This week we introduce a new feature to the newsletter, the Sponsor Roundup. In the right-hand sidebar at the bottom of each newsletter you'll see a listing of recent Splitcoast advertisers and newsletter sponsors, with the sponsor's name, a tagline, and a link to their site. Visit these sponsors, try their products, and thank them for being here.
If you'd like to advertise your own store, product, event or service but you're not quite ready for a larger ad campaign or sponsorship, for a mere $50 you too can reach our 27,000+ subscribers with a listing in the Roundup. Interested? Follow the link at the bottom of the Roundup listings and we'll get you included in next week's Inkling.

    Q: " How do you stamp on foam? "- Marion
    A: Cut the fun foam a bit bigger then your stamp. Heat the fun foam with a heat gun until the edges curl up, then turn it over and heat the reverse. Press the stamp into the foam quickly and hold down for about 10 seconds. Trim around the image and adhere to the project. There are many samples of stamped foam in the gallery.

    Feedback From Past Tutorials
    Melinda Palomaria wrote about the Glass etching tutorial:
    "Something else to try with this technique would be to leave the heated embossing powder (I recommend the clear gloss color) on the glass and not to scrape it off. This gives the image texture while still being able to see through the stamped image. Try it and feel the difference!"
