MY FIVE FAVORITE GEL PRESS PRODUCTS - And they are on sale August 26th - August 30th!

 Hey everyone! Today I'm sharing my 5 favorite Gel Press products and GUESS WHAT...they are on sale!  Gel Press asked me to make a list of favorite products, share with you why I love them and then let you know that for a limited time, they will be 20% OFF on their site! How awesome is that!

My first pick is the Impressables Designer Series REPEAT CIRCLES GEL PRESS. When I first opened this Gel Press I immediately filled it with color and lifted the circles off to create a relief.  It's my absolute favorite thing to do with this press.  Each print is a work of art, perfect for a little square frame to hang on your wall!  LINK TO THE REPEAT CIRCLES GEL PRESS: https://bit.ly/3McaBp5

My 2nd pick is the 6" SQUARE Gel Press. I take this one with me when I travel because it's large enough for my art journal and small enough to fit in my art backpack. I love using stencils with it and creating large tiles for decoupage or prints to fill my art journal!

For my third pick, it was the 6" ROUND GEL PRESS! In my personal opinion, using this for photo transfers makes them even more special! Even a boring transfer can look wonderful when it's printed in a circle format.  LINK TO THE 6" ROUND:  https://bit.ly/4czO0h5

The 4th pick was the smaller 4" ROUND GEL PRESS.  So darn cute and just a blast to use to make colorful circles on anything and everything.  Heck, make your own wrapping paper with this one! I like layering colors and creating fun, modern art pieces with this little number!

My fifth and final pick is the 3" x 5" GEL PRESS.   Grab a stack of index cards and go crazy making pretty little postcards and notecards to send to your friends. Working small can be fun, quick and much easier than working on larger surfaces. I always suggest this one to my friends who want to dabble but just aren't sure if they'll love it.  Guess what, they always grab a bigger size after a few days!

For years I've been hitting the dollar store for inexpensive frames to makeover.  When I lived in my tiny East Village apartment in NYC I covered the walls (salon style) with TONS of small 99c store frames filled with postcards and art that I bought on the street. I would paint the frames in different colors, add beads and cardboard to them and find fun papers for the matting. I loved my "broke art student" decor...and still do!  These malachite frames are currently part of my decor and I got all the frames at the 99c store.  A little hot glue and paint and you have something amazing!  Now get out there and MAKE YOUR MARK!


Watch how to make them here!
