- Welcome! In this video I'm talking about Gemini Midi. I also share some tips and tricks for using this machine .
The self healing cutting mat works really well and no warping so far and the cuts are beautiful and in one pass I get really nice embossing with my dies as well 👍 👍
Enjoy!

Thank you for this tip, I’ve only had my Gemini midi two days and the folder is broken and bent, but I will try this tip so Thank you ❤ xxx
Hope it worked for you like did for me :)
I was wondering if anyone had tried this & came across your video. Thanks for posting it. I wonder if it would be the same for the mini. Were you aware that CC sell the replacement folders? However it can get costly after a while.
Great video. Thank you for tip on using westcott cutting mat as alternative plate system for Midi. I bought because I could not figure how to run cc embossing folders through empress. I use mostly Anna Griffin products so I was disappointed in quality of the cc midi folders. I'm reading all the bad reviews on midi after the fact. This video gives me hope it wasn't a wasteful purchase.
Sure! Glad it was helpful :)

yay thanks for the plate idea for the midi this is awesome
Glad it was helpful :)
Thank you so much for this video! I like my gym and I midi but I cannot find the folders anywhere. With your wonderful tips, I will be able to get something to use in place of the folders. Did I mention thank you so much for the video?!
Thanks for your nice comment. Glad it was helpful :)
Wow! Thank you!
You're welcome! Glad it’s helpful:)
Great video! You answered and demonstrated all of my questions, THANK YOU💌 I do have one important question...What were the scissors that you used to cut that mat??? Are they metal snips? I was thinking my Tim Holtz large ones may be up for the job but I don't want to ruin them....
Glad it was helpful Dianna! The scissors I've used are from Fiskars that I purchased from joann or Michaels couple of years ago...I was able to find them on Amazon, following is the link to that:
www.amazon.com/Fiskars-Titanium-Nitride-Shop-12-79266984/dp/B000SL44G2/ref=sr_1_5?crid=28Z670CR9QK8S&dchild=1&keywords=fiskars%2Bheavy%2Bduty%2Bscissors&qid=1627935867&sprefix=fiskars%2Bheavy%2B%2Caps%2C321&sr=8-5&th=1
Hope that helps, but I think any big and sharp scissors would work as I cut some before with regular scissors but it needs a little bit more muscle work for sure :)
Thank you for the Amazon link to scissors you used for cutting mat. Bought mat and scissors.
@@cbeatriz7315 You're welcome! :)
Hi, great video, just found it. Did you ever try one side as self healing mat and one side of the plastic folder. I have just got a midi and it seems a lot harder to use than my mini and my bigshot. If I felt that same pressure with my mini or my bigshot, I would stop incase I broke something. I feel the folder for the midi is really thick and my card is getting warped.
I haven’t tried that but it probably works. If you are in US. I recently bought self healing cutting mat from craft section of Dollar tree and that works for me as well. And I agree the midi folders seems thick and can warped papers :)
Have you kept using the self healing mats since this video of have you tried something else that works better for you?
I do. Didn’t get the chance to try so many new things recently but I like the self healing mat because I get the embossing at the same time with one pass 😊
@@PiscesElegance excellent. Thanks!
I use a little low tack tape and tape around side of my folder to keep it closed so dies don't fall out.
That’s a good tip, thank you Shelly! 💐
Wow thanks enjoyed video.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Great idea,
Thank you!
Wanted to see just embossing with no cutting
For regular embossing folder, you just need to use the purple plate with your folder :)
great video. thanks for all the great tips : )
Thank you! Glad it was helpful!
How do you cut the green mat into
I did it with heavy duty scissors. It can be cut with cutter or even regular long scissors but it would be a little harder :)
You cant replace I've asked over and over and crafters companion Midi has no replacement mat and folder????? Its very maddening, as the machine sets and cant be used... aso thankyou for this idea...
Glad it’s helpful:)
I would like to know the price please...
If you mean price for Gemini Midi, I got mine thru HSN, afew month ago when it was included with Crafter's Companion A year of craft TS. Hsn has it on the website for $89.95 right now. Following is the link to that:www.hsn.com/products/crafters-companion-gemini-midi-manual-die-machine/20063805
Hope that helps :)
You flip the folder every time you use it it won't bow
Thanks for recommending that. I’ve done that before but it doesn’t work for me, my folder separated from the hinge after afew times of doing that. I might try it again to see how it goes as my midi got older and has less pressure :)
your to much explanation i am bored
Thanks for your comment:)
