Thank you Nancy , all your hard work saves me time, foil and patience . I’m very very appreciative . You also give me encouragement to get my foil machine back out as it very nearly went through the window when i tried it . Thank you again and I have subscribed so that I can get some more very useful help

I might be totally wrong because I don’t foil, however I still use my Big Shot for my die cutting AND embossing. What I learned with my embossing, especially with a Darice folder, was to use a smaller paper shim folded in thirds, that puts the pressure in the middle of the sandwich. Maybe more pressure in the middle is the ticket. I find your videos entertaining and informative! Thx! 😊

Foiling your embossing folders besides thinking outside the box also expands the use the folders. Who knew! Obviously you did Nancy😊👏👏👏

I just saw a video on embossing folders using the Glimmer and it just popped up in my feed, Pia Krogh Larsen. She used a lot of pressure using a candle holder and all kinds of jazz, but she got a really good result. I couldn't remember if you tried this, and of course you did. I don't know if you saw any of her stuff, I have never heard of her but it was interesting.

Try cutting your foil to the size of your cardstock and you will have much less over foiling. Trimming the corners some also helps.

With the embossing folder, on my Gopress I leave it longer to heat up but don’t put too much shim in order to only have the raised parts of the embossing folder to be foiled. Now I only work with Couture créations foils.

Anne-Marie Gaglio Absolutely. I sold my Glimmer Press after getting the Go Press n Foil. I like Couture Creations foils better too..and now that I’ve bought their Go Power & Emboss electronic die cutter I’m foiling practically everything...even from Stamps.

@anne-mariegaglio1461 4 жыл бұрын

Annette Po I am happy to learn that it is possible to foil without too much issues with it and even better with their electric cutting machine. But it is a company difficult to find in my country. My Gopress is a US one so had to buy a power transformer. I still have to guess sometimes on my shims.

@Kammitoes 4 жыл бұрын

Anne-Marie Gaglio that’s a shame because they make really good quality products. Perhaps you could start asking your local craft stores to begin stocking the products. I know how frustrating that is. I’m from Australia and we have the same problem with some products.

I wonder what would happen if you heat your entire sandwich (including the foil and paper to be foiled) at the same time and run the sandwich through the Big Kick without opening it. Also what happens if you change your sandwich to heat platform, paper, foil, embossing folder, shims, and pad? I have a Go, Press & Foil machine and these sandwich variations work well for me. I also use a metal shim, paper, foil, 3- layered(& glued) die cut shape, Spellbinders embossing rubber pad, flip the lid down, then heat the sandwich before running it through my Big Shot. (Because my Big Shot is fairly new sometimes I don't need any paper shims, sometimes I use one or two.)

@lindapullan6937 2 жыл бұрын

One tip I seen from other crafters is the paper you use to foil makes all the difference. For example using the reverse of photo paper works well. Many thanks for the tip about the Go Press and Foil works best with a Gemini Jnr as I was thinking of buying one but have the big Gemini.

Very pretty! Hmmm. Looks like the die cut machine is pressing hard on the outside edges. Maybe cut/limit the number of shims down to 2 on outside and/or to just the middle

@NancyStamps 4 жыл бұрын

@karenpage946 4 жыл бұрын

@@NancyStamps I thought the same thing. You kept tinkering with the foil and the heat and paper shims, but it seems your rollers are worn in the middle, which makes sense since that is where we tend to place dies for cutting. The edges have more pressure because they haven't been worn down as much. If you had another machine to try it in... a friend's perhaps, especially a newer machine, I think it would work right without even swimming. Love this idea, and *so* appreciate your tests and trials! I'm waiting for you to test all the machines and all the foils so I can get the one with less fussing! LOL Though, every individual die cut machine adds some variation, and I have an eBosser so I'm not likely to find a video of anyone trying foiling with it! Love my little eBosser though... small footprint but it can take 8.5 x 11" paper. I have a couple dozen letter size embossing folders, plus I love that I can run a bunch of dies with one pass. I'll stay tuned for more experiments in the meantime!

I received the Gemini Foil Press as a Christmas present. I do not have the Gemini Jr but I do have the bigger Gemini. I did have to order the extender plate. I have had nothing but trouble with it. Its gotten stuck in the machine twice, I mean really stuck. And I followed the sandwich that was shown on a youtube video. The only difference was I switched the two plates around (small plate to extender plate). I still can't get it to be right. I won't buy a Gemini Jr, I have so much stuff now. Do you prefer the Spellbinders? Seems like it does a little more. Thoughts anyone?

Embossing folders will wor for embossing, but not with the FoilPress. CC will void your warranty if you try to use an embossing folders with the FoilPress.
