Gelli Printing has been a craft I enjoy, and when I embarked on my journey with Gelli Printing, I eagerly explored using stencils to create captivating monoprint backgrounds. Many of the versatile designs I created are readily available in the Silhouette Design Store. These printable backgrounds serve a multitude of purposes, from card making and scrapbooking to art journaling and beyond. The best part? You can easily create your own backgrounds using the stencils I offer in the Silhouette Design Store.
As a designer, I need to ensure my designs don’t breach copyright so I can’t use purchased stencils. However, this obstacle presented an exciting opportunity. I decided to delve into the world of cutting acetate on my Silhouette Cameo. Acetate can be tough on blades, but I purchased a premium blade for longevity and began designing and cutting stencils so I could not only provide them for my customers, but the printable backgrounds as well. And here’s the bonus—these stencil designs also double as fantastic card bases and background elements for your creative projects.
As you can see, my stencils are very well loved! Read on to see the stencils and card bases/backgrounds that I have available. And they aren’t just restricted to cardmaking, you can use them for scrapbooking and mixed media as well!
Following are the stencils and card bases/backgrounds I have available in the Silhouette Design Store. Click on the images to go direct to the design in store. All the stencils are resizable to suit your needs. We’ll start with the square format designs.
And the rectangular shaped designs…click on the previews to go to the design in the Silhouette Design Store!
I just love how versatile these designs are. You can use them to stencil a pattern while Gelli Printing or doing Mixed Media and use that as a card base or scrapbook background and then cut one of these designs from cardstock to use as an accent on the card base or scrapbook background. I haven’t tried that yet but I definitely need to give it a go as I think it would look fabulous! I would love to see what you create with these designs. Tag me on instagram if you share your creations!
