EMBOSSING WITH CRAFTER'S COMPANION™ DIES
Recommended Combination: Clear Cutting Plate on the bottom, then the Plastic
Shim, Die, Material to be embossed, Rubber Embossing Mat, and
Clear Cutting Plate on top.
• Start with the Clear Cutting Plate on the bottom.
• Place the Plastic Shim on top of it.
• Position the cutting die, blade side up, with the smooth side facing the Plastic
Shim.
• Place your Material on top of the die. Important: If you have just cut the

Magnetic Shim and/or the Metal Cutting Plate, and continue as follows with
your die in place:
• Place the Rubber Embossing Mat on top of the Material.
• Place the Clear Cutting Plate on top of the Rubber Embossing Mat.
• Align the platform combination and feed it into the Gemini™.
• Release your hold on the platform combination once the motor begins to pull it
into the machine.
EMBOSSING WITH 2D FOLDERS
Recommended Combination: Clear Cutting Plate on the bottom, then the Embossing
Folder with the Material inside, and Clear Cutting Plate on top.
• Place the Material to be embossed inside the embossing folder.
• Place the embossing folder between the Clear plates.
• Align the platform combination and feed it into the Gemini™.
• Release your hold on the platform combination once the motor begins to pull it
into the machine.
NOTE: If you are embossing very thin material (such as vellum or acetate), you can
decrease the pressure by placing a piece of thin copy paper inside the embossing folder.
