*Hello Simon, Stamp using the smooth side. I learned from Stacey Park from Scrapbooking Made Simple. Thanks for the video!! Love you!!* *Linda (Swer-Zin-Skee) from NJ. (✿◠‿◠)* 😀💜😇🌷

If you cut the sticky grid before applying it, you can position it exactly where you want to stamp. Add a new centre line for lining up/centring, and you're good to go. Decreases the cost of replacement sheets by a half to a quarter of the cost and makes the platform easier to clean up if you need it that way (OCD people would appreciate that I'm sure!)

I use a waffle flower mat with grid in mine and won’t have to buy sticky mats, cleans up better too, love it

Having purchased both this stamping system and the Altenew stamp wheel, here are my pros and cons for both. Altenew. Pros: Photopolymer stamping grid, has good grip, easy to clean. Sturdy build. Cons: Pricy, can be cumbersome to use, remembering the last position you stamped and having to flip the wheel over time you need to ink the stamp. Sizzix stamp and spin. Pros: Easier to use as it attaches to the stamp platform base and you only need to lift it up to ink the stamp. More ergonomic as you rotate the wheel and not having to flip over the whole thing every time. Cons: If purchased with together with the stamp and stencil platform works out around the same cost as the Altenew stamp wheel. No magnetic or silicon/ photopolymer grip base. Having to purchase new sticky grid mats when they deteriorate over time. At the end of the day it’s down to cost and personal preference.

I haven't tried it yet, but when my sticky grid gets worn out, I think I'll try some pixie spray or stencil spray on it and see if it works that way.

I love the Sizzix stamp tool-no magnets. I have a pacemaker and I am surrounded by magnets with my crafting! Thank you, Simon!

I can’t tell you how thankful I am that you test products for us. I have many products I’ve purchased in the past that I wish someone could have prevented me from wasting money. Glad you’re back.

Great review, Simon. Just a couple of "notes": because Sizzix is British, they use A4 paper so the card size is different. They did not mark the sticky grid because you will not be using their card size and they were aware of that. Very considerate of them! I use A4 but appreciate that their market is international. BTW, you could use the wreath maker centre section to stamp the sentiment as well - you don't need to change to the other lid.

I love this platform! I love the spin attachment. I just experimented with the concord &9th turn stamps and it worked amazing for the spin and stamp tool attachment. ❤

This system is slightly similar to the Stampin' Up Stamparatus that also had a "lid" that was removable and could be moved upor down, but it had two lids so one could be set up stamping two-step images easily. However, that said, mine didn't last long because the constant removing of the lid ended up shaving down the posts ever so slightly, but enough that the 2nd image didn't quite line up correctly. I don't even use it anymore. I am a Misti fan all the way, and I don't have near enough room on my work table for a stamp platform this large, but I'm sure it will be a great tool for other users. Most importantly, thank you for demonstrating new items on the market so we can see how it performs. That really means a lot to your subscribers!

I regret buying this. Why ? well I've only used it a few times for some larger stamps- since there's really no gush I have to stamp a number of times and use my hockey tool. Also, I will never use this for the Sizzix stencils since they are too expensive and I can't be bothered buying strips to use with regular stencils. Then the mat will wear out eventually and here we go... buy more of those. About 6 weeks after buying this I got the Altenew Stamp Wheel... oh my what a game changer that is, talk about $ well spent. I love it !!! It's fabulous.

@@kathybost1879 Thank you. I was waiting for the stamp wheel to become more refined. I figure changes will be made so I will wait and see. I’m wondering about how I stencil versus how other paper crafters stencil. I do lots of partial stenciling with mediums and paint far more than stencil full backgrounds with ink. And I am mad for gel printing. None of the specialty stencil mats seem designed for that kind of stenciling. Except for Altenew’s Stampwheel, I think I have all the other tools for radial stamping. Nope. I don’t have We R’s tool. But I do have Sizzix’s platform and wheel. They were a Mother’s Day gift. So far, I’m a happy stamper. I have other stamping platforms too and over time I have found that I tend to relegate platforms to particular kinds of paper crafting. I use my MISTIs primarily for card making. My Tim Holtz platform was disappointing and the middle was too flexible for clean images. The size of the Sizzix platform and the open sides means I can stamp rolls of paper like for making gift wrap. Rolls of fabric too, come to think of it. Eventually I will probably get the Stampwheel too. I was crabby about the price at first, but I love stamping mandalas and seemingly have to compare all of the tools for doing that. Remember Inkadinkado’s Stamping Gear? Yeah, I bought all of them. But then I still use them so… I recently figured out that I can use the gears with gel plates.

Congratulations Simon on your debut on Create and Craft here in England,enjoyed your shows very much. Hope to see you again.👏🏻👏🏻

The Stampin up stamp platform used to work the same as moving it up or down plus it could work from the top as well

I always enjoy your product reviews. You are not afraid to be honest about what you like as well as what you don't like. Myself, I'm not too sold on this product as a stamp platform except for the ability to move the stamp up and down. I do think the Stamp and Spin is pretty cool, though. Thank you!

Pixie spray will hold down those loose stencil pieces. If it leaves residue maybe just use less or give it 30 seconds to dry before adding it to your paper.

It's very similar to what Stampin Up had, they had to retire it because My Sweet Petunia took them to court. It was a good size being 6x6. Wonder if they will try to take this one to court too. My plates didn't line up well after months of use and the grid was hard to see. Misti is actually better although I did like the feature that you could hang the card over the edge as completely flat. Thanks for the review!

@pammcclung861

Ай бұрын

I wondered that as well, because My Sweet Petunia sued Tonic/Tim Holtz over them having a hinge, too, which made me sad because I felt that product was different in several other ways that were so much better. This Sizzix one also seems similar in some of the same ways so I’m guessing they may get sued also. I wish all these products could be on the market since everyone likes different features and there seems to be plenty of room for all the options. 😢

Thank You for this review. I found out infor. I did not have on this product from other reviews. Since you asked my favorite platform is one you can no longer buy from Stampin Up. I actually have several different platforms from different companies and like all for different reasons. This new Sizzix one I do like for the large size and that it has ways to use it for multiple functions. I'm sure it will become one of my favorites.

I love this product!! I have recently bought the stamp & spin addition & its awesome, too. The adapter for stencils, the sticky side needs to face up, so it's easier to switch the stencil when it's a layered stencil. The sticky sheet lasts a long time.

Thanks for taking the time to review and I enjoyed the video but this is not for me. Great idea but I don’t do a lot of spinning designs on my cards. The platforms I currently own are enough for me.

Hi Simon! I love this tool for my cling mounted red rubber stamps! I also didn't realize that the sticky grod mat couldn't/shouldn't be cleaned so that is the downside for me. If I had to choose a favorite stamp platform, I 'd say the Stampwheel is my favorite but I find they all have pros and cons and are good for some things/techniques and perhaps not as good for others. Thank you for such an honest and thorough review!

Great price point! I bought the stamp and spin attachment for $28.91 on Amazon. I already had the base. I love how large the base is because I mostly do 5x7 cards. ALL the other stamp platforms do not accommodate stamping on large full cards. It leaves creases or you have to do a panel. The only downside is the sticky mat is awful. It leaves residue that you have to remove from your card. The stencils i just make or use the adapter to fit to the page. Once you have the adapter, you can cricut new ones! Just add the redline tape to attach your stencils. The stamp and spin is a no brainer! I just could not see paying 100$ for the other one. This does everything I need and more. I would definitely recommend this over the others.

The Tim Holtz stamping platform has the same hinges so you can layer your stamp down the length of your card . It’s a great bonus over all others I’ve seen . Very balanced and honest review . I’d hate the sticky mat tho as if it lost stickiness in the short time you used it , you’ll be replacing it way too often .

I’ve tried several platforms and I find Tim Holt’s platforms (two sizes) work the best and I use now exclusively. It’s so much better made than than the Misti, sturdier and like half the price! I also like the mechanism and how it works - don’t have to remove or add a pad when switching from clear to red rubber cling stamps - simply quickly flip the lid (like this one Simon is demonstrating). So I’d probably like this one, but not sure I’ll need it since it’s so similar to the Tim Holtz one.

Sort of reminds me of Lisa Horton’s stencil tool. I bought it and as you said, it is not easy to align stencils that are not hers. I am sorry i purchased it.

Thank you Simon for your honesty on these 2 products. When the stencil/stamp tool came out it was a hard pass for these reasons: it takes up way too much room while using. Having to buy too many extras to use with stencils I own. The type of hinge will wear down & make repeat stamping blurred just like the other platforms with this hinge system. Now with the spin wheel same reasons too much room required to use. I like my Misti 2.0 but it has issues with needing to apply pressure for detailed stamps. The Waffle Flower grip mat has helped that issue. I love my Altenew StampWheel so much more user friendly & less desk space needed to use. The only con is not big enough for slimline cards. They have StampWheel 2.0 in the works with some great features for larger cards & stamps.

I love the box throwing! That's what I do when I'm opening stamp packaging. 🤣Thanks for the fantastic review. Looks like a great system.

Great review, thank you! I would suggest for fiddly stencils you would love the Picket Fence Paper Pouncers. They are amazing and don’t move the little fiddly stencil areas like what you were dealing with in the video. They also came out with mini paper pouncers but I haven’t tried them. You could always do a review of them even though they have been out awhile. I just wanted to share something you might enjoy.

Glad you’re back. I think you gave a great review so thank you. 🌻🌻

Always appreciate reviews, thank you. I can see why larger plate would be helpful for scrapbooking.

I have ordered this as a fun tool. I really think it has pros and cons. That said, your demo is really great and offers ideas I haven’t considered. I hope there will be more inspirational tutorials on the spin feature to get the creativity going. Thanks!

Thank you for a great review. It answered a lot of questions that I had about this product.

Stampin' Up had a stamping platform where the top came off & moved up & down like this & they got sued & had to quit selling it. Not sure how this one has gotten approval. 🤔

I received this as a gift and haven't used it yet - I love the rotating design option and will definitely be using that! Thanks for your review.

Hi Simon, so happy to see you back. I dont have a stamp platform yet. Looking forward to your review.

I believe that your channel would be a great resource for the learners of the English language (who are interested in crafts) as you speak in a clear manner and in terms that are easy to understand. I sure expect that some people use it for such a purpose!

Good to see you back Simon! Thank you for a great review. Not for me but we are all different and I’m sure others will love it😊❤️

Thanks for the review. I have tools to do all the things so I don’t need to spend a bunch of money to do all the things a different way. The new photopolymer grip mats that came out are a game changer-easy to clean, sticky, flexible to roll back to release the cardstock , etc. I was moving the one I bought for my MISTI to my table for stenciling so I bought a larger one just to use on my table. Probably the most important negative for me is that it is just too darn big-no room to use it and no place to store it.

Thank You, Simon. Your review gave me the information I was looking for on these products. Great Job! Again thank you.

Very good presentation, Simon. You've showed and explained the pros and cons very well. 👍

Love what you have created with the new stamps and stenscils, can't wait to purchase them, Thanks for sharing.

Glad to see that you are back again! I hope you are doing well, Simon.

I love the stamp and spin attachment to the Sizzix stamp platform. I've used it multiple times, and my card fronts look amazing. Smaller stamps definitely work best for the wreaths, but I've been able to create with larger stamps as well. Thank you, Simon for reviewing this product. For me, it's a gamechanger.

Simon, love your videos. You are so clear and honest with your reviews and that’s really appreciated.

I loved this card, and the video was superb. L🎉ady, you are a natural! Your presentation is organised, warm and friendly, informative, and made me smile. Thank you for sharing and lifting my spirits 🪷

lol. I’m the same way with instructions. I loved the way you said “maybe I should have read the instructions"

Simon, Thank you. I am going to demo the Sizzix Stamp and Spin tools at Stampfest in Lakeland, FL for Marcos Papers on June 29 and 30. I learned so much from you. Your honest review is very helpful.

Thanks for the review, Simon. I was curious but will just stick with my Misti for now.

Thank you Simon it’s nice having someone not affiliated with the brand review the product. I like it I have nerve problems in my hands so I think this will help me get better impressions and help hold my stencils in place.

Thanks for this review! I really like how the lid comes off and you can move your stamp up and down the card. I don't even try that kind of design because I have a hard time keeping my stamp perfectly straight when I change positions with it.

Thank you for the great review/demo. I bought this a year ago at a stamp show and it is still in the box. I also bought the replacement mats and the adapters. I think the adapters would be more practical for non layering stencils. I don't think the spin tool was available when I bought the platform, but I see some real possibilities with it. My MISTI is still my most used stamp platform even though I also have the Stampwheel when I took your class.

Thanks for reviewing. Always good to see how new products fare and you did an excellent job demonstrating it's pros and cons. The ink not being washable is a deal breaker for me but at least I knew before buying it!

I have got one I have fine it is very good for doing stencils with inks and if you are very careful you can use your patse on it to. And like you said it is great for doing stamp and spin special at Christmas to do the wreath I thing it is a very good stamping tool to have in your room .

Thank you Simon for taking the time to review this item. I think a lot of folks will end up enjoying the new Stamp & Spin tool. While I may not end up with buying it, I do love how you gave your honest opinion both pro and con. It's nice to hear your take on these things from a fabulous crafter. --Kristin

Thank you Simon for this review. I love my Misti and I have a Tim Holtz platform which I use for larger cards. The Waffle Flower grip mats were very useful and a good price also. I like when you review products because I have a limited budget.

Just a first impression, I get the same great results using my Misti and GinaK's plastic kaleidoscope creator. I really like low-cost multi-taskers, *not* high-cost uni-taskers!

Great product review! Love that you laugh about oops opportunities for viewers to learn what not to do. 😂

I appreciate this review so much. I am not sure this is for me as a tool, but your review allows me to wait on it for a minute, thanks.

Thanks for this vid, I bought this when it 1st came out a few months ago & haven’t used it yet. I bought it mostly for the turning tool!! Amy. Apex, NC 🇺🇸

Excellent demo and very informative. Thank you Simon

The best part about this system is the Stamp and Spin. Wreath building and creating background images would be so easy! I like that you don't have to use magnets with this system, but don't like the sticky mat that will have to be replaced continually. I wonder how many uses each mat would provide before needing to be replaced? I have the Tim Holtz travel stamping platform and the Wendy Vecchi Make Art Stay-tion both of which I like. Also have the Stamping Gears which are a bit fussy. Thank you for your review!

I love this as a stenciling tool, and recently purchased the stamping wheel but have yet to use it.

great review. I have both parts of this. I didn’t think ‘out of the box’ when it came to non Sissix stencils & the adaptor. I thought you just used one per set and the rest were spares. I sat and re-aligned the same adapter on each stencil and used a Sharpie to mark the lines for when I used it next time. I’m going to try it again placing an adaptor on each stencil like you did. See if it’s any quicker. Also I found cheaper/unbranded stamps didn’t cling to the gridded side of the lid so turned it over like you did. I’ve been using the smaller sticky grids in my Misti for a few years and they last a long time & no you can’t clean them :)

Thank you for your honest review. Very helpful. I can now make an informed decision.

i love the large PinkFresh all in one stamps and dies. It was very frustrating trying to fit them on my medium sized Misti. I got this tool for them. Works great, ii can put two long card stock panels, stamp one then shift the lid and stamp the other. I may try the spin add on, looks interesting. Thanks.

I bought this platform for layered stencils and stamping. I've found no problem with using the adapters for non-sizzix stencils. I've have the wheel and couldn't stop stamping wreathes but mostly wanted it for making my own backgrounds. I am delighted with it. It comes with a plastic piece you've overlooked. This is used as a mask to protect the sticky mat when over stamping and keeps the mat clean and also used at bottom of grid when using the wheel to protect from dust or leaning on the sticky mat. I found it unfair review if you ignore instructions.

Great review! I purchased this tool when it first came out and only used it a few times. I will use it more with the newest tool thanks to your video.

Thank you for your review of this product. I am waiting on ordering something like this. I just got the misti and like it for my stamping. I am honestly waiting for another company to release their next version of their stamp tool.

Thank you for checking thus out for me🎉❤🎉

Very informative. The stamparatus from SU had a hinge the same as the sizzix one, but was down 2 sides. Unfortunately no longer on the market, lucky still have one. I think if you have lots of sizzix stencils it would be worth getting and if didn’t mind having to get replacement sheets. Maybe they will come up with something more else in the future

I bought the tool specifically for scrapbooking & for stamping on 12x12 paper. Not overly impressed with the stencil aspect of it but, I did get one of the sizzix sets that I liked after watching Pete demo it. Now the rotating platform has my intrest! Thank you for the demo & review!❤

Thank you Simon for this review. I initially saw this tool and thought it was kinda cool, but then I realized that I did not want to go through all that trouble of trying to get the cardstock lined up perfectly. I also do not care for the need to constantly replace the sticky grid🤷🏽‍♀️. I'll pass on this!

Glad to see that you are back on my screen again! I hope you are doing well, Simon.

How a bout using some “pixie spray” to make or refresh your base stickey mat ?

That's a great review, I have been wondering about it. Very helpful, thank you! Even though it has great appealing, I prefer my misti. Can't say anything about the rotating function but it looks great in your presentation.

I’m glad you did the review. I have been underwhelmed by the basic stamping tool. I just got the stamp and spin and haven’t tried it. It will make all the difference if it works as well as I think it will. I’m glad to see how you used it. Agree completely with your view of this tool overall.

Thanks forgetting us know the good and bad of this tool But.....NOPE, not for me, I've been stamping and scraping for about 32 years and this would be a total waste of money for me. I really appreciate your showing how this works though! The tool I'm speaking of is the Stamp and Stencil tool.

This looks like a nice tool, especially with the addition of the spinner tool, but I think I would buy a different sticky mat--a silicone grid mat that I can clean up after using it. I have one, and I love having that capability.

The Stamparatus by Stampin’ Up! has the same hinge features- ability to remove the whole plate and move it up and down to stamp in rows. I was most interested in the sticky mat. LOL.

Thanks for the helpful and fair review. This doesn’t solve any problems I have, and the size and clunkiest when using other companies’ stencil makes it impractical for me. I can get the up and down adjustments pretty easily by moving the cardstock, and I am so in love with photopolymer grip mats this one just seems meh. But thank you-now I’m sure.

Happy Birthday Simon! Hope you’re having a wonderful day! 🎊 🎉🎂

I don’t understand why Sizzix didn’t make the platform with a very thin gel mat which would be the best of both worlds. It’d act as a stamping mat, hold your paper and stencil plus fully washable 🤷‍♀️

Hopefully they will next time?? They missed that in their designing.

Great demo/review! I don't have the tool, but I agree with a lot of what you found. I'm old school and have several of the Tim Holtz stamping platform, which sadly aren't available anymore. This new tool appears to have the same hinge system as the TH's one, which I find interesting since I thought the TH's one got taken off the market because of it's hinge system. Regardless, I happy with my TH's system and have no plans on getting this one. I did get the Altenew Stamp Wheel for xmas, just for making wreaths. Unfortunately, I haven't had much success with it so far.

I bought A LOT of those adapters and it is almost impossible to line them up accurately on the non-Sizzix brands. I have some layering stencils with 11 pieces. Sigh. I was SO disappointed so thought I would just use it for Sizzix stencils and, if I had it out, for stamping. BUT the Stamp & Spin is its salvation. So stinkin' fun AND easy amazing results. Great review (like always).

Not sure for certain, but I think the textured side is for when you're using the red rubber stamps.

Hi Simon Thanks for this extensive review. I like everything except looking at the messy sticky paper. If you find a sticky mat in that works well can you please let us know. I do not have a circular platform yet. Will you please compare the Stampwheel and the Sizzix?

Thank you for doing this review. I think if someone wants this tool they’d better grab it, because it is so similar to the Stampin Up Stamparatus I doubt it will be able to stay on the market long. I really like my Stamparatus and if I were going to replace it I would buy the Wheel. I don’t like the idea of having to replace the grip paper and I can see issues if you don’t get it perfectly straight on the platform.

When adding the adapters to the stencils, I would probably hook the adapter to the platform *first*. Then you're not trying to line up the holes of the adapter *and* the holes of the stencils themselves, both at the same time.

Simon, you do the best crafty review videos on KZread. Thanks for your honest view of both the pros and the cons of the tools you review. I like that this tool can accommodate a full size sheet of cardstock and I find the spinning platform very interesting, but the sticky mat is a definite con for me, as well as the stencil system. My hope is that Altenew’s updated version of the Stamp Wheel will handle 8.5” x 11” cardstock (maybe the new size is 9” x 12” like their latest grip mat??). Therefore, I’m waiting for it to be released (hopefully in the near future) before purchasing another stamping platform to add to my 2 Misti tools.
