RemARKably Creative Blog Hop

Welcome to the RemARKably Creative Blog Tour!

This month we are showcasing new products. I have been in a Christmas in July frame of mind. That's because I am addicted to Christmas. You can never start too early when you are an addict like me. So today I want to share a card that I made using the new Mistletoe Season stamp set. This is a Two-Step stamp set. That means there are stamps that are meant to be layered. In this case there is a background mistletoe stamp and a detail mistletoe stamp. But really when I was looking at them, they could be used all on their own.
