Gelli Print Business Cards

Love making gelli prints? Thinking about selling your art? Strapped for cash? No time to order some more business cards?

Then why not make some of your own gelli print business cards.

I use cardstock for my business cards....

1. Use a word document program for the words on the back.

Tips - Do a practice test on normal photocopying paper to make sure your spacing is correct.  Insert your cardstock into your printer so it prints out straight. 

2.  Make a great print.

Tips - try to cover all of your paper with paint so there is no wastage.

Here's the one I used for demo purposes:

 You may wish to varnish them at this stage too or wait until you have cut your cards if you wish to add any further decoration/paint.

3. Cut out your cards:

Tips - use another business cards to get the right size, use a paper cutter or craft knife and steel ruler to cut your cards straight.  I had a round corner trimmer that I used to make my corners round.

4.  Hand out your business cards:

Tips - if you have a booth or a market stall then offer people a selection of cards to choose from, to interested people I say "Pick a card, any card, every card's a winner!"  or "Would like a little piece of my art to take home with you?"

There you go...Hope you are having fun making your gelli prints.  Here are some more of my blogs about my gelli art.
