I've had this Paper Trends book (below) for a couple of years now and have wanted to make these hearts featured inside. I finally got around to it.
Here's the link to the tutorial for the paper rose: http://dozidesign.blogspot.com/2008/05/paper-flower-tutorial.html
I also added some gathered crepe paper to this heart (below) so it would show up better from a distance.
Marshmallow lollipop, below, came from Walmart for only $1.00.
Paper cut-out came from Hobby Lobby last year.
Argh.....I can't remember who showed this idea to us last year! If it was you, please leave me a comment so I can give you credit for wrapping the candles like this. 
I cut it into thirds, and "spread the love". : )

Great idea ~ that marshmallow flower!!
The new look for the glittery heart is super ~ it's amazing what a little bit of change can do!
You sure have been creative I love the way your front door looks and the wrapped candles are very cool! Have a great week. Hugs, Diane
Everything looks so fabulous. Your additions to the heart on the door really made a difference and that little potted marshmallow heart is too cute. All the lovelies on that first paper heart - love that little paper rose!
I'm visiting a friend and her 8 month old baby so I'm not getting any Valentine's decorating up this year - but you're making me wish I was!
I love the hearts you have created. I also love the cut out paper around the candles. I have some pretty candles that my kitten has knocked over and broken - I think I can "mend" them with this cut out paper idea! Blessings to you and yours this week.
How cute! Allie feels a project coming on! Thanks for the inspiration

I love it, love it, love it all! You are just the most fun when it comes to celebrating and rejoicing!
Why can't we live closer together? I lament that every time a holiday rolls around.
You are Martha MacGyver....and no one else comes close!
So cute...your craftiness leaves me GREEn with EnVy!
Wonderful Valentine decorations, especially that lollipop "flower"! I would love to keep making valentine stuff, but I was told that it's a little too valentiney in here, so I guess I'll move on to Easter!
So pretty! Love the heart!
I keep walking by those marshmallow hearts at Walmart restraining myself from buying a ton of them. Looks like I might have lost that battle after seeing your super-cute idea with them!
I just love the heart you made inspired by the PT's magazine. Gorgeous. All your little V'day touches are just too sweet!
You are so clever. I love it all. I got my Valentine box out and spread everything on the table but that is a far as I've gotten this year.
Have a great day, Janis
even if i watched the tutorial...my paper flower would not come out looking like that! You have a talent. You really do!

Fun Valentine decorations. And to think I'm just barely taking down Christmas.
So so cute! One of my daughters is doing a RS lunch and those marshmallow flowers would make great centerpieces or something. Love the candle idea too. Mimi

I'm feelin' the love...super cute projects...love the papercrafts.
WOW-my brain is full now! I must go dig out this issue of Papertrends (which is now called Homemade, btw) magazine and look up that rose. Your decorations are all beautiful and I always love how you take something that is so-so and make it awesome! I would NEVER have looked at these marshmallow pops but do I love the flower it became-I DO! I'm comin' here with a pad and pen next time!

I just love to see what you will come up with for every holiday and season...you don't disappoint! I LOVE the marshmallow flower....it's fabulous!
Paper roses...just the thought of them makes me start singing...I believe Marie Osmond sang that song, way back when.
You are so talented, I love your work and I appreciate it.
I have a black front door with a red heart...I love the color of yours too...adds some zip to the entrance for sure. Have a sweet couple of weeks leading up to Valentines day. It will be fun to see all the postings around the season for sure! Vintage all the way...yeah!
