As a beginner I found this so informative. Clearly Nala is happy and loves her new home by returning ❤

Hi Julie! Thank you for the review of the Gemini MIDI! I get confused at everything out there and this helped so much! Oh Miss Nala! Why is it cats have to give us heart attacks? When I moved to my house seven years ago, my Lydia kitty up & disappeared. I called & called for her & could hear her meowing, then, I couldn’t. I went outside to look for her (I have a little forested area behind me), looked over every inch of the house, I even called a company who could scan my walls to look for her in them (they took forever to return my call). After a week I decided she was just gone. About 10 days in I came down the hallway to find her crawling out from under the front space of my lower cabinets, where she had somehow managed to find an opening where it had not been closed off, just big enough for her to get in & out. With four cats in the house at the time it was impossible to tell that she was, in fact, eating & drinking & was quite fine. Needless to say I immediately blocked off the hole & didn’t speak to her for a week 😉

Oh my word, the cheeky little lady. So glad she turned up same and well Wendi. That made me laugh when you said you didn't speak to her for a week🤣😅😁🤗💜

Glad Nala turned up. Snow went missing one morning and I was a cop case, she normally doesn’t go outside until she has had her breakfast any way the day was cold with rain and snow ❄️, she hates the wet and 🥶 cold. Eventually she turned up at about 2 in the afternoon, wet and cold and ready for a feed and lots of cuddles, now she is like a shadow and follows me everywhere. Anyway love the craft you showed us today and the little machine you got so off to do some die cutting and pocket making. Too cold to venture out today. 🥶🙀👍😘

Hello Julie, thanks for your review on the Gemini midi. I don't have a die cut/embossing machine, was leaning toward this one. Glad your Nala's adventure came to a happy ending, even if Mama didn't have her food ready. She loves her new home and humans and knows she has it good. TFS

Hello Julie🌺 I am addicted to embossing folders, so many possibilities. Thanks for sharing your Gemini machine, I already have the big shot machines and really happy. Scary story about your cat, so glad she came back💜

Julie, thank you for sharing😊. Looks like I will be adding this to my list to purchase. I do get tired moving my big shot from desk to another. So happy Nala came back.

You're welcome Helen, glad it was useful love. I think I mentioned you can put the folders for the mini through the midi. They might be worth you getting some as they are much cheaper than the midi folders and I find I use them all the time now ☺️🤗💜

Just bought the MIDI, it is to be delivered today. This video has helped me know what to do. There were some negative reviews, mostly around the warping of the folders, but your video helped me get past those and give this a try. Can’t wait to get it!

You will love it ☺️ having had mine a while now I'd definitely recommend getting some of the small folders for smaller dies. Yes the big folders do warp, but unlike other plates they still give great results when warped and are far cheaper to replace. Also if you soak the warped ones in hot water then put them under something heavy, they straighten out quite a bit. Happy crafting love☺️🤗💜

I didn’t even know there was a midi version... good to know. You’ve inspired me to get my embossing folders out .. I hardly ever use them. Glad Nala returned safely! 😊💐💙

I think your precious crazy cat is very happy with her new family and you made me chuckle about her being unhappy with not having food in her dish.. so glad it's wasn't longer that she was gone. Julie, I truly understand about the big shot and with my arthritis I spent $200 dollars on the electric embossing machine but it still wasn't practical because I don't use it enough. So I did start using it much more. Thanks for sharing! Have a super fantastic evening. Sending love and big hugs Sherry

Hi Julie 😊 I had the Cuttlebug for years, but thought I just had to have the Big Shot Plus for my big dies and embossing folders.[ My Cuttlebug lives on with my niece (she loves it!)] I do love the Big Shot Plus, but oooof!!! it is a beast to use. It lives on my file cabinet across the room. It does a fantastic job, but I try to do a lot of die cutting at once so as to not haul it around getting Popeye arms 😉 After watching you with the Gemini Mini I have my eye on a Sizzix Sidekick... That is all the real estate I can eek out on my stuffed desk 😅 SOOOOOO glad Nala came home... Pretty cheeky of her to give you such a scare!! Blessings~~~

Hi , Julie! I hate dragging out my bigger die cut machine too. Will have to look at this for a future gift from my kids. I bought a mini paper trimmer for that same reason. It is so handy and convenient for all my smaller needs. Fyi… you shouldn’t your paper all the way to the edge of the embossing folder…leave a tiny gap. You wont get those bubbles.

thank you for doing this Julie - i have been interested in getting a die cutter - this has helped me - be well and have a great day!!! xx

Holding the sandwich together is ungainly for me as well, even with my Cuttlebug. It'd be gr8 to have both Geminis. So glad Nala came back after her little adventure. Bless you n yours. Lugs. 🌹💖🥰

I would never buy another Gemini machine. A few years ago, I bought the large electric machine. It broke, ruined, and warped every die and embossing folder I put through it. It's absolute junk. My contacts to the company rendered no help. My Sizzix Switch treats all my dies, etc., perfectly!
