Stamp Platforms - Which One??

I am thinking of purchasing a new Stamp Platform.  The one I have is not big enough to take my longer stamps easily.  

I am thinking of getting the Tim Holtz Tonic Studio one with the 8.5x8.5 stamping are.

The one I have at present came with the stamping foam, but as far as I know the THTS one doesn't have the foam.  From my experience, the foam helps to give a good impression when stamping. 

What do you think?  Which platform do you use?  Does it matter if there is no foam?  Can I purchase the foam sheet separately if I get the THTS platform?

I have looked at different platforms on the net but am confused!  I just want one that has a bigger stamping area than the one I have now.  If you have any thoughts, please let me know!

Thank you in advance!

Sundays Cards!

I made these three cards yesterday.  The top one has yellow sequins in the center of the daisy, as well as on the card.  

The "Hugs" card was made using a new die I got recently.  This was the first card I made with it.The word "hugs" was cut out of white card and grey card.  The grey card is the negative.  The white "Hugs" is inlaid into the grey card.  I attached the panel to a red card and then onto the embossed white card, and finally onto the red card.

For the card above, I water coloured the birds using water colour pencils.  I like the colours on this card!

Thanks for dropping by, have a SUNSHINE day!  {HUGS} from me to YOU:-)
