Create an Ornament from Die Cuts and Stencils! + Blog Hop
Do you like making Christmas ornaments? It’s one of my most favorite traditions. My mom started it when my siblings and I were kids—every year she’d come up with some idea for a creative ornament and we’d make and gift them to our family and friends. I’ve carried that tradition with me and as an addicted crafter, I make something new as an ornament every holiday season!
This ornament project is made with the new Angel Wings stencils and coordinating dies. Having the dies makes it possible to make dimensional cards, tags… or ornaments like this! These are new products from Simon Says Stamp’s And Everything Nice collection!
The best part about making ornaments is the embellishing! I added special details to this piece by using Silver metallic ink and new Silver Sparkle Paste for some of the wing layers. There are pretty sequins scattered across the wings for a twinkle effect. And even down to the silver cording as the ornament string adds to the finished effect!

Nina, your ornament is gorgeous–I love all of the embellishments.
Love all of the inspiration you have given me. As usual you are very talented and love to see your new projects.
Nina you such an amazing designer. I love all of your projects and this one is absolutely beautiful.
Nina, THAT is a beautiful ornament & I can only imagine how it would look hanging on a tree with clear lights reflecting off of the sequins (I say clear because I’m one of those that chooses to only use clear/white lights which wasn’t always popular with my daughters when they were little and hence was born being a multi-tree house where each of them got their own tree in their rooms with their chosen color lights) – this would also be a gorgeous tag, one that the gift recipient could hang on their own tree.
I’m so in love with this!
This is so lovely!! I’m in love with the added layers of shimmer with the paste and the sequins!
Pretty creative ornament.
What a fabulous idea for an ornament! Really lovely.

Ok this is AWESOME!!!
That is stunning! I may have to go back for another shopping trip so I can create this for my tree! TFS!
The colors are a beautiful combination. The other color that kept coming to mind as you worked was pink…and maybe a gold highlight. It might also be cool to leave the edges of the die layers unattached and then bend them so they look feathered and add to the dimension.
The dimension on the wings is just beyond belief!!!
Love these angel wings, as well as many of the other items in this collection,’
Very creative ornament; beautiful!
Love it when you can make different things with the stamps/die cuts.
Neat idea!
