Hello everyone! Thank you so much for reading my review on Rubbermaid Bento Boxes, sharing your organization tips with me and joining the giveaway!

Morning crafters! I am sharing a little pack of digi paper today! I have enjoyed the triangle trend for a while and finally found time to create some freebies.

Valentine's Day is just two weeks away, let's make some lovely holders with hearts on top, shall we? :) Tie some pretty ribbon around your cards and they will still fit ok. :) And this time, I tried something new:) I made a true print-cut-fold-and-done template! Show in the photo below: Fully printed in the front and real washi decorated in the back :) I actually like the printed one better myself:) For flexibility, I threw in a blank printable template as well :) Here is a little preview of the patterned template: I used pastel colors because it helps...
