According to the program guide it looks like May 13th.

Thank you boodlemum! I really appreciate the information!

Does anyone know if the “Club” that comes with the TS requires a Facebook account?

Very cute cartoon jollyjelly! I think we can all relate to that! 🙂

I received mine this week – hopefully you did too!

Crafters Companion has tons of videos on YouTube. Search YouTube for Crafters Companion Create a Card and I expect you will find a ton of instruction/inspiration.

I didn’t know anything about the Mug Press. I just searched for Mug Press on the main HSN page and it shows Coming March 11th… It has a button to add it to your calendar but I don’t see it on the Programs page. Interesting… Maybe it is available on the website tomorrow?

I agree! Thank you HSN for $5.00 shipping on our entire purchases for Craft Day!!! I was able to purchase more thanks to the reduced shipping! 🙂

Thank you for the information Krissy!

Hi DonnaCos, Thank you for replying and supporting my frustration! I agree with your points too! I get caught up in “exclusive” / “not available anywhere else” type of stuff. I guess this is just marketing, and clearly it works! LOL
I’m not on FB so wasn’t aware that others were having issues. Thanks for sharing that!
Honestly I like the product and greatly appreciate the education CC provides! I just don’t care for the sales pitch… I guess I need to work on not being drawn into it. 🙂

Have a Great Day!

Hi biglkp, I’m sorry if I swayed you from making a purchase. I was really venting my frustration. I appreciate your support!

I can hardly imagine working with 12 x 18 plates! Imagine what I could put on those! LOL Maybe CC will start making the Gemini and Gemini Jr. plates with the stronger material used on the Pro.

Yes – I’m sure someone is designing that next “must have” item as we type. 🙂

Hi Jaditelady173,
Thank you very much for your 2 cents and the detail you provided about using different machines. It sounds like you have most of them and thus a great deal of experience! I appreciate you sharing that! I do love my Gemini machines very much! The only reason I had considered getting the AG Empress is because I thought it might work better with her dies. After reading the responses to my question I realize I just need to tinker with my sandwich to use the AG dies in my Gemini machine. I have been rotating both plates. From your response I can see where only rotating 1 plate that you cut into would save the 2nd plate. I’ll try that too. You make a very good point that buying new plates is much less $$ than buying a new machine.
Thank you!

Hi Cynthialbbw,
Thank you so much for the information you provided about using different die cutting machines. I too cut my Gemini embossing mat with AG dies. When I first got the Gemini I did not realize AG dies were thicker than other brands. I appreciate you taking the time to share your opinion/experience! You make a very good point about spending money on a machine that does something different rather than a different brand that does the same thing.
Thank you!
Lin M.
