Oh, Baby!!

I won the Heartfelt Creation Sweet Lullaby Collection in a (Pinterest) Pin to Win give-away.  I was doing some late night pinning on Pinterest on my IPad (I have insomnia problems) and there was my name...I literally shook and then I woke up Dear Hubby, which is not nice as he gets up at 4:30 all the time for work.  I was so excited!!  I got up and grabbed my laptop in the livingroom and emailed HC!  I didn't get much sleep that night!!  And when it came in the mail, I was overwhelmed......and that started my love for Heartfelt Creations.  They touched my heart and I found something that making cards, (something that I didn't even like doing) as the outlet I needed for my creative side.  Ok, enough of the history lesson....

OH, Baby!!  One on the left was done with light blue Colorbox Ink from a multiset that didn't have a name as was the pink one.  The gold one in the middle was embossed with gold.  That one is so much prettier than in the picture.  They are layer up with foam tape.  

I had orginaly threaded the ribbon through the umbrella and noticed if I touched it, it would push out.  I didn't want that to happen.  So I did a little thinking and decided to encase the ribbon....I cut just the edge part of the umbrella --see pic below--bone folder is pointing at the piece,  I fussy cut to match the umbrella.

Then I threaded the ribbon through the umbrella--see pic below--and the bone folder is pointing at the finished piece.

I turned over the umbrella so that the flat part faced up--see pic below--then the little piece that I cut, I glued that over to match the underside of the umbrella.  That will keep the ribbon from pushing back out.  Make sure that you watch to make sure the pieces match, I accidentally transposed one and it didn't line up and I ended up making a new piece.  Lesson learned!
