Valentine's Petal Cone Treat Box!!!

Hello My Dear Friends,
I got this new Petal Cone die from Stampin' Up and had to show you all how cute it is for a Valentine's treat box!!! I was going to emboss the Petal Cone to show you all one of the new Letterpress plates but, I completely forgot and I had already used the sticky strip to put the cone together:( oh darn! but I think it turned out alright!!! The petal Cone is from the Occasions Mini Catalog which will be available starting  Jan 4th - April 30th, 2011. The die also comes with the label I used to stamp my sentiment.  Isn't the Petal cone treat box adorable? All I have to do is add some chocolate kisses inside and it's all ready to put a smile on someone!! I hope you all like it. If you have any questions about any of the products I used or availability feel free to e-mail me at nlpimentel@aol.com .  Thank you and enjoy!!!
