When this platform first came out I was determined to choose this one over the misty. I really love my Tim Holts platform and i brag on it all the time. I can't craft with out it. I love all the videos explaining the products and how to use them. Thank you so much for producing such great quality products. Including my stains and inks!
Thanks Tim, i have had my studio stamp platform for over 12 months sitting on the shelf as i wasn't sure how to use it and decided today its time to try to use it , your commentary video on how to use it and the water color effect gave me the confidence to finally use it ... cheers Love this tool now .
I'm just happy to see you put inks on your platform and I can hear all the old crafters scream at you! So funny. You've been there so its funny to see your smirky smirk. Great job!!!!
Tim, I confess I have made several of my own stamping platforms in the past, but yours is the only one I thought worth buying, and I love it...it's well-thought-out and affordable, and I highly recommend it.
Got this stamping platform last week. I love it. I was never much of a stamper before cause somehow I always seemed to mess it up. But with this tool my stamping has become so enjoyable and I've become very adventurous, I love it.
I love Tim Holtz and try to watch everything he does. I thought this was a new video on more tips with the stamp platform but it's the exact same video that was put up earlier I watched a few months ago. I didn't realize that companies were reposting the same videos at later dates. I was disappointed that it wasn't a new one.
I did a bunch of research, when I was selecting my Stamping platform. I saw a lot of people recommend this one, and I bought the travel size, as I limited on space. I love this platform. Even the small size, I cut larger papers and I never have a problem. I'm glad I was able to purchase one before they were no longer available.
This is so Tim Holtz! I'm writing this during our nation's "shelter in place" time and anxiety is fairly high. But the soothing voice of Tim coupled with his "don't worry, it will all work out" attitude" is the PERFECT tutorial at a time like this. LOVE the Stamp Platform - in fact, since I'm doing a ton of work for my new Etsy shop now ... I think I have to order one - NOW!
Love to watch you Tim, and thanks for the reminder that we shouldn't take this so seriously but to have fun. Our stamps should be a bit dirty! Look forward to your next vid
I have have my stamp platform since they came out and I learned several new thing, like sliding the magnets, and an easier way to lift the plat form. Thanks Tim
I love my stamp platform. I purchased it when it first came out. Thank you for your uncomplicated, informative technique video. Finally got my old ink stains off and learned how to handle the magnets.
I just got the stamping platform delivered....& I am so glad to have watched your video re how much fun ahead for me...I am sure I will be doing “watercolor art with this”...can’t wait- Margy😀
I just ordered my tonic tim holtz stamping platform after doing research on the best tool for accurate stamping and I can't wait to get it and start stamping.I also like Tim's just have fun ~ create !!
Tim, thank you much for this video. I always get nervous 😅 about using the platform, you made it look so easy. Now l can relax and look at your video if need be again.
I just got my stamp platform today and am a complete novice to stamping. After watching the video i am confident that this will be my "new thing".The video was quite straight forward even i can follow it. Thank you so much.
I love this platform. It works fantastically well. I have the standard size platform and two of the travel size. Very upset they won't be available in the US anymore, so I made sure to have that extra. If anything happens to my platforms, I'll be getting replacements from the UK (I have friends there). Keep up the great work, Tim.
Great great video, I have one of these platforms but haven’t used it too often, watching this video will give me more opportunities to put it to good use. You explain instructions very well. Thank you
So glad I found the platform before they disappeared and had to have the media mat too! I'm spoiled - your stuff is the best. Thanks for the tips - who knew about the magnets and watercolor technique.
I ruin more images by uneven pressure, no matter how hard I try to press every area of the surface! Love having multiple images stamped at once, also. Thank you so much Tim! and Mario.
It’s one of the best craft items I have bought this year. Just about to buy another one for my holiday home. I never enjoyed stamping but now it’s a breeze.
This was an Awesome video tutorial. Thanks Tim, I learned a lot. I really enjoy my platform and use it a lot. I am so glad that you came up with this idea. I looked at different platforms before I purchased one and yours had more to offer for the money. I am so glad that it was also affordable as well as really Awesome. It works amazingly. I only wish you would have come up with this idea sooner. Thanks Again.
Thanks for the great video. Your sense of humour makes me laugh out loud. I love this stamp platform and find myself reaching for it in preference to my other stamping tool. The two open sides and the reversible lid make it so easy to use. Price-wise, it was really affordable. I am thrilled that I found it in my local craft store as it is sometimes difficult to procure craft supplies in Ireland.
Love "just have fun with it" people stress out over too much in life. Crafting should be fun. Getting my platform tonight. Replacing a competitor's. This one is so much nicer.
I love this glade I waited wonders if it’s small because I do crops and need it small to fit in my bag, I got mine from scrapbooking made simple but want the bag to protect it. TFS smiles
Being a not so creative individual, I am always searching for ideas to do with my grandchildren hoping to give them the opportunity to see that being creative is fun. I purchased the stamping platform recently based on a different video on You Tube. I received the platform a few days ago and thought..."Now what?". I am so glad I found this video! I now how confidence that I in fact CAN be creative. Presentation was total perfection in explaining and demonstrating how to use this platform. Tim has the perfect voice to keep your attention and he didn't feel intimidating in anyway for a newbie. THANK YOU!!!
I have one of these platforms as well as a Misti. What I like best about the Tim Holtz platform is the ability to adjust it to fit either rubber or clear stamps. What I don't like about it is the lack of cushion on that very hard stamping surface. I lay a clean paper towel under the paper I am stamping when using the Holtz platform to get a better stamped image.
To avoid getting nipped by magnets fold any kind of sticky tape over each one, allowing a 'tail'. if magnets do jump together just pull apart using tape tails. :)
I have both platforms. Great vidio. And their covers. To be honest, the covers, I have used when I travel. They are the perfect size for my tablet and cell phones. Also I use cheap sanitizer because they normally don't have lotions or fragrance. Magic eraser for permit inks I don't get to right away. Usually when I mass produce. The only issuei have with these platforms, because it's a huge area, sometimes I can't get the right pressure. I've seen others make a tool to put pressure on stamp platforms. Which is a game changer. Especially with carpal tunnel. I use an Air hockey paddle. It's felted and perfect size for both platforms.
After I learned that Tonic Studios will not be able to sell their platform in North & South America and Canada any longer, I had to rush out and purchase the Travel Platform to take with we me to crops. I have the larger platform for use at home, but now that there's going to be difficulties in acquiring these wonderful tools, I had to get the one I've been hoping to get for a while. Personally, I think My Sweet Petunia (the MISTI creator) is unfair to create this issue since competition is what keeps crafting affordable, but that's just my opinion...😋 😉
What am I doing wrong? I think I am probably the only person who can't get a perfectly 100% stamped image 😭😭😭😭 Nö matter what I do/try I haven't been successful yet.
It's hard to guess as to what you're doing wrong. Are the stamps you're using fairly new? If so, maybe you need to clean them with some soap and water and dry them. Do the stamps work when using them with an acrylic block? If they work with a block, there's really no reason they won't work with the platform, unless you're using the wrong side of the platform lid. Be sure you're using the proper side of the lid with the stamp you're using. If you have the rubber side of the hinged lid facing up when using a clear stamp, the stamp will be too far away from the lid to give an impression. On the other hand, if the clear side is facing up and you're using a rubber stamp, the lid won't close properly as the stamp is too thick to be used when a clear stamp should be used. If you're unsure which stamp you're using, look at the stamp sideways - if it's thick and looks like it may have been used with a wooden block, chances are it's a rubber stamp. If it's clear and the side view isn't real think, it's probably a clear stamp. Watch the video again as Tim shows the difference. Hope you have better luck now!!!
You aren't kidding about how strong those magnets are. I knew to keep them apart, so while I was checking out my New platform, I was careful to put one of the magnets on one side of my desk and the other on the other side. We are talking 3-4 ft apart....and all of a sudden SNAP!! right in front of my eyes, they connected. I was so lucky they did not shatter. Now, if I need to remove them, I sit on one....lol.
I love that Tim Holtz took the time to demonstrate his own product. Extremely informative. I was considering the Misti but am sold on this platform.
Nothing better than Tim Holtz demos, thanks
Thanks for watching! (:

The open concept is what sold me over the misti. Love that I can use a 12x12

Love this Platform! It was gifted to me after it became unavailable here in the US and I couldn't be happier. No more messy stamping.
I'm just happy to see you put inks on your platform and I can hear all the old crafters scream at you! So funny. You've been there so its funny to see your smirky smirk. Great job!!!!

I've just ordered a stamp platform. So excited not to ruin anymore stamping projects.
That's so exciting! We hope you love it :)
I ruin more images by uneven pressure, no matter how hard I try to press every area of the surface! Love having multiple images stamped at once, also. Thank you so much Tim! and Mario.

Hi Tim, That is so awesome! I love the water color application and the ability to re-stamp is just what we all need. Thank you!
It’s one of the best craft items I have bought this year. Just about to buy another one for my holiday home. I never enjoyed stamping but now it’s a breeze.
Brilliant quality, so glad I bought one. I have just ordered another for a friend.
Yay! So happy to hear you love it and are introducing your friend to it as well! 🙂
Great video! Glad to have this platform, very pleased.
I love my stamp platform! I have friends who have Misti but they now wish they had this instead. The open sides are a big plus!
I bought this one. Love it and reach for it all the time.
Thank you for a easy to understand video ! I was a a awful stamper wasted tons of copic paper but not any more
This was an Awesome video tutorial. Thanks Tim, I learned a lot. I really enjoy my platform and use it a lot. I am so glad that you came up with this idea.

Love "just have fun with it" people stress out over too much in life. Crafting should be fun. Getting my platform tonight. Replacing a competitor's. This one is so much nicer.
Finally...a video where comments are not disabled. What a joy to just say THANK YOU TIM!
I love this glade I waited wonders if it’s small because I do crops and need it small to fit in my bag, I got mine from scrapbooking made simple but want the bag to protect it. TFS smiles
I bought one of these two weeks ago and love it.
Magic sponges for the kitchen clean all ink off the stamp platform no cleaner needed.
thank you for the different techniques, explanations clear and easy to apply, I loved your teaching style

I ordered this yesterday, can’t wait for it to arrive so I can play!!!!
THANK YOU TIM I JUST BOUGHT THOSE TWO YESTERDAY!!!! LOVE UM :)
So glad to hear it! Thanks for sharing Irene! (:

Thank you so much. jan from Australia 🇦🇺

I love mine. Looked at all different ones but this was, the best. Xx
Hi Tim! Great tutorial--thanks! I love your relaxed approach to creating! Going to order one of these....
Very informative because I am just starting Thanks
I am looking forward to playing when I get my platform!
Fantastic, I didn't want this to finish. :-) thanks for sharing.
Love the platform. I was lucky and bough it the day it was released ❤
I love both of my TH regular and travel platforms! The lid seems a little warped, but I still wouldn't trade them!
I LOVE my stamp platform!
Best stamping platform ever.
learned something new, love my stamp platform!
New to this. Really liked the water colour stamping at the end.
We can't wait to see what you create 🥰
I love this video! The watercolor tips help a lot!
Hand sanitizer does work with staz-on you just have to make sure to cover the whole stain and let it sit there for a minute ... Works every time

I am agree wit you, besides, the Tim Holtz Platform is way better than MISTI
@@TEREFUNKENRB I definitely like Tim's platforms best, but there are others who swear by the Misti. To each his own...
Very fun! Adding to my "wish list!"
very clear imprint and doesn't shift
Wish I had held-out for the travel size platform! But, I do enjoy using my Tonic platform!
I found one!!!! Should be here any day!
