It's summertime...yeah! For my grandsons, summertime means swimming and playing in the sand. Which means...SANDCASTLES!
Look at these cute pictures of my grandsons Sam (2) and Max (4), that were taken on Memorial Day. They are growing like weeds!
Aren't they cuuute?!
The picture of Max with his sandcastle got me thinking about a Sandcastle Punch Art card I made last year summer that I never got a chance to share. When I found my photos, I discovered it uses the SPIRAL PUNCH (#119872) which is retiring! Oh no...not another punch that is leaving us!
Dawn's Punching Tip
To get the "sun" shape from the Scallop Circle Punch...
it's the same "double punch" technique that is used for getting a 10-petal flower from a 5-petal flower punch.
See here for instructions:
10-Petal Flower Punch aka: Double Punching
I'm pretty sure I cased this card, but since it was a year ago, I can't remember who - to give them credit. If you recognize this card as yours, let me know and I'll add your name.
I hope your day is filled with sun, stamping and sandcastles!

This is soooooo clever! And I can't believe they're retiring the spiral punch. Hope we get to keep it in the UK for a while.
