No mate, 11 months too early

Crafters have to be very organised to get all of our gift makes in. This just seems like sensible time management to me!

Coming from all, cool cards, what machine did you use?

Thanks!

The machine is Gemini Midi and the cutting die is from Sizzix

Awwww cute! Are those foiled trees and stars on the backing paper?

I just asked as I run machines like this Heidelberg cylinder for die cutting -

and this Saroglia hot foil press for foiling -

So I'm always curious what other machines people run, I've never seen such a cute little machine like that Gemini though. Do you just hand crank it and it draws the paper through whilst rotating a die in the top section?

Oh wow, the machines are quite a bit larger!

Yes, you just put your embossing folder with the paper and die in and just hand crank a bit. It's quite fast and small but there are all kinds of crafting die cutters, also electrical ones

The background paper with the stars and trees are foiled, but that's just a set of papers that I bought at my local crafting store

Nice, my next question was gonna be if you foiled them yourself and how xD

Keep up the good work, I like it :D
