I’ve got another idea for using up your Gelli prints plus a super simple monoprinting technique AND a free template too! All in today’s video! I know! You didn’t expect that when you sat down to catch up with your blogs this morning did you?
So I have a little bit of a small envelope addiction, I think it might just be part of my whole issue with stationery. The issue being that I just can’t get enough of it! Nope, there is no shortage of pens in this house, although can I find the one pen I want to use at any one time? ERr No! But that is another issue entirely. Today, let’s focus on envelopes and monoprinting! (It has been a long week, can you tell?!).
I made these little envelopes, they are just slightly bigger than a gift card size, or small secret note size, and perfect for all sorts of projects and I have a few suggestions for you in my video. You will also find out how to get hold of the template to if you watch to the end!

——— GELLI PRINTS PROJECT SERIES ———
Start here with tips on gelli printing.
Try out Project #1 with a technique for turning your drawings into mixed media collage.
Project #2 was all about using gelli prints to make botanical art.
Project #4 scan your gelli prints and use them to add printed elements in a hybrid art journal page.
Project #5 use your gelli prints to make a cute coordinated present wrap gift set (perfect for Christmas btw!).
Haven’t got a gelli plate? Don’t worry, make your own with this handy blog post on Gelatin plates.
Don’t forget to get your ***FREE Envelope Template*** to make some keepsake envelopes for your next project! I’m looking forward to hearing and seeing what you make, or plan to make, with them, so let me know or tag me in on social media!

Went to download the template for the envelope and the page can’t be found…..am I too late? I only watched that video today, July 31, 2019.
Hiya Doris,
Sorry about that. I am not sure why the link wasn’t working for you! I can send you the template directly to the email you signed up with if you are ok with me doing that?
All the best
Kim
