I just received an email about this product. It looks very similar to another stamp positioner, but at a great price - $24.99.
Here it is!
I've had my eye on the other tool but haven't been able to justify the price.
What say the peas?
UPDATE: It arrived on Friday (very fast shipping) and it is WONDERFUL! I am very happy with my purchase!  |

I just posted the same email in the "new products" thread. Wondering the same thing as I'd like to get it for myself from DH for Christmas! Woo-hoo! Hope others have it and like it

No, but I want it. It's only slightly smaller than the original MISTI, but it's teal and way more cost effective. I have the MISTI and while I love it, all that hot pink staring back at me is blech. I also think that because HA is a larger company, if there are issues with it, you'll have better luck in the long term with resolution. Note that I'm not at all familiar with their customer service, but most bigger companies in scrapbooking are really good about replacing defective products (I've rarely run into a problem). The worst thing about the MISTI, beyond the cost, is that she doesn't truly stand behind her product in terms of a long term warranty and if you don't clean it precisely as she says, she can find a way to wiggle out of helping a customer with a product, even within the warranty period. I've seen people discuss it in various groups and mention how poor her customer satisfaction objectives seem to be and watch as people have lengthy conversations as to whether or not they'll buy one after seeing a fellow crafter get shafted, only to have Ms. Petunia herself reverse course for that one person and replace the tool...only because of the bad PR. I bought the MISTI because there weren't other options on the market that did what it did as easily and I desperately needed help with my stamping, so for me, it was worth getting last year even though I don't like buying from companies that don't make their customers a top priority, in general. But now, with more competition, I'm really considering going with the HA one. The color is appealing AND getting away from a company that has a bad reputation with customer service (a huge issue for me) is great...the price point is even better.

It had only been available for pre-order as of fairly recently, so I am excited to see it is now available for purchase!

I don't have this but I do have the Misti - which is cracking terribly for no reason that I can think of. I've used the special cleaner and treated it with tender loving care but it is cracking. When it is no longer useable, I won't even consider another but I WILL buy this one.

Looks wonderful and as said a much better price point. I could invest in one of these.

I pre-ordered and received mine Monday! I haven't seen a MISTI in person, so I can't compare them, but so far I love it! I've only made a couple of cards, but it works wonderfully, especially for the price point.

I just watched Juliana Michaels's video on YT. Looks super easy (and tempting!) but man, I am such an eye-baller. I wonder if I would REALLY use it. Hmm...

I mostly wanted it so I could double stamp things that didn't turn out the best the first time. I have a TON of older ink from CTMH that doesn't stamp perfectly, but if I double or triple stamp it are fine, I just can't line it up on my own. $25 for this is a lot cheaper than a whole new line of ink pads.

I'm certainly very happy with my Stampoholic. Has really helped with restamping images that don't turn out so well first time, layered stamping and of course mass producing things.

I saw the HA one yesterday in person (side by side next to the Stampaholic, Misti and the WeR) and came home and ordered it as soon as I walked in the door.

Based on this post, I went and ordered the HA Stamp Positioner. It arrived Saturday, and I already love it!
Just a couple of weeks ago, I also ordered the WMRK positioner. I love it too - especially for larger papers, such as when I wanted to stamp the inside of an A2 card. Since part of the card went outside the positioner, I was able to hang on to the card instead of having it stick to the stamp. It is especially good with cling-mounted stamps.
However, I needed to stamp on a small strip of paper, and the paper sticking to the clear stamp in the WMRK was a real problem. The magnets in the HA positioner took care of that just great!
And NO Bible verses preaching at me! |

I agree with everything you've said  I really dislike supporting someone with such bad customer service and bad customer attitude. But it really has helped me use my stamps. I also really dislike the pink so I will probably get this one because of the cost and the color. And I really don't trust my MISTI to last a long time, I don't abuse my tools but I also want tools I can use without fear. I really love the price of this one!! |

Every time this thread pops up now I re-read and then want to order it, lol! Grr! I'm not one to usually push people into buying things, but I really do think having a stamp positioner has changed my stamping and crafting! I made close to 150 Christmas cards this year. That is more then I've made my entire life I love mass producing with a stamp positioner and being able to re-stamp when something doesn't stamp perfect the first time. I also can't line something up straight even with a ruler  I have so many stamps that I was slowly selling and scrap garage sales. Now I wish I hadn't as I'm using my stamps so much more now |

I have one of the cracking MISTIs. It's still usable but I just noticed on Saturday that the cracks are longer and deeper now. It's just a matter of time.
A stamp positioner is critical to my stamping. I'm glad to hear of this new brand. When I replace, it will be with a Hampton Arts one.

Excellent! I'm so happy to hear that everyone is satisfied with their purchases. I got one for my mom for Christmas (and one for me too). Although I haven't gotten around to making my cards yet (late much?), I'm going to break it out for the Christmas cards. Glad that it's gotten great reviews...with it being so much more affordable than the competition, I'm relieved to hear it works as well.

I love my Misty. I bought it when there were no other options, and I don't regret it, even though it was expensive. But I have heard bad things about the company and if I ever need to replace it, I would prefer to buy from someone else as long as it works just as well?
