In true Tim Holtz and Tonic Studios fashion, they teamed up to create an amazing product. The Stamp Platform is durable, high quality, easy to use, cleans up beautifully and allows you to stamp larger projects without damaging the paper. The magnets are super strong and kept my paper in place every time. The alignment guides and rulers took the guesswork out of the card making process. I was very impressed with how easy it was to switch between acrylic stamps and cling mounted rubber stamps. The hinge worked beautifully and stamped a clean impression every time, making repeat stamping a breeze. LOVE THIS PRODUCT! The perfect gift for friends that stamp.

True confession: I'm the worlds worst stamper! So when Tonic and Misti hit the scene, I was so excited about buying one of them. After researching both, I decided that Tim Holtz's platform was the perfect choice for me. I'm super impressed with Tim's no fuss dual purpose design (cards and layouts) and the quality of its construction is honestly a vintage throwback to the old rotary phones! The magnets are thick and strong. They don't pinch my fingers or seem prone to breakage. It's definitely not a 'me too' tool and I could go on and on about its thoughtful design, ease of use, superior quality and excellent value. I especially love that it's designed in a way that it doesn't require any consumables to remain useful. I also love the fact that I can use spray inks without worrying about clean-up or damaging the plastic plates. Even thought its sturdy and hefty, its light weight enough to easily stash in my card class tote or take on a crop. I'm amazed at how easy it is to create remarkably detailed images perfectly, layer after layer, color after color, press after press! The Stamp Platform by Tim Holtz has exceeded all of my expectations, put the fun back into stamping for me and its by far the most useful tool I've purchased in a long, long time! If you love stamping, this tool will not disappoint!

Having said that, I will also say that I am a Tim Holtz fan. While his distressed style doesn't appeal to me, many other things do. As I waited to see how the functional differences between MISTI and Tim's stamping platform shook out, I can see there are enough differences between the two tools that I'm thinking they probably settled the patent issue, possibly was a settlement and thus the Tonic platform was allowed to ship again. And I bought one. It is a heavy-duty tool, make no mistake - solid construction, hinges aren't plastic.... And it is bigger than my MISTI (I bought the first one) and yes, I can use the new platform do stamps right on 12x12 pages. I had no intention of buying a new MISTI to do that. As for stamp quality, the two tools are virtually the same EXCEPT that I do find the MISTI to be easier to use at this point and that could be just because I am so familiar with it.
In closing I will say that I will not be lugging the Tonic platform to crops when my light little MISTI does just fine!

Sturdy, well designed, with great attention to detail for the things that matter most to stampers.
-Sharp stamping
-Ease of cleaning
-Ability to be able to spray wet media without damaging any of the surfaces (I've only experimented with light mists just in case)
-Very intuitive
-Ability to stamp using rubber or clear stamps
-Strong magnets
-Well designed hinge mechanism
I have a clear stamp that has a lot of detail and it was hard to get a clean impression. After looking at the stamp closely, it appears to be thinner than regular clear stamps. Placing a couple of pieces of paper underneath did the trick. This appears to be an isolated case with this one particular stamp because the others in the set stamped fine.
I'm delighted with my purchase and it was well worth the wait!

Received this wonderful product yesterday and love it!
Strong and well made, should last forever. Works perfectly and would give it a 10 star review if I could....cost delayed me, a few moments but it is worth every cent. Happy I got it, before you were out of stock....appreciated the email letting me know when they became in-stock. The Misty is way too expensive and this Stamp Platform is right on the mark...great job Mr Holtz!
Fast shipping, thanks.....

My question is, I thought those were 12 x12 in size, I see its 8.50 x 8.50, is that the only size they are?

No. Only 8.5x8.5". However, two sides are open so the platform can still accommodate 12"x12" to stamp.

What are the differences between this 1707e and the previous 1708e platforms?

Do you still plan on stocking and selling the Tim Holtz/Tonic Stamp Platform? As far as I can tell your pages on this site state they are out of stock, no longer available and available/or coming in June. I am confused, will we be able to purchase it through your site? Is the whole thing being held up due to the patent law suit?

Is anyone able to explain why these are in store & in people's hands in England & not available in USA?

The Misti patent had not been approved in the UK, so the stamp platform was able to be sold. So I understand.
By: phillipspb

Probably because MISTI's international patent is still pending, whereas the US patent has come through.

Help! My rubber stamp won’t cling to the “lid”, for lack of a better word. I have it flipped so the word rubber is on the top left, but it won’t pick up my stamp. My red rubber stamp is mounted on cling cushion with an image sticker attached. Should I use something to help it cling? Are there certain brands that don’t cling? Does the grid texture interfere with cling-ability? Help!

I clean the back of the stamp with a baby wipe and then I add a light coat of Aleene's Tack-It Over & Over Liquid Glue. Let it dry about 30 min. It will remain tacky and this should help. I keep this on hand for when I remove stamps from the wood blocks to use in my "Misti, TH stamp platform, or my Hampton one that is no longer made. Hope this helps, and keep on stamping :)

Using some chap-stick on your stamp will also help it cling. The chap stick washes off easy and does not or I should say has not harmed my stamps in anyway.

If using the clear stamps, do you need to insert a foam pad to stamp. If so, any recommendations? I'm new to this and heard that you are to use a foam stamp pad when stamping to get better impressions. Thanks.

The Stamp Platform does not need to a foam insert. The top of the tool (lid) is duel purpose and you can reverse to use with either the clear acrylic or cling mount stamps.
