Stained Glass Angel Ornaments for Spellbinders

Hello cardmakers. The Home Sweet Quilt Collection by Becca Feeken is live at Spellinders and I've taken some liberties with today's project, creating some angel ornaments. I love when you can find other ways to use products, don't you? I've got some tips for putting these together below.

I'm creating with the Quilted Stained Glass Window die set today. To begin, I cut several outline die cuts on black cardstock, making extras to back my finished piece and hide the burlap string. I adhered adhesive sheets before cutting my outline die cuts as well.

Next, I peeled the top off my adhesive liner and applied the black stain glass die cut to my sticky outline. Make sure you pop out all the black pieces and save them for another project if you wish.

I cut 4 different colors of paper using the stain glass die and filled in my empty spaces. I found it easier to use my Spellbinder Tool N One to carefully pop out only one row of colors that I planned to use at a time, while still intact with my die after cutting.

I also used kraft paper and partially ran my stain glass die through my Platinum 6 machine to get those circle faces. 

There's a stitched piece included with the Quilted Stained Glass Window die set just below the stitched banner in the photo below, a stitched flower stem. I die cut two of those and foiled one with my Spellbinders gold foil, simply by running adhesive over it and applying the foil directly. I trimmed pieces to make my angel halos and also trimmed some unfoiled pieces to make the angel "hands" which appear to be holding the banner. Total McGuyver stuff, haha. If you've never seen the old McGuyver tv series, then I'm really showing my age!

I also die cut several of the stitched banners and stamped a sentiment from the Hand Made Holidays clear stamp set. It was a stacked sentiment, so to make it work, I cut my sentiment with scissors and curved it on my Misti stamp positioner to make it fit my banner. It will still stamp properly, the next time I use this sentiment, no worries!

My angel wings were created using the stitched flower insert and outline and I cut these in two different colors. Aren't they the cutest wings? I adhered the burlap string to the back of my angel and made a double loop to hang.

I love how these sweet angels turned out and I hope you'll give this project a try. If you have any other questions, please leave them in the comment section so I can respond, or find this project on my other social media sites and leave your questions.
