Hi Nina. Thank you for this I have been using mine all wrong and have been fortunate not to have damaged my Big Shot, I was putting shims and a plastic plate on, once I also had the metal plate on which I managed to dent. I have been flower making today but tomorrow I think I will sit with the GoPress and learn all about it by watching all the lovely You Tube videos. I am now going to look for more of yours
I have this machine and works really great! I love it. You did a great job on using the Go Press and Foil machine. Thanks for showing a new way to do things.
I just brought the machine and have followed your instructions with the cardstock shims on top but I am not getting the foil imprint I think it’s because there is no pressure when going through my big shot machine can I use my metal shims instead of cardstock for the shims ?
Yes it fits in cuttlebug stamps edges are very sharp and can cut you it is a nice tool it does not work as well as advertised but it can be nice for some circumstances smaller stamps work better.
Great cards and info. On the tweezers, though, you clamp them together and place on top of hot foil stamp, magnetically pick it up, and then unclamp them to release the stamp. Not used in typical fashion that tweezers are used.
I have this machine ..you cannot use any brand of foil..only works with couture creations foil..I have a lot of Deco foil but this will not work..bummer i know
Hello, I bought the GoPress and Foil Machines 2 days ago. I want to know what you use à 3'50 (by Memory Box?) I hope you understand because I'm talking French. Have a nice day.

Hi, I've just foiled my stamp by mistake... is that going to ruin it cos I've just tried it again and it's not foiling the card very well now... sob :0(
If you close the tweezers and use the magnet to pick up metal dies then open the tweezers over the area you want to put them you need not touch a hot die.
Hello there! We have never tested the Big blue with this product but looking at the dimensions the letterpress machine should work with Tattered Lace's Big Blue Machine Hope this helps and have a wonderful day!

Thank you for showing the different techniques, had my machine about 10 months now, will get it out and give it a try
Cool techniques! I just bought one from Scrapbooking Made Simple and can hardly wait to get it and try it out with various different methods!
do you need special die cuts for the machine or can I use the ones I already have?? so beautiful all your work
Thanks for clarifying the question I had about which brand of foil to use. I'd still like to try this machine.
Great gift for Christmas! What a fun technique!
Great video and shows a few things I hadn't seen before with this machine. fab projects really well presented:)
Thank you for all the techniques!
Is there anyway to have a personalized template to use in the foil machine?
Thank you for informative video. I liked the dashes line edges to your cards. Is it a particular embossing folder? Many thanks,
If you are not using heat for the letterpress effect do you still need to use this machine or can you run it through your big shot?
Thank you for sharing so many lovely techniques.

Does this only work with the big shot. I have the large spellbinder and Geminis…will it worth with these?
hi , love the look of the foil effects on cards. Can you use normal dies with this foil machine?

I have this machine and would love to have a way to be able to look at where the die, paper and foil will make the design!
How do you know if you have got the stamp centred on the cardstock?
So happy it works with my cuttlebug I did not wanted to invest in a machine that has being discontinue
Great!
Can you put the card fronts from Simon says stamp that come for foil on card kits through the machine?
Thank you so much! Do you know where we can buy more hot foil stamps? There’s not that many available for purchase:(
These look great. I don’t see a link to the metal plates uses for the Christmas tree made of words or the thank you plate. Where can I find those?

Hi, what die cutting machine are you using.
Where do you get the metal shim?
Thank you so much. Judy
I have that machine but I find I can’t afford the plates! Soon after I bought, I ended up in the hospital so I haven’t used it.
Do you have to use special dies, or can you use any brand die?
Do you have to have special embossing folders and dies, or can you use any embossing folder and dies? Thanks
