PH PandaHall Acrylic Stamp Block 5.9x6.1 Perfect Positioning Stamping Clear Stamps Scrapbook Craft Stamping Tool with Grid Lines for Card Making Scrapbooking Journaling and Other Paper Crafts

For those who don't like reading long reviews, here's the short version:If you're not getting great results with a stamp, it may not necessarily be the stamp itself, but the way you're stamping and the tools you're using. I've used clear silicone low budget stamps, low budget chalk ink and ultra thin, inexpensive index cards and have gotten GREAT results (even on finely detailed stamps) using this stamp press. When I later upgraded to high quality supplies, the results were even more amazing! Not only that, but I found that no matter what type of ink I use (pigment, dye, chalk, oil) it comes off easily with either a baby wipe or a bit of water on a microfiber cloth as long as I wipe it off right away.Would I recommend this product? Absolutely. (The abbreviated review ends here.)-------------------------I now own three stamp press tools; each one is different to the next. Out of all of them, I like this one best which is crazy since it has the simplest design and is also by far the least expensive.I initially got into stamping because I wanted to get better at colorizing adult coloring books. With a stamp, I could re-print the image over and over to try out various supplies, color combos and techniques without copy right infringement or the fear of "ruining" a color book.When I first started, I didn't realize that it takes the right combination of stamp, ink, paper and stamping tools to get a sharp, complete image on the first try (or at all), but I quickly learned the hard way. It was at that point that I discovered stamp presses/platforms/positioners. I was intrigued by the idea that I could re-stamp the same image over and over without moving the stamp or the paper it if I didn't get a good imprint on the first try.My other stamp presses are a little clumsy to use and I find them difficult to work with unless I'm sitting at a table. Although a magnetic base is useful to keep the paper in place, magnets are just one more thing that I have to contend with (and potentially lose) and even so, I STILL wasn't getting good results.This tool looks and feels like a heavy duty clear plastic CD case without the piece that holds the CD in place, but it's a little bigger than a CD case. There's a small lip that goes around all four sides. The lip keeps your paper in place without any magnets, but of course, you can still use a little piece of washi tape for added security.I have been using Amazon Basics brand unlined index cards in both the 3 x 5 and 4 x 6 size with this stamp press with great success. When using the larger cards, I have to trim just a teeny bit off the length with my paper trimmer, but when I do, it fits in the base like a glove and doesn't move from side to side.When it comes my other stamp presses, unless you use them on a hard, flat surface, you're not going to get a good stamp impression no matter how many times you re-ink and re-stamp. That's not the case with this one. I set up my paper and stamp(s) like usual, ink up and press the lid down. While everything is still in place and the lid is still down, I PICK UP THE STAMPING PLATFORM VERY CAREFULLY AND SQUEEZE THE STAMP(S) FROM BOTH SIDES ALL AROUND and -- Voila! -- a great stamp impression. In the event that I didn't get quite enough ink on the stamp the first time, I just open the press, re-ink where it's lacking and repeat the process. I can't pick up my other stamp platforms and do that; they are too thick and inflexible. Additionally, in order to work properly, they MUST remain stationery. Last but not least, in the event that you have a hidden low spot somewhere on the base, you still might not get great results.This stamping tool is great for stamps that are up to 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" in size, but I would love to have a larger version of this, too.

Small and compact and doesn't the job of holding stamps in place. A small piece of washy tape holds paper in place and if you need to restamp your paper, it is easily done.Seems to be durable. Easy to clean with a damp cloth. Easy storage as it doesnt take up much room.A cost effective purchase.Happy with this purchase

I don’t know how I managed without it. It’s easy to use and small enough to easily store. It isn’t as heavy as the more expensive ones I’ve seen but it’s what I had expected for the low price. I bought it for portability and it serves my needs. I put my card stock on the PLAIN, NON-gridded side and hold that in place with a tiny piece of masking tape at one corner. Then lay the stamps where I want them on the card stock. Next I close the device until the clear stamps stick to the top side with a grid. I open the lid, apply ink to the stamps from an ink pad then firmly press lid back down so the image stamps on the card stock. It can be done several times if necessary in order to get a crisp image. I’d buy it again.

These blocks work well. Used successfully but a thicker block would make using better. Keep getting ink on the block itself when I press hard. It's clear and easy to see through.

This is a new hobby and this stamp positioner was a good tryout before committing to an expensive one. It has been working fine, but just now noticing the plastic is starting to warp and it’s an effort to have full coverage on a clear stamp. May have to shell out for the expensive one in time. Good fit to begin.

This stamp positioner is on the small side but it is good. Good for small cards or gift tags etc. As you can see I have used washi tape to hold my card in place and it works well. So no need for magnets. I am just getting started with stamping so this is budget friendly. It came scratch free and clean. This is compact, so it is very portable. Decent quality for an affordable price.

Just as the add said

So far it has really solved some of my problem of getting my stamp in the right place, not getting enough ink the first time, using more than one color and things like that. Sturdier than I expected.
