I absolutely love my Gemini electric, But as for a mini Dawn, I have a sapphire mini manual and omg I couldn’t be without it. One broke a few years ago and I managed to get one on eBay! Those little manuals are absolutely worth their weight in gold. Mine stays on my desk, although it’s buried atm LOL it’s very surprising how many times I’ve grabbed the mini rather than a big machine. Especially for sentiments or small flower dies. Thank you for the idea of cutting an embossing folder down. I have a few I would like to try this with. Thank you for the top tips!

Hi Dawn how strange! I ordered the same stamping platform as yours at the weekend and it arrived yesterday from Craftstash. When on Monday I saw an old video that you had already reviewed it, I realised that it looks really easy to use.

@@IrenaJacquelin thank you Irena. I’m so glad that you like it. That stamping platform is brilliant as it has 4 magnets where most just have two. Just make sure you are working on a flat worktop and if you are using a new stamp for the first time, wipe it over with your fingers or an eraser, to remove the manufacturers coating. You only need to do this once. Also make sure that you hold the stamp down on the card for a few seconds to allow the ink to transfer. I hope these tips help you to improve your stamping and get better results. 🧡
