Elegant Angel Tutorial

By Mary Ellen Stites Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator www.CreateWithME.com

Make this beautiful angel

to adorn your tree this season.

Step 1:

Using a circle template (a dinner plate in this instance) trace the circle with your stylus on 12 x 12 Cardstock( color

of your choice). This circle happens to be about 10” which is what I will base this angel tutorial off of but it can be adapted to most sizes. Before tracing place circle off

center so you can use excess for other pieces.

Step 2:

Fold your cardstock circle in half and find center using your grid paper or a ruler and mark clearly. It will be covered later so don’t worry about using a marker or pencil.


Step 3:

Using a Ruler and a Scoring tool score as follows: For a 10” circle score from center to 2.5” on either side of center and then 2” from

either side of those scores. See diagram below.

Step 4:

It’s best to first fold all scores while circle is still in half. Fold them first forward and then backward before opening up full circle. Then you will follow the diagram on the left to create Mountain folds and

Valley folds to create your angels skirt.

See Diagram Below:

Step 5:

Put Angels skirt into the embossing folder as shown. The whole skirt is too large to fit completely in folder and

doing it this way also leaves a pretty pattern on the skirt that can be embellished later with Dazzling Details. Run through the Big Shot with both Multi-‐purpose tabs open.

Remember this is 6 layers thick so go nice and slow and easy, do not force. Then flip and do it again on the other side of the skirt.


These are the pieces you will need to complete your angel.

1-‐10” skirt.

2-‐2 3/8” Scallop Circle Punches from “Hair color of choice”.

2-‐1 ¾” Circles punched from scraps left from skirt.

1-‐1/2’ x 6” strip cut from scraps from skirt.

1-‐Lg Scallop Circle cut from Bigz Die in matching Skirt color. Emboss it with the Elegant Lines Folder and cut in Quarters. You will need 2 of these pieces for each angel.

Step 6:

I found it best to cut a scallop off of each “wing” then embellish with Dazzling Details as shown on top of the elegant lines embossing:


Step 7:

Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to each wing and set aside.

Step 8:

Attach 6” strip to the back of angel’s skirt as shown with SNAIL adhesive. Then fold “arms” forward as shown here:

Step 9:

Attach Wings with Stampin’ Dimensionals as shown.


Step 10: Punch, Assemble and Decorate angels head as shown below.

Step 11: Attach her head to body with sticky strip or a Stampin’ Dimensional or Tombo Mono Adhesive as shown.

Step 12: Attach second circle punch on back to keep head, wings and arms secure and make things look cleanly finished on back.


Step 13: Decorate bottom of Angels skirt with Glass Glitter as shown. Attach Stamped Sentiment to Angels Arms and you are finished with your Angel!
