Tim Holtz Travel Stamp Platform Review

When I first saw this used in a stamping video, I checked Amazon and was instantly turned off by the price.  My friend Lynn, however, bought one.  Being an art teacher, she is more justified in dropping $25 on equipment.  Even though I wasn't going to buy it, after using hers, I saw the advantage instantly.

Anyone who has ever stamped and imaged then tried to stamp over it can attest to the impossibility of getting it right.  Consider this problem:

I just received these from Amazon, but they were a bit warped.  Not a good image.

Using this tool, I could re-ink the stamps and try again without creating a weird ghost image.

Not perfect, but way better.  Again, the stamps were a little warped to begin with.

I like that the set come with two powerful magnets that hold the paper so it doesn't shift when stamping.  I didn't want to drop $25 at first, but now, I'm seriously glad I did.

I love that you can position the stamps right onto the paper, which eliminates any guess work.

Drop the little acrylic lid down and it picks up the stamps right where you want them.

Ink right on the stamp.

Easy and effective!
