The Gemini die cutting machine has relatively larger platforms than the Sizzix Vagabond 2, this makes Gemini a better choice for crafters who do a lot of die cutting and embossing at once. This machine uses higher pressure than many other die-cutting and embossing machines allowing better cutting of elaborate designs. The machine also enables edge-to-edge cutting of A4 and also US letter sized materials.Crafter's Companion Gemini II Die Cutting and Embossing Machine is a cut above! Cut, emboss and more with greater power, precision and performance. We use technical safeguards, such as firewalls and data encryption, and access to your data is only given to employees who need it to carry out their job responsibilities. The larger size of the Gemini Pro offers enhanced die cutting and embossing capabilities, as you can cut all elements for a smaller project in one go! Its size and weight means the machine is less portable than some of the more compact models, so is ideal for crafters with a dedicated crafting space. Cricuts are run through a bespoke piece of software called the Cricut Design Space. Available for PC, Mac, iOS and Android, this software enables you to put together your designs and interact with your machine. Here, you can tell it what to cut, draw, score and more. It also includes a library of pre-made projects and designs that you can immediately send to your machine.

Traditional die cutters are much simpler and easier to use and don’t need to be connected to a computer or any software. Most classic die cutters don’t even require a power source and use a manual hand crank to perform cuts. The ones that do require power feed materials through automatically. What is the Cricut Design Space? The software itself is free, and you don’t need a Cricut to use it, meaning you can play around with Design Space to see how it works before you commit to buying anything. A good selection of free-to-use shapes, fonts and images is included, but for a monthly fee you can sign up to Cricut Access, which gives you access to its library of thousands of additional designs. Alternatively, you can pay per item as you go. Are die cutters and digital cutting machines easy to use? Whether this is your die-cutting debut or your crafting is already a cut above, you’ll be amazed at what you can achieve with your friends at the Gemini Club.
