Anyone have a preference or a great YouTube review/comparison between the two?
If you have one of these two, anything you dislike? I've read you can use the foil plates/stamps or your regular dies. Any issues with regular dies?
I have both the Gemini Jr and the Spellbinders Platinum 6 and was thinking of getting one of the hot foiling machines.
Thanks!

I don't think you can go wrong with either of them.
I have the Gemini one. I am very happy with it. The majority of the videos I watch are for the Spellbinders' one and it's pretty much the same thing, as far as I can tell. All of the foil plate brands I've used - Spellbinders, PinkFresh, The Greetery - have worked beautifully in the Gemini machine.

You might want to check out Nancy Stamps on You tube. She has lots of videos using both systems.

I have the glimmer system, because I didn't want to buy a new die cutting machine as well. Love it. I have foiled with regular dies and it worked just as well as using the actual foil plates. One thing I was really glad I purchased was black foil. Spellbinders has a bunch of plates with small sentiments that look really good foiled in black on gold metallic card. Trying to stamp on that cardstock smears like crazy. |

I do have some small Spellbinders sentiments, but I don’t think I have any black foil. Is there a brand you’d recommend? |

#restless spirit I have some from Spellbinders, and some from a Facebook seller, Bluebonnet Foil rgv. Bluebonnet's foils are very reasonable, shipping charges are reasonable and she ships wicked fast.
