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.

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???
@NancyStamps5 жыл бұрын
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.

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.
