If you’ve been curious about gel printing but weren’t sure where to start, this week’s Try It Tuesday feature is the perfect introduction.


Our Gelli Arts Journal Kit includes everything you need to begin creating colorful layered prints, backgrounds, journals, cards, tags, and mixed media projects — all in one creative bundle.


Gel printing is one of those techniques that feels almost magical. Every pull creates unique textures, patterns, and layers, making every project completely one-of-a-kind.


What’s Included in the Kit

This all-in-one kit includes:

  • Gelli Arts brayer

  • 3” x 5” gel printing plate

  • Journal

  • Stencils

  • Texture tools and bits

  • Additional creative extras for layering and experimenting


It’s designed to help beginners jump right in while still being incredibly fun for experienced mixed media artists.


Why We Love Gel Printing

Gel printing is perfect for:

  • layered mixed media backgrounds

  • junk journals

  • handmade cards

  • scrapbook pages

  • collage art

  • art journals

  • tags and ephemera


The process is simple, relaxing, and endlessly creative.


No two prints ever turn out exactly the same — and that’s part of the fun.


Easy Ways to Use Your Prints

1. Create Background Papers

Use your gel prints as colorful backgrounds for cards, journals, and scrapbook layouts.


2. Add Stencils for Texture

Layer stencils onto your plate to create beautiful dimensional patterns and organic textures.


3. Build Collage Layers

Tear or cut your printed papers into pieces for collage clusters and mixed media embellishments.


4. Fill Your Journal

Use your prints to create colorful journal pages filled with layers, textures, and creative experimentation.


Beginner Friendly & Fun

One of the best things about gel printing is that there really are no mistakes.


Every layer adds interest, texture, and personality to your project.


You can keep things simple with a single color and stencil or build up multiple layers for bold artistic effects.


Perfect for Creative Play

This kit is especially great for:

  • beginners wanting to try mixed media

  • junk journal creators

  • scrapbookers

  • cardmakers

  • art journal enthusiasts

  • anyone who loves experimenting with color and texture
