My first year as a Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator, I earned the Rising Star award along with five very talented stampers. We’ve become great friends in the two years since then – we even keep in touch with our own private Facebook group! Five of us had a card swap for the new Holiday Catalog, and today’s post is about those cards. Be sure to click through to everyone’s blog to see just how talented they are!

Here are the Rising Star swap cards:
