True story. I make and send cards to Love for the Elderly Organization. Had just gotten a gelli plate and needed ideas quick, fast, and in a hurry. Mostly because I had No idea on how to use a gelli to help me create cards. Found your video. Long story short- I've gotten tons of mileage out of this. Thank you so much. My new hero :)

Love those prints, I love playing with my gelli plates. Love your cards, thanks for sharing.

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.

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.

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!

Will you do more of these videos using a gel press? Your cards came out sooooooo lovely! You blasted these out of the ball park!!! Enjoy your kids! Mine are 20-24, girls! Thank you for being YOU!

I saw this a few days ago. I am watching the blog hop and watched this one again! I love to play with things like this. Think I will look into getting a gel press, already have acrylics.

I absolutely love my gel press! I remember when I first heard of them I thought I wouldn't want one. HA! I don't even know how many I have. 5? LOL. I have begun doing some of your quick card hacks. The other day I made 235 sentiments. I was sick of it by afternoon, but I have several to choose from now: black ink on white, white embossed on black cardstock, and gold embossed on white cardstock. I need to cut down my gel prints soon, and then maybe do some with some stencils and stuff, too, in order to have those ready to go. You have inspired me so much! Thank you!

So uplifting. All the cards are wonderful, as are you for taking the time to share your wisdom, talent and passion for creating. You make it look easy. I'm going to put my gel plate, brayer, acrylics and papers to work. I feel less intimidated - thanks so much for lifting the veil of fear. And for all the inspiration you provide.

What a neat way to whip out such unique backgrounds! I really like the reveals and how you never know what you are going to get! Thanks

This looks so fun. Love the bright colors and the bold prints.
