Stampin' Up! Gift Bow Die Angel


Here is another unexpected way to use this die. Thank you to Catherine Steele for this great idea! Here is my version.

She only takes a few minutes to make. Here's what you need:

Gift Bow Bigz Die
1 1/4" Circle Punch
1 3/8" Circle Punch
1 3/4" Circle Punch
Word Window Punch
Brushed Gold Cardstock-arms and body (Gift bow Die)
Pink Pirouette Cardstock-face and arms
Champagne Glimmer Paper-halo
Vanilla Cardstock, 7/8" x 4 3/4" (banner)
Sassy Salutations Stamp Set
Cherry Cobbler Ink
Multipurpose Glue

 I die cut two bow tails and two of the small bows in Brushed Gold. Adhere the two small bow tails together so it forms her body. Use your bone folder to curl the arms and glue the tabs together. I first punched a 1 1/4" Circle from the Glimmer paper, then punched the 1 3/4" Circle over that, keeping the 1 3/4" punch down and center, so there was a little gap between the halo and the face. Glue that to the body. Punch a hole in the top and add your gold cording.
I added the face to the halo with glue and then glued that to the body.  Punch one Window Word and cut in half. Those are her hands and you can see my photo for placement.

Stamp your greeting in Cherry Cobbler, flag each end and curl a little with the bone folder and glue to the angel right above her hands.

Don't forget to sign and date the back of your angel.

  3. She is darling and what a cute ornament for the tree. Add a name on her and give her to that special daughter or granddaughter. Or put it on top of a package. Thanks so much for sharing this. It is a great idea. Love your blog.
