Happy Little Stampers was created in 2015 by Kylie (owner of ATSM and ATCAS). Kylie wanted to bring out a line of stamps that were useful for every day crafters. From cute to whimsical images, from everyday to funky sentiments there is something for everyone!

You could win a $15 certificate to the shop



We have the pleasure of welcoming a wonderful guest Designer for this challenge -

The winner of Challenge #78 (Dimension) was Ardyth Percy-Robb, and she has agreed to be our Guest Designer for this challenge!



I’m so thrilled to have been asked to be GD at ATCAS this week! Like many stampers, I fell in love at a Stampin’ Up! Party and have never looked back. I started my blog, MASKerade in January 2012. I live in Toronto, Canada and am currently a SAHM to my teenage son and daughter. 

I love clean, graphic design with bold colours and lots of white space. My favourite cards are the ones where stamps are used in unexpected ways to create something completely different.


Now onto our inspiration for you

Our first Guest Designer for 2016 is incredibly talented, and the winner of Challenge #76 (Hero):



Hi, my name is Elizabeth Stewart and I live in New Canaan, Connecticut with my Goldendoodle, Quinn. I have been making cards for over 20 years. I was first intrigued with card making on a visit to the design offices at Hallmark…and thought what fun! All those colors, the papers, markers, the ideas! Since then my passion and crafting space has only grown. In 2005, I avidly joined Cards for Heroes (later Operation Write Home), began reading blogs, and eventually making more than 11,000 cards over the years for the operation. This summer when OWH closed its doors, I decided to jump into challenges. The experience over the last six months has been wonderful…pushing me out of my comfort zone of CAS, introducing me to new card makers and their techniques. Cards are my “5 minute immersion into creativity” that I look forward to each night after my day job as a researcher at a major biotech. I hope 2016 brings more challenges and a blog! I feel very fortunate to be a part of this amazingly talented and welcoming community.

Here we go with our inspiration
