🤩 I have been using my cuttlebug mat for embossing with the Gemini since I got it 😂 when AG came out with the Empress, I bought the big mat. It's perfect every time! The flimsy one that CC gave us cut clean through with the correct sandwich. My machine just has so much pressure. Luckily I have a BigKick for my Sizzix 3D impression folders. My Gemini shoots them out of every sandwich I've tried. It doesn't reject them, they just slip out the front and the plate & shim go through the machine 😂🤣

I did the metal shim alone to use embossing folders (other than hers) with the AG Empress ...just like that, and the metal shim curled so badly, it popped the front flap thing off from the front of the Anna Griffin Emress! I used the Anna Griffin embossing folder like they said to for the Gemini II, but had to use the magnetic mat to get the full impression. I am loving it so far. Now I will try the dies. Thank you for the tips! I do not want to ruin the magnetic mat.

Hello! 🤗 I hope it helps! Those Sizzix ones were a pain to figure out . The AG, easy once you have the correct mat. I do prefer the easiness of putting my regular 3D folders thru, with just the plate,folder, magnetic and plastic shim I have always gotten such great results. 🙂 Pop me a comment if you have any difficulties at all. 👍💕

Hello Pam! 🤗 You can try doing a spritx of water (both sides) or wipe both sides with a baby wipe and then run it thru. It does work, I am just too lazy to bother most times 😂 Also, make the paper just slightly smaller than the folder. Maybe one of those ideas will help. I love embossing folders, make such pretty backgrounds. 😍

Try it according to the instructions first. The Gemini folders (3D) work great without the magnetic mat, however, my one and only Anna G 3D folder needed the magnetic mat. It was lovely! The mats and plastic plates are going to warp and mark up. That is life. But on other machines, rotating them helps them last. I have to read the GemII instructions yet about that. I saw the video about fixing the plastic plates with boiling water. I hope that works on my BIG kick sheets! They are so bad because i wasn't paying attention. Anna used a steamer thing on her magnetic mat that fixed it! I will try wet towels. Those gizmos are pricey.

I almost bought the Gemini II but I have two Empress machines (one I got a really good deal), the midi, 2 mini's +AG mini and a Cuttlebug. I think I am going to wait a bit until CC offers a good deal so I can get the points.

Hello Jean! 🤗 You know there will be a good deal at launch and an even better one probably later this yr. Either CTV anniversary or CC anniversary. But do you really NEED one? Or just want one? Like me 😁 No such thing as too many machines or too much paper. The problem is a shortage of space 😂

Hi Stevie! That is what works for MOSt 3d embossing folders, but the Sizzix 3D ones are extra thick. The combo you mention is what I use for CC ,spellbinders... However, if somehow you can use your Gemini and a Sizzix 3D embossing folder with a different combo, that is terrific. 👍🙂

@4holidaysdesigns
@4holidaysdesigns 2 ай бұрын
Hi Emma! 🤗 You may want to try to switch up the layers a bit? Maybe use extra card stock instead of the metal? Also, I have seen people lay the metal shims under heavy books, curring machines...to get them to flatten out. Mine is only a little warped so I just keep using it as is. My sandwich of.plates may look silly but as long as it keeps working...👍😅💕

Can you get the metal to make your own metal shims at a hardware store. They have various thicknesses.
