From the fellow in the Big Red Suit!

I love the Santa Tummy theme.
Square Real Red C/Stock, Whisper White cut 1/4 " smaller than the Real Red.  Stamp white after you cut, saves paper.  Black C/Stock belt, 1" square buckle, square black added for dimension.  Mini pegs from Spotlight.  Double sided tape to peg top, cut patterned paper strip to length of peg, place short edge of paper on peg edge, cut paper using the opposite side of the peg as your line. Glue and cut basically as you go. I've added small scallop punch c/stock with a Christmas theme stamp on white, punched with a smaller circle punch.  Glue spot together and onto peg.
 
Rosettes
The hardest thing about rosettes are calculating the length you will need to make a full rosette. 
The wider the strip the longer you will need.  2" wide strip will need at least 12" of paper.  All my rosettes are scored at 1/4" then hand concertinaed and joined with double sided tape in to a circle.
Then teased into the round shape, held down and hot glued in the centre with small c/stock circles. front and back so they hold firm.


This time rosettes made into gift tags. 
An Elf tummy in greens and red would be fun for the kids as well.
