I didn't try the CC one, but have tried to foil with deco foil and glue and all of that🙄 but by far love my glimmer! I also have tried foiling with dies and I am head over heels in love with this machine💜

Someone on another channel confirmed that the Gemini foilpress is being discontinued! Just sharing the info…thanks for your videos…always look forward to them.

Once again, I will live vicariously through you!! Results were stunning & you sounded so excited!! TYFS! 🌺

Beautiful results! I was never interested in getting one of these…but now I’m having second thoughts! Lol! Thanks for sharing!

Congratulations ! I'm so happy for you and Thank you for sharing with us,and Wow ! I love it when a product works ...Thank you again and Have a Beautiful Blessed Day!

So glad to see this. I’ve been torn about getting a glimmer system and knew I didn’t want a CC. This looks like a total win!

my daughter gave me one for Christmas - love it

Oh my gosh! That was so effortless! I have the AG foil machine and I NEVER use it, I've never had good results, so I gave up and it's now an expensive dust collector 😬

So glad you are happy. I have the 1st generation Glimmer and I’m satisfied with it. I purchased the pickup tool later. 😃

I have one and I absolutely love it! Thank you for a great video!

Hi Vianney, I so happy it worked for you, thanks for sharing. 😍

I like that I can use this one with my Bigkick. I've been waiting to get one. Those turned out beautiful!

Love all your videos! Thanks for all the tips!

Congrats. I'm actually happy to see this. I have been thinking about getting the glimmer system. And for some reason I keep holding off on it.

I just got this exact machine and bundle that came with it. It has been sitting there over a week waiting to be played with. I hope I can get good results like you did. I will have to start collecting foil and plates.

OMGosh! Gorgeous! You are going to have so much fun with this, congratulations! 🤩

I wasn't sure if I wanted to invest in one & not use it much. But, after seeing the results you got from the Spellbinders machine, I just may acquire one. I love foil on projects. Especially if you can use our regular dies with it. Be well, be safe & TYFS

I have both the glimmer and the Gemini version and find I use my glimmer most of the time. I also suggest not to put the plates on the platform until you are ready to run it through the platinum. Those plates can shift when taking the platform out and can mess up the glimmering. Speaking from experience

I have the first iteration of the Glimmer Foil System from Spellbinders, and it’s very comparable to what you just received. It had the pick up tool just like yours. I love the machine, and glad I got it over the CC one. I hope you enjoy it.

I hope you do get it out. It takes practice, trial runs...but once you have the timing down, it works well. This machine takes a lot of the guess work out, which is really great!!

The foil looks awesome. I have the CC Foilpress and its a hit and miss especially with other dies that are not CC dies. I may have to spring for a new machine but can't do it now. Saving for vacation! Thanks for the review!

Yeah!

OK.....Mrs. V! You did it again! I have the other foil machines and lots of cutting machines....but I purchased the Spellbinders die cut machine and and foil press! I'm starting to not like you! 😉 oh and yes, I made my rounds through the Spellbinders sale! Lol You inspire me and make me laugh!

Hi,Vianney. I have CC and hated ,it is leaving foil spots all over card stock all the time,it is hard to do clean,nice foil press on the card. So far it is best result I have seeing ,will think about to switch for Spellbinders system ,doesn’t look to complicating to do it, thank you.

What kind of dies do you have to use.? Thank you so much

Can I use my other thin metal dies on this? I seem to not be able to find much info. on the subject..

On no-ooooh, Vianney. You are a bad influence. LOL!!! I haven’t done much foiling as the previous machine and other foil tools haven’t worked well for me. Too much guessing, taping, random foil gets on cardstock, etc, etc. Now I need to have this, which of course means I need the die cutting machine to go with it. I do have a very, very old Big Shot, probably their first creation, I wonder if it will work in that old ugly thing….it would look so much better in the beautiful blue Spellbinders machine. What to do, what to do??? TYFS!

Vianney! Love that you got the glimmer! So enjoy your videos. For once you are not influencing me, as I already have the Glimmer. LOL! Actually I have both systems, but I have the best results with the Glimmer, even when I use CC foil plates.

I am having the same experience!! Thanks for sharing your feedback!

Question - if you foil once and then forget to foil the sentiment - could you add the sentiment to foil - or would that mess up the existing foiling art ? Great demo BTW - less the autofocus 😂. Technology can be a little too smart for me ! LOL

FWIW, I have both (don’t judge, 😆). The Gemini works best with as good or better results for me when using CC papercraft foil, the foil press and the Gemini jr. The Gemini is almost a closed system. Obviously you can use other foil stamps but other foil brands require higher heat. Which isn’t optimal for the FP plate. You can do it but need to monitor the plate for warping. The reason is the CC foil is set to work a at a lower temp, and using the FP at a higher heat warps the plate. The glimmer, glimmer foil and platinum combo have excellent results. And Spellbinders has many more foil color options. And the glimmer hot foil plate can be used in other machines but not the Gemini.

Hello. I just happened upon your video. I am having the hardest time inserting the platform into the base. In your video you mention as you push it in you also pull it all the way back. What does that mean exactly? I'm afraid to break this thing. It is brand new.
