Vaessen Creative 2137-033 Easy Stamp Platform Tool for Accurate Craft Stamping, White/Transparent, 23.5 x 20.5 x 1.8 cm

This is the best stamping platform that I have ever used. I have tried other well-known makes and I have been very disappointed with them all, apart from this one.It is very well made, with a hinged lid. There are markings on both the base and the lid for accuracy and precision stamping.This is made of strong and durable plastic and is top quality. The base is fully magnetic and there are 2 rubber encased magnets included. I purchased a set of 2 spare magnets to use with thicker/larger card or paper.It is open edged which allows accurate stamping on all of your projects, whatever the size. On all the other platforms that I have I used, you were restricted to using smaller sizes of cardstock, due to the edges being enclosed on more than one side.There are 2 very strong magnets, encased in rubber, which hold your cardstock in place. You can buy replacements should you require more than two, or if you should lose any.The magnets are so strong that the cardstock stays in place when you lift the lid. The magnets are encased in pink rubber with tabs for ease of placement and removal. The secret to the stamp not "sticking" to the cardstock, is to keep it pressed down for 3 seconds.It is spring loaded and accommodates a variety of different sized stamps.The base seems to have a cushion effect, similar to using a stamping mat.Literally, position your stamp where you want it on top of your project, press down the lid to attach the stamp to the lid. Ink the stamp, then press down again. You can re-ink the stamp if necessary, without spoiling your project.No hard pressing needed. For those with dexterity issues, like me, it's a dream come true.I highly recommend this platform, I have had several well known brands, but this beats the others hands down. I have been paper crafting for years and I am delighted to have discovered this.Buy this, you won't regret it. It is literally a stampers delight.

This was a used item but like new. Very good value. Works perfectly and has made such a difference to the precision with which I can stamp. I'm very happy

Easy to use! Great value for money!The top section comes off and has two magnets on the top and 2 springs on the bottom.I chose this over a hinged version because I find it easier to ink my stamps and I find the magnet and spring function fun to use! ^.^The base also has cm & inches ruler but the top part has it clearer since it is in black.Easy to wipe clean ~ slightly damp or just a wet wipe.

I'd looked at various stamping platforms online and came across this one quite by accident. Reading the reviews from various sites, not just Amazon , I opted to buy the Vaessen Creative Stamp Easy+. I chose the "plus " model as the lid comes off completely which, for me , is much easier to use.It arrived within a couple of days, well packaged and I set to work using it. I'm not the worlds best stamper ! Indeed I'd go as far as to say I'm awful !!!!However, I must say that this platform has made my efforts so, so much better , plus for the first time, I'm actually enjoying using my beautiful stamps . I think with a little more practice I could become quite good and look forward to creating scenes etc by venturing into masking bits off------things I honestly never thought I'd be able to do.The platform itself is really sturdy, magnets hold the paper /card well and have little tabs to help you lift them off. This is brilliant if you have stiff fingers like mine.I would happily recommend this stamping platform, it's opened up the world of stamping to me . I never thought I'd be able to get any sort of presentable images until I used it.

Great value for money, very easy to use, precision stamping tool.

Easy to use, and magnets help keep paper/card in place.Measurements can be hard to see as they are the same colour as the stamp pad, but not an issue for me as I don't really use them. Great for restamps when ink may be a little light on the first try, and allows you to repeat as many times as you need to.

Invaluable piece of kit for stamping with, oh how I wish I'd had one of these years ago, the amount of card wasted to a poorly stamped image. With this brilliant tool you can re-ink, restamp over the same image again for perfectly crisp stamped images every time! It is also great for precise placement and for stamping borders and scenes.I opted for the hinged one as I'm clumsy and could imagine myself dropping the top, I am perfectly happy with this version. The platform cleverly takes large pieces of card and paper whereas some brands will only take a limited size. It comes with 2 strong magnets that hold the paper still and the sprung lid gives even pressure. I absolutely love this gadget and it has re awakened my stamping creativity. If you have lots of stamps, you need one of these

I always struggle to get the stamp where I want it to go and be ‘complete’ This is perfect for aligning your clear stamps and ensuring the image is sharp.
