Dear Ceri, Thank you! For decades, I have collected odds and ends, bits and bobs. My supposed friends have given me no end of grief about my eccentricity (my word, they use less kind words).; unfortunately, my rate of acquiring materials far exceeds my production rate, so I have few opportunities to say, "See?!" Seeing your video has given a much needed boost to my self - confidence. Yours truly, A New Subscriber

Still going back to the playlist - these are genius! THANKS, Ceri.😁😘💙

I will have to see if my Dollar Store has some of these fun foam sheets! Your custom boards are TERRIFIC! Thank you Mister Ceri!

I came here from the other video! Thanks for all of this. Wonderful!

Ceri: nice tip for making forms for a geli plate. Thank you. Carol from California

Oh my goodness. Brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing this!

I love these, even better, I think I have every thing I need to make some!

Thank you for sharing how you made these!

Thank you. Can't wait to do this.

This was a very helpful video. Thanks!

Thanks for showing how you use your Big Shot. I never thought using the fun foam to make shapes!

This is GREAT idea!!! I'm going to do this!!! Thx for video. Austin,TX USA

You always have great ideas. Love watching your videos.

Fascinating video. Thx again Ceri,

How clever! Thanks for the inspiration 😊

Wow very very cool

You have no idea how nice it was to watch this video. Just what I just searching for. I got lots of fun foam to give a very good use. It's a pity that I don't know where my cutting machine is. Well, got to do it with the materials I have. Thanks sooooo much, Ceri the crafter 🙏😀👍❤️

Wow! This is a great idea! It does open the door to having a plethora of different self-created designs - the possibilities are endless. Thanks so much!

fantastic tutorial. I must make a gelli plate play date with myself asap😊tfs

Hi Ceri, This is very cool. I always wanted to see what a big shot did. I love how you thought of these. The “bar code” looking one is great. Especially that you can use it as a contemporary skyline too❤️. As always, thank you for sharing❤️⭐️

Thankyou Ceri for this video!! I had no idea how to do this ty so much

I love that you share inexpensive ways to create.

thank you, wow! great ideas for making these for gel plate printing

I enjoyed watching you create this board, your other ones are amazing too. Looking forward to videos where you show us how you use them. Thank you for sharing! Have a great Sunday. 👍😊

Thank you Ceri for showing us how to do this! I never would have thought of fun foam! Have a great day!

Ceri, this is certainly a great idea, very helpful and you need only a few supplies. This is a great way to create many backgrounds. Thanks so much for sharing!!!

Can’t wait for you to use these hope there’s a video

Brillaint! as always--🌼 I've been steadily watching your videos for days and days--now I'm itchin' to get my plate out and make some Ceri-inspired magic (AND reorganize my studio AND do some faux stamps and postcards en masse). Pretty sure I said this earlier, you're costing me a fortune--now I'm wanting/needing a die-cut machine--lol. 😉 Thanks for all you do 🤗

I absolutely love this idea Ceri, thank you so much for sharing. You offer so much inspiration and motivation x

Great techniques!💕

Very cool Idea!

Thank you so much Ceri! I’ve really been looking forward to this video and so pleased I have all the supplies I’ll need! WE HAVE RAIN! Hello from soggy Northern California, USA

I've made stamps with fun foam/dies but not texture boards. Great idea and i have everything to give it a go. Thank you!

Wow love that idea thankyou for sharing with us x

Great tutorial, thanks for sharing! I got some different textured fun foam from Hobbycraft and used the whole A4 sheet to make texture on my gel prints. I need to try cutting some shapes too 😀

I really love what you did with the strips! Thanks for sharing

Hi Ceri. I love them. That was a great idea!

Great instructions on how to make!! LOVE what you've created...your ideas & designs are fantastic!! 💙

Thanks for sharing, Ceri! You explain it all so clearly, I now feel comfortable to give it a try 😊

Thanks Ceri these are genius!! Especially the ones that you make your own shapes those are so cool would be something no one else would have!! Thank you for all your inspiration Ceri!! Another great video that I'm sharing soon, with a group I do challenges with. 🐞✌️🕉️

Thank you so much Ceri, I really really enjoyed watching you taking us through the way you create your texture board’s for the Gelli plate.I’m really looking forward to seeing what you do with them. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

I love the designs you came up with. Will be looking forward to seeing how they print on the gelli plate. I definitely want to make some so craft foam is on my shopping list.

Oh my gosh Ceri! I wasn't through watching you make these things!!!!! lol I was so into them and you were signing off I was like what?????? Too funny!!!!!! This was a lot of fun to watch and I can only imagine the possibilities are endless!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!!!

Thank you! so informative.

Very helpful and inspiring! I've got some of those items. Excited to making my own. The striped ones were great. A city scape or plaid would be very eye appealing! Thank you for a great idea!

Great ideas. I have been cutting dies into fun-foam to use as corresponding stamps, but didn’t know to seal them with mod podge first, so great tip. I like you, also live in Wales.

I have a diamond one I made. I love it. I sometimes use my texture plates as a stamp too. I think it such fun to make your own bits and pieces. Thank you Ceri for sharing your techniques and skills

I really like this tutorial Ceri. My favorites are the grids you made, anticipating how you'll use them :-),

Thank you for sharing with us your amazing texture boards and how you make them. I have a pack of fun foam I use on my cards for dimension instead of using dimensional tape which is more expensive. But I just use the black white and brown. Wasn't sure what I was going to use all the other colors for. Now I know. Have a wonderful day.😊

I had ordered a pack of fun foam in hopes to use it with the Cricut (not having much luck with that) but I am going to hand it over to P for some Frank'n Foam Fun. This is a great way to make even more out of texture plates/boards.

Thank you for this vid! I will def use it.

Tysm ceri , iv got stuff to make these wow xxx sp

Brilliant! Thank you!

Oh how fun!!!! TYFS!!! ♥️🥀🙏

What a great idea. Tx

I found this video very interesting, thank you. I haven't made one of these yet, but I think you can make your plates waterproof with shellac (aka button polish). A couple of coats each side, diluted with methylated spirit, will make it easy to get rid of ink or paint residue. I'm not sure how it would react with the spongy cutouts, but will definitely be ok with card cutouts. I do collagraph printing on an intaglio press and the plates need to be thoroughly sealed.

The boards are a great idea, I make smaller ones, but now I want to make some larger ones like yours! I have seen you on PM Artist Studio's livestreams as they confuse me when they say our names. I didn't realise you were in the UK! Anyway, now I have found your channel, I am subscribed of course. 💗💗

thank you for sharing

Thank yu !

Ceri did you see the kind of challenge Gayle gave you. I think it would be great. ❤ you both❣

❤️❤️❤️

Another name for those are collagraph plates. I watched a few collagraph printing artists. Many use shellac to seal their plates.

Great video thank you, can't wait to check out your channel 😊.... And subscribe of course!

Mood boards

I would think heavy gel medium would work well also.

Ceri, where did you find strip dye??

I hope this comment gets to you! I have just ONE question for you. Maybe 2? Firstly, could l use pva glue instead of Modpodge? It dries clear
