cut out your shapes ▪

Start the year with a simple creative project ✂️📚 If you’re craving a low-pressure way to ease back into making art, collaging in a children’s board book is a perfect place to begin. The pages are sturdy, forgiving, and way more fun than a blank sketchpad. I’m teaching a FREE online class where I show you how to confidently collage inside kids’ board books and turn them into playful, layered art journals. No perfection required - just cutting, gluing, and seeing what happens. It’s an easy, appr
