The Tim Holtz Stamp Platform is easy to use with both photopolymer and non-mounted rubber stamps! Switching between styles is simple. And the platform is sturdy and solid--nothing flimsy about this stamp positioner. I appreciate the grids for lining up text to be sure it's straight, and the two open ends that allow stampers to use any size cardstock! This one was worth waiting for!!!!

Full disclosure - I've never had a stamp platform before.
It was smaller than I expected it to be (which is wonderful). I found it to be intuitive, but I have also watched videos about it and knew to check which side it was on. Swapping the acrylic lid over was simple and quick.
It has a slim profile and a small footprint (roughly the size of an 8x8 album).

I have been playing with this stamp platform all week and it works just like it is billed to. It is very sturdy and stamps cleanly. Multiple stamping is a breeze and restamping is easy and clean (as long as your paper is in the same position). Stazon ink comes off with a bit of elbow grease and the platform looks like new. My only improvement thought is that it really needs more magnets or at least one bar magnet to come with it.

Well made, sturdy, and easy to use. Rigid top panel makes thorough inking a breeze. No need for extra foam piece as the top flips to allow for use of both clear and cling-rubber stamps. Two open sides accommodate larger paper sizes. I own both the Tonic version and the Misti. The Tonic Platform is vastly superior in my opinion.

I have been wanting a stamp platform for a while but was put off by the price.. plus I kept saying I dont really need it I can manage.. WHY DID I WAIT SO LONG! This is amazing.. I am a messy printer and this is great as it is so forgiving. Plus I can use any of my stamps. They don't promote this but the back foam is also good for printing with wooden blocks. .. try it
Have fun.

I've had this only a couple of weeks and so I know I have a lot to experiment on but so far I's seeing the Tonic Studios 9.5” x 11.5” platform as a good investment. I've already saved on paper because I don't have to throw away my mistakes or turn my mistakes into scrap paper. And it is saving time. I'll do a copy on scrap paper (from my past mistakes) and figure out my layout before creating my final card. It's really great!

i absolutely love this stamp platform. i have the small we are memory keepers and decided it was time for a lager one. i am so glad i chose time holtz over the misty. the cost factor was a big decision in this purchase but what i like most is that it has 2 open sides instead of all 4 sides being enclosed this alows for use of many multi mediums.

I have waited and waited for this version to become available for US customers, and I pounced to purchase it as soon as I received notification that it was in stock..
I have always have challenges stamping evenly (or correctly...LOL!) and wanted a stamp positioner badly. The cost for the platform size I wanted was cost prohibitive for me from another manufacturer, so this version by a Tonic/TIm Holtz collaboration was welcome news. I have several products from them, and have found them a great value for the money, sturdy, and long-lasting.
I have of course, used the platform immediately upon receiving it, and I am so hopeful for my future stamping! I used multiple step stamps with success; I stamped multiple times to get a good image (poor inking on my part, not any thing to do with the platform!) from very solid stamps (the very band of my stamping existence!), and even found success with some stamps I love, but have *never* been able to obtain a good image from (so glad I was to stubborn to throw them out!)
I find that stamping with this platform does NOT require a heavy touch to stamp out a clean image, and I'm sure each stamper will find their own"sweet spot" for each type of stamp they use. It is easy to clean up after (I ask a messy stamper in addition to being shaky!)
Full transparency: I also own and use the WRMK stamp press plus, with its strong suit in letterpress features and the outstanding stencil holder.
That being said, I highly recommend this Tonic product for its usefulness, sturdiness, and value....and if I could only purchase one, I would choose the Tonic!

I've already recommended this to my stamping friends on Facebook. It is a great product, excellent quality. I love being able to flip the lid around to stamp with clear or red rubber stamps. The smooth magnetic surface is easy to clean up.
If I tried to find a negative, it would be if you place your stamp very close to the side where the "leg" of the lid comes down, you may not get a solid inked impression. I just try not to place my stamps close to that edge. Hope this makes sense.
I also own the 'other' stamping platform that's been around a while, and I really love this one more due to the lid flip option and the larger size and the fact that I don't have to keep up with gridded paper or a piece of foam. Just grab it and start stamping.

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!
