    Thank you for these really helpful tips. I especially appreciate the sticky tape idea to clean the 'confetti' out of the intricate dies! Brilliant! Also saves a whole lot of clearing up the debris from the floor, too!

    Very helpful info Jenny… I have just replaced all my plates/shims because I just bought a magic mat. I like your idea of taping only 3 sides and sliding plates/shims out as needed

    Thank you for the tip with the tape around your fingers to pull out those dies pieces!

    Thanks for the great tips. I love how you can add or remove plates as you need for different uses. FYI--Check out Jennifer McGuire's method for refreshing the plastic plates, eliminating any warping!

    Hi Jenny - a little info to share. The thin metal sheet is not a shim. It is actually a cutting surface - the cutting edge of the die faces the metal sheet and the cardstock goes in between.(this info us on the Gemini Jr instructions) Also I think people have so much trouble with warping because they make too much pressure with the sandwich. I only flip my top plate so if one side has a little give in the middle that plate side goes up. I just got in the habit of checking and my plates have not warped.

    Jenny, Do you find that the side of the embossed image is not embossed as well as the rest of the panel? How to avoid this? Thank you.

    How long does a plate last before the warping is too much for it? I find with this method (which I love) my plate is not lasting long. Maybe 2 months at the most.

    Thank you for the tips, especially taping the base sandwich. I just taped mine, had to open a new clear plate, so I'll see how this works. However, when you do tape it, you can no longer flip and rotate after every cut as recommended by Crafters Companion. I purchased my Gemini Jr at the HSN launch, and have followed their instructions... my plates still warp (but I use them almost daily). Did you find that flipping/rotating did not matter? Also, I just purchased the new plates for the double sided dies thinking maybe they'd work better in place of the clear plates. Have not opened them yet (and I do not own any of the double sided dies).. any suggestions on those plates? Thank you again.

      I do not have the new plates yet. And I did find that rotating the plates around helped at all. I found keeping one side of my sandwich in good shape, and using the one plate all over and rotating that, I got better results. I use my die cutting machine daily and found that these tips really help keep my sandwich straight and extend the life of the plates.

      You might not be able to flip it but you can top and tail it and it is not get cut into like the top plate is also place the die in a different position every time so you don’t just cut in the one spot like the middle I just bought my Gemini Junior and my well used plates from my Bigshot which have minimal warping I use one to replace my clear cut into plate I need to add a few paper shims but they work ok

    I learned so much from that video Jenny - I am almost due for a new plate so when I get it I will make a sandwich like you showed in the video!

    Do you know what causes my Gemini Jr plates to turn black? It soils my cardstock.
