Thank you so much! I'm glad you found this video helpful. ❤️

Thank you so much!! Wow what I nice compliment. I'm glad you liked this. I recently started a new series on stencil making and plan to do some gel print videos using the stencils I make for the series. I hope you'll watch. 🥰

That's awesome! Have a great time playing. 🥰

Thank you! I'm so happy to hear you learned something new. That's awesome! Yes...they've been together over 7 years so we know each other well which makes it even more fun and we are very similar in taste and style so I've had a great time working with her. ❤️

Thank you. I love using iridescent as well as metallics. I feel like they add another layer of interest. Thanks for watching. 🥰

Thank you for watching and commenting. I'm glad you found this video useful. I hope you'll check out my two in depth series on stencil making. ❤️

Yes OF course. ​last year I myself planned to make 1 stencil video but got VERY busy with attending weddings.

Thank you so much! Yes, I've been trying to use my Cricut more and making stencils has been so much and opened up a whole new world of creating. ❤️

Thank you! Will do! I'm glad you liked it. ❤️

Thanks so much 😊

Thank you so much!

You are so welcome! Thank you for your comment. I'm having waaayyyy to much fun making these....so much so that I'm finding it hard to do other things I should be doing. ☺️❤️

@@heartandsoulfuldesign 😄 well, I'm glad you're having such fun!

Gern geschehen. Vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen und Kommentieren. 🥰

Thank you so much for your comment Jennifer. That means so much as I can be the same way....it's a constant struggle. 🥰

Thank you for watching Angie. You are so welcome 🥰

Thank you so much! Just one of my many obsessions. Still learning and hope to do more gel plate videos. Thank you for watching and commenting. 🥰

Oh wow thank you! I'm glad you found it helpful. 🥰

Thank you so much! I just love the look of turquoise and metal so tend to play with them often. Definitely not an expert just learning and sharing. Thanks for watching and leaving your comment. 🥰

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and commenting. ❤️

I'm so happy to hear you worked it out and didn't give up. I know how frustrating it can be. I tried so many of the presets but never did find one that worked for me and had to create my own. I'm glad you stuck with it. Now is where the fun begins. 🥰

Thank you 🥰

Thank you 🥰

Awesome, thank you! 🥰

Welcome back! You probably haven't missed too much. I haven't been posting videos as frequently. Life calls... and then when I get back into the studio I don't know where to start...🥰

Thank you so much! I just changed it a bit after using it. I think I'll like the 2.0 version better.....we'll see. That's part of the fun of making your own...you can make adjustments as needed. 🥰

Thank you Marie! I'm glad you enjoyed it. ❤️

Thanks for subbing! So sorry about the frustration. I guess I must not have been clear in the video. All the stencils are ones I've created for my own use. Since the making of this video, I've created two video series where I start with the very basics about making your own stencils. I'm cutting mine with a Cricut Maker but from comments I have received from those who have watched my series, the ideas also work with other cutting machines or cutting by hand. I've thought about offering my designs as svg files in my Etsy shop but haven't done that to date. 🥰

Thank you so much! I haven't sold any stencils at this point. I've been toying with the idea of selling my favorites and maybe even selling just my svgs files so that people with a cutting machine can cut their own.

Welcome and thank you for watching and commenting 🥰

Thank you so much! After this video, I did two stencil series, Stencil Making 101: kzfaq.info/sun/PLLZLDkP8ZTq3bcQLnOVJ-NrfjYCPhP4PA and Stencil Making 2.0: kzfaq.info/sun/PLLZLDkP8ZTq0buwdeFLyb2AXfF75GUg8_

Awesome! Thank you! I've since done two series on stencil making so I hope you'll check those out too. After the current series I'm working on I hope to do some more gel printing videos as well. I so glad to hear you're finding inspiration. ❤️

Welcome Judy! Thanks for watching.

Hi Virginia. Thank you for watching and your comment. 🥰

Hi Sandy. Thank you so much! I do love my grunge. I think everyone has certain colors they are drawn to and we seem to always go back to those. Just look around your house or in your closet 😉.

Thank you so much! I'm using my Cricut Maker. I have a previous video where I show how I make them. It took me a bit to get the right settings for the material I was using so I share that as well. Here's a link: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hbSfi5aLzK6ncaM.html 🥰

Thank you. Yes I did a video with out I've been making stencils with with my Cricut. I've been asked to do a more detailed video on the subject so I may try and do that soon. I think I'd also like to make a video(s) making stencils with different materials and without a machine. Here's a link to the one I have so far: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hbSfi5aLzK6ncaM.html ❤️

Hi Angela. Thank you so much! I have started making my own stencils using my Cricut Maker. There was a previous video where I shared this: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hbSfi5aLzK6ncaM.html. I am going to begin a new series very soon where I will share more in depth all that I am learning about making your own stencils. There will be an introductory video soon explaining what I'll be covering so I hope you'll stay tuned! ❤️

I use a Cricut Maker with Samsil Craft Plastic. I created two series after this video that show in great detail my journey into stencil making. Start with Stencil Making 101. kzfaq.info/sun/PLLZLDkP8ZTq3bcQLnOVJ-NrfjYCPhP4PA 🥰

Hi Kate. Thank you for your input. I think I've only made one voice over video ever so I need to maybe get more comfortable with that. I am planning to do more gel print videos to go along with the new stencil making series I've started. I prefer to just put music on while I create so that might be a fun way to do this series. Record my gel print sessions while I listen to music and then do voice over for the video. I'll have to try that...🥰

Welcome! Thank you for watching. I do not sell my stencils at this point. I have had several requests. I do not work with a manufacturer so I would be cutting them myself. I may do a poll with several of my favorites to see if there's interest and then put a few in my Etsy shop. Otherwise, I've also thought about selling the SVGs so that a person could purchase a file with multiple designs and cut them at home. I do share so much information in my the two series I created after the video you watched. Stencil Making 101: kzfaq.info/sun/PLLZLDkP8ZTq3bcQLnOVJ-NrfjYCPhP4PA and then there's a Stencil Making 2.0 created after. Yes, I love working with metallic and iridescent paints. You might start with just purchasing some iridescent medium which you can mix with any paint to may it iridescent. You will find all the product links including the craft plastic I use in the description of the videos. ❤️

@@heartandsoulfuldesign thank you, I’ll go look at those videos. I have only watched the ones suggested to me. Cheers

Thank you! I've actually done two series on stencil making since the making of this video. I'd start with the first series which is Stencil Making 101: kzfaq.info/sun/PLLZLDkP8ZTq3bcQLnOVJ-NrfjYCPhP4PA Then there's a second series called Stencil Making 2.0 which is a continuation. Enjoy! ❤️

Thank you for watching. Drying time depends on several factors including where you live and how humid it is there. It also depends on how much paint is on the plate. It really doesn't take much paint and the more you have on the longer it will take to dry. I often put too much paint on and will use a piece of tissue or deli paper to remove some of the paint before I finish rolling. This just takes practice. You should leave your final paper on and rub evenly; this will help you to feel when it's dry enough to remove. The paper will start out feeling cold and maybe even damp as you rub. Once you feel like you've rubbed enough you can leave it on for a bit or lift one corner to see if it's ready to pull. If it's not, I'd wait ten minutes or so and check it again. I wouldn't leave the paper on for more than 20 minutes or so because then the paper might be stuck to your plate and be a mess trying to peel off. This especially happens if you are using something like old book page for your pull. You only want to leave old book page on for a few minutes. As far as the old paint that's left behind on your plate you can either clean it off or leave it like I do. I often like a grungy look so I leave all that paint left behind on the edges and just put my gel plate back in its shell like that until next time. If you want to clean your gel plate and you have dry paint on it, I like to use some white or light color paint and just roll it out on the plate. This will soften the old paint underneath and you should be able to pull the whole thing off and have a clean plate. If you still have some unwanted paint left behind, I use a baby wipe to rub it off. I hope this helps. 🥰

@@heartandsoulfuldesign Thank you so much. This is very helpful!

Hi Judy. I’m working on an in-depth series. Here’s a link to the first half: STENCIL MAKING 101 with Cricut & More kzfaq.info/sun/PLLZLDkP8ZTq3bcQLnOVJ-NrfjYCPhP4PA

I love Japanese rice paper. I've tried a few recommended by other channels but found my own favorite which is this one from Amazon: amzn.to/3uYmBFw. It is two sided with a smoother side and a rough side. I use the smooth side for pulling my prints. Happy creating! ❤️

Tak fordi du så med🥰

Thank you so much for asking, I have had this question several times now. I've also been asked if I'd share or sell my SVG's for those wanting to cut their own using my patterns. I am seriously considering doing something like this so I appreciate your interest. I will try to work on this over the coming year. I've had a rough year or so of health issues that have kept me from doing as much in 2023 as I would have liked. I will be out of commission for the next couple of months recovering from surgery and am hopeful that the rest of my year will be much more productive so stay tuned. I'm sure when I have something available I will share it here as well as on my Facebook and Instagram. Thank you 🙏

@@heartandsoulfuldesign I’m so sorry…I hope you’re able to recover quickly. It’s been a tough four years with my mom. I’m sole caregiver and she’s had issues after issues. The worst…shingles in her mouth and throat. I’ve recently discovered geli plates and I’m loving them. Helps to temporarily escape from watching someone I love suffering all the time. I hope you’re better soon . ❤️ from 🇨🇦

Thank you. I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. Watching our loved ones age and decline in health is very hard so I'm glad you have found a way to take care of yourself creatively. Gel plates are a great way to relax and escape. I'm anxious to get this surgery over with and get back into the studio hopefully sooner than later 🙏🏼❤️

I'm not sure if your comment is a criticism or a compliment regarding this video. I hope you learned something from this video as I have also been criticized for too much talk by some. In my case, I'm just learning as I go and sharing what I figure out in case it can be helpful for others. Thank you for watching.
