here: http://www.frenchiestamps.com/2010/08/ornament-punch-roses-vidow.html
except she used the SU ornamental punch...GORGEOUS ISN'T IT!!!! but I wanted something with hearts for a HEART PATIENT. So I followed her directions but used these hearts from the Create a Critter cart. Cut at 1.75h and cut 29 of them.

I put the flower in a vase and made this tag, its better than Hallmark cuz it came from MY HEART and not my crown...LOL

This years Christmas cards. I got the idea from the MB last year it was created by "Lena's Creations".  On the outside I used Plantin Schoolbook  and Don Juan  for the lettering, SU Sweet treat cups and stamp set. I filled in the hook with glue and added glitter. for the face I used a Peachy Keen face stamp. Cardstock used was SU: Ruby Red, Handsome Hunter and Close to Cocoa, the white cs is from a LSS. Then added some ribbon I had. The inside was done on the computer. I also created a "trap door" so they wouldn't have to tear up the card to get the candy. Oh, I filled it with red M&M's.

Here's some sour cream containers I made for my co-workers....I only need 50 but these are so fun and easy I made 100!!! ROTFLOL... I got the idea from: 
http://shesasassylady.blogspot.com/2010/12/simple-christmas-favors.html
I got the paper at a LSS to get more containers on a 12x12 I cut the pieces at 4 x 3-1/2 (you'll get 9 containers) and on an 8-1/2 x 11 I cut the pieces at 4-1/4 x 3-1/2 (you'll get 6 containers).
I ran red tacky tape along the two long sides then on one short side and brought the two short sides together slightly over lapping to form a tube. Seal one end and crimp it, fill with M&M's and seal it and crimp it. I also made a tag. I used a 1-3/4 round SU punch and using Justrite stamps 1-5/8 round "Merry Little Christmas" stamp set  and applied it to the containers with a glue dot.
