This week over at The House that Stamps Built I am going to do a comparison "study" using three different stamp platforms. (Disclaimer - I do not work for or promote any of the platforms that I used).
I used a few of my favorite fall stamps from Repeat Impressions.
Maple Leaf Sil. 5127-K
Oak Leaf Sil. 5110-I
Acorn 3311-C
Thanksgiving 1140-E
I happen to have 3 - (probably 2 too many) stamping platforms - so below are the supplies I used for this POTW.
As you can see there is very minimal difference in the stamped image, you can click on the picture to see a close up. Some of the leaves do have a few muted lines but there is no such thing as a perfect leaf - right?? I think it really comes down to what you have, what you can afford, and what you are comfortable in using. I decided I needed to add a couple of dies to the picture.
and as you can see in the final picture below it really added a bit of texture and interest. This Happy Thanksgiving card has already been mailed - yes I have a little senior buddy in Canada and they celebrate Thanksgiving on October 14 this year.
I decided I needed to fill some empty white space - so the little acorn was perfect. A triple twine bow on the leaf die and card was ready to mail.

Nice tutorial and beautiful card Shirley!
Your card is so gorgeous here Shirley! I love the colors and that leaf die is stunning! I think I have all but the SU! platform! LOL!! I use my MISTI the most. Thanks for sharing! HUGS
Gorgeous card Shirley. I also have a few stamping platforms but my favourite is my Misti..Loz
Ooooh, this turned out beautifully! I love the addition of the die-cut leaf. It adds some nice dimension and texture. As for stamping platforms, it seems they're always coming out with something better, doesn't it? I have the Fiskars stamp press, which was a big help when I first used it, but then I bought a stamping platform by WRMK, and I use it all the time. Don't know what I'd do without it anymore.
