Thank you Dear Nancy ❤
Thank you so much for this video. I have tried your sandwich on my Gemini FoilPress and it works a treat. i'm loving it. Woohoo!!!
I had given up using my Foil Press but thought I would have another go but couldn't understand how to use the waste. Thank you very much for your very informative "talk". I have also learned how to foil my ordinary dies, again thank you very much. You were very clear and I understood everything that you showed us. ****
Great tutorial. All my stuff is coming on Thursday and Friday. I feel like a little kid waiting for Santa. Thanks for figuring everything out for us.
Thank you so much for this video!!! Excellent information! I wasted so much foil and time trying to watch Sara and try this! You make it so easy!!
Brilliant demos, just bought a gemini foil press, been trying to foil the waste without success, now I know what I was doing wrong, written down the tips, now off to put them to use many thanks, Linda
Linda I just did a newer video on waste.
Thank you so very much! I was so bummed that I couldn't use a foil system as I can no longer use my manual die cutting machine. Plus I gave it away.
Then I found your videos. I wouldn't have bought my geminis nor this without you. Now, I just need the adapter for my big gemini as it's sold out. I use that on my desk. My Jr is for camping and my weekends away. 😉 Thanks again for all of your helpful videos. I truly appreciate them.
thank you Jenny! I appreciate your comments and if you have any questions, please let me know.
Hi Nancy I had a wonderful wow surprise come in the post yesterday 30.11.2018 my wonderful wonderful son gave me an early Christmas present yes u have guest it a Gemini hot foiling press a total surprise 🤗 how lucky am I to have a wonderful wonderful lovely son VERY LUCKY 💝 ....so I am even more interested in watching your video tutorial you post on u tube as u explain very well 👍please keep up the good work x Lin in South Wales uk
This was great, Nancy. The Foil Press has done a wonderful transfer job....thank you for sharing this with all of us. Cheers from Arizona.
WOW!!! This is awesome! I’ve avoided getting a foiling machine...but now if I can foil die cuts then this is a great reason to get the GEMINI FOIL PRESS! Thanks Nancy!
Thank you for sharing your tutorials I am learning with you as I just got my foil press this week too....... I like that you are showing us how it really works step by steps and how persistent you are until you get it right .... thank you and following you
Hi Nancy, thank you so much for your demonstration of how to foil die cut. I have been playing around with my new toy and the possibilities are endless. I also have the Gopress but prefer the Gemini foil press. I purchased the large rolls of core foils from Create and Craft and they work perfect on this machine 🥰 happy crafter from the UK
Very helpful!!! Kept rewinding & practicing each step as you talked! I wrote down the sandwich configuration in the notes section of my manual! That die cut is so beautiful that I just had to order it & make some for my cards! Thank you for sharing! I am no longer intimidated while trying to foil die cuts & foil waste! I love the way this looks! Great addition to oxides, tinted pearl powders & heat embossing! 🤗😍
Very helpful... I recently purchased the Gemini Foil Press so your tutorials are so helpful...TFS 🥰🥰🥰🥰
THIS WAS SOOOO HELPFUL!!!! THANK YOU!! I bought my machine when it first came out last year but had not used it. Now upon opening I couldn't remember how to do these steps for the negative (scraps) and the paper die cuts. This literally opens up a whole new world. Thank you again. I have subscribed and look forward to your videos.
So glad you are figuring all this stuff for us.
FABULOUS tutorial. I live in Devon UK and waiting for my Gemini hot foil machine which should arrive any day now from Crafters Companion. I have been viewing all your tutorials and I am so excited. Loads of hot foil dies to buy, but my birthday is coming up so keeping fingers crossed my family will be generous!!! Great to know you can use general dies too! Thank you for your very informative tutorials, I have saved them to my favourites and no doubt will be checking them out frequently to help me with sandwiches etc.
This has been very helpful. I played with the machine a long time and had a lot more success than failure, but I HATE failure.
A very helpful video. Thank you.
Just watching this and THIS IS AWESOME. Thank you so much Nancy! I appreciate the clear instructions.
Wow that die cut turned out beautiful! Thanks for showing us how to do it.😊
I got my machine ( Foil Press) last week and to day I am going to try it ,so excited!!!!!!!
Thank you so much...my foilpress will not do waste foiling. hopefully I can do it now with your tutorial
Wow!! Gorgeous results! Thank You so much for this tutorial! You are AWESOME!
Thank you for sharing. Please do more tutorials on foiling.
There are almost 200 videos: ruclips.net/p/PLJHNF45rWTP0giI4l0jXenu35Nmm8dC-j
I so do thank you for this video. Just got the machine and you answered so many questions. Appreciate your expertise.
Thank you for this tutorial ..... as I said before learning with you.... just subscribed to your channel and thank you again for sharing step by step how to use the negative and the die cuts
I absolutely loved it. i am going to order a Gemini Foil Press now.
Thank you Nancy for this very informative video!
Thanks for sharing and figuring it out. I got my machine 2dy and can't wait to play around with it along with your videos
Thank you for the awesome video! I just received my foil press and am so excited to use it for the first time! Thanks a ton for the enlightening information.
Nadine Wiley yes I have quite a few videos, feel free to ask if you have any questions.
Thank you! I just bought the foil press and haven't used it yet but can't wait to! You definitely answered my questions! 😊😊
Thank you so much! I'm so glad I found your RUclips channel!
Thanks so much for sharing this! I just got my Gemini foil press and have been trying to get a good foil using regular dies I already have.
Yes you are right it was very Informative and again Thank you for showing how you did it.
Another great tutorial. Can't wait for more.
Thank you so much!!! I can't wait until I get my!! I get it on Monday!!
Thank you so much! I have found your videos so helpful and encouraging.
I just got that beautiful tree, omg I cant wait to try it now, knowing that I can fold already cut die cuts. Is just amazing makes the Gemini foil press, even more worth buying. I did get it to. 😁😁
Thank you, this was extremely helpful!
Really starting to like this machine more and more. However, last month I bought an inexpensive laser printer from Amazon, just for the toner. Very well done once again Nanc. Hugz n Luv. Tyfs
Thank you. Foiling the waste and using the back side of some dies are great instructions. As for foiling a die cut, some people might ask - wouldn't it be easier to just cut the die with mirror card? I guess if you didn't have any or had already cut the die, it would be good know that you could still do it. Also, I guess it would be cheaper to have several colors of foil than several packs of different colored mirror card.
Love your videos we haven't got this foil machine out in UK yet but can't wait to buy it gets hugs xx
CC will launch it early Dec
Wowser. Thank you so much. I just got my machine and am just learning how to do it. Great tutorial. :)
No problem, if you have any questions just ask.
You are a star! Thank you for a great video xxx
Beautiful I hope I get one soon for foiling
Amazing. Thank you!

Thank you so much for such a great video. It was so informative.
Thanks for the help and info!
wow juat perfect thank you for sharing.
Thanks..
Very helpful ❤🎉
Gorgeous demo thanks
Thank you so very much for doing that I've been wondering the same thing.
Nancy....I have been following your instructions on the foil press, which are so so very easy to understand and thank you for explaining the sandwich...but my regular die keeps cutting thru my cardstock when I am just trying to foil....any ideas? I am using the large gemini and adapter plate...
Don't use the metal or hard plate under the die. Use the magnetic shim so it doesn't cut through
Absolutely amazing!!! Love it. So ordering this machine. I did just subscribe to your channel. Can’t wait for more videos
Hi Nancy, I ave just started to use a genini foulpress abd ws wonderimg what to do with the waste. Thanks to yor video I now know. I have subscribed and l will be watching and learning from you.r experience and experise.
Like you, I didn’t like the Gopress either, but LOVE my Gemini
WOW thanks
thank you so much that will help me
Brilliant
How do you use the negative/waste with words? I tried before with these steps but the words came out backwards.
Very helpful, thank you so much!
Happy happy happy
Thank u so much loved this video very easy instructions
Just watched this! So awesome!!❤️🙌🏻 I was wondering if you can also foil dies on the glimmer?
Yes
Thanks so much!!
I love your videos. I'm just learning now with my new machines. How do you foil that tree directly onto the paper without die cutting it first like what you showed on the white cardstock?
Great video, thank you
Have got to use hot foil to use it. As I have some foil and it is not for hot foiling so could you help me please as I have a lot of colours .
Yes, the hot foil brands are: Gemini FoilPress Paper craft foil, Spellbinders HotFoil, Couture Creations Go Press & Foil. Other foils will not work.
Thank you thank you
I feel the same about the Gopress & Foil. I’ve had mine too long to return it and only ever had 1 successful foiling. I’m not sure if it’s me or the machine!
Thank you so much for your videos on the Gemini Foil machine, I received it for Christmas today and have been watching you videos before I use it. I do have a question. When foiling your die cuts do you have to use the Crafter's Companion foil? Crafter's, says we have to use their foil, is that true???
Hi Gail, CC has been very strict with their rules, only use their dies in their machine and their foil. I have tried all dies and Hot foils and they work well except you have to turn the heat up to medium. ToDo foil, Spellbinders glimmer foil and couture creations foil all work. The only dies you don't want to use are the ToDo dies because they are too thick.
@@NancyStamps Thank you Nancy. You are so kind to share. I hope you and your daughter had a wonderful Christmas.
Question: How do you manage to foil the dies without also getting an imprint of the grid lines (from the foiling platform) creating a pattern? Thanks for all your useful help!
I’m presuming you can replace the magnetic shim with a different shim? I don’t have the small magnetic shim, only the large one which would be too big.
Yes, heavy cardstock shims
@@NancyStamps Thought so, thanks Nancy.
Thank you that has been of good use. What weight is the paper u use please
80 to 100lb
If you put the die cut side face down, does it not cut the foil plate? I got it cut the die then foil the cutout die
Regina M Dziak yes, never do face down with regular dies. Unless you have a metal plate under it.
Oops! I forgot to ask....Do you have the names of the Crafter's Companion dies and stamps that you used? I am particularly interested in the gorgeous Christmas tree die from this video and the stunning background foil stamp in the previous video. Thank you.
The tree is part of the winter wonderland collection.
I bought the hot foil by mistake so I bought the go press and foil but I can’t believe how much the foiling dies cost! I recently bought a mini Minc too. I’m on a fixed income and really couldn’t afford those machines but now I really can’t afford the dies. Is there any way to get some that are cheaper? Or even other ways to foil without dies!
Check for sales on Spellbinder and hsn. Hit foils from Bluebonnet on Facebook. The minc doesn't use dies.
I don't know if u will get this: re: 5 yr old vid on foilpress: I CANT find C.C foil plates anywhere. ID love the reg die xmas tree
They are rumored to be discontinued but you can find many from Spellbinders Glimmer, Hero Arts, Altenew, and other companies who sell Hot Foil plates now.
Very helpful! Thank you!
I just received my machine, OMG, I am so excited...but I afraid to start using it due to the learning curve, may not have enough time to get Christmas cards finished, what do you think?
Get going!! Plenty of time
Just got my Gemini Foilpress today , thank you for sharing your tutorials, they have been so helpful, Just wondering if I have done something wrong but..... I used a stamp and cut die, as I put it through the Gemini ( the big one) it did sound as though it was cracking, is this normal? I used the adaptor plate by the way
Use the thin metal shim that came with your Gemini so it doesn't cut into the adapter plate.
Very cool. TFS I just find this new items are getting to expensive I love Gemini Jr.
does anyone know if using this foil press with magnesium die cut/embossing plates? they are roughly the same thickness as the silver plastic Christmas tree plate the OP showed us in this video, but I work with metal, and can make any design on magnesium using an acid wash. any help would be much appreciated. would love to get one of these machines soon if it does use mag plates.
I wish I had waited for this machine. I have the Hot,Press and Foil machine and I hate it. This looks much more user friendly.
It would be cool to have a plan to use the 'waste' from foiling the die cut so that it isn't truly waste.
Do you have how to use the embossing folder on the gemini foilpress?
Not recommended. Will ruin your machine.
Almost did...got it stuck I n the junior, but working now...ty
Another quick question. Are there any videos using the Gemini foilPress as a traditional letterpress? So no foil, but getting that impression of letterpress. Maybe inking up a die cut and then letterpress it using the Gemini foilPress. Does that make sense? I wanna know the sandwich to do that. Or maybe you could try it and show us? I see Jennifer McGuire did it using the Platinum 6 die cut machine. I wanna do it using the Gemini.
you use the same sandwich and use a brayer to ink your die.
Do you like the Gemini foil machine better or the spellbinder gimmer foil press machine??
I haven't tried the Glimmer Foil Press machine, but I do like the Gemini Foil Press so far. To me, it is easier then the Couture Creations Go Press and Foil machine. It all depends on what kind of die cutting machine you own.
Anyone help me, I can't seem to find a good adhesive for my Crafter Companion Luxury cardstock. I've use Aleene's clear gel,Scotch Create glue,Zig memory sysrem glue,Tombow mono glue and they all slide off after drying.
Maymay made it art glitter glue
@@NancyStamps I love all your videos, Thank you so much!!!!!!!
Aha! Thank you. Can you tell me the weight of your notecard shim? Is it 80 or 110#?
The foil paper was 80 and the shim was 100lb folded I'm half
Anyone know where i can get foil does for this machine ?
HSN, Bluebonnet Foil-Rgv on Facebook, Spellbinders Glimmer foil
@@NancyStamps thank you 🙏🏼
