Nacho Dahlia

Happy Nacho Tuesday Stampers! Hope your week is going well.  Thanks to all of you who joined us last week for our Nacho color challenge, it was great to see your creations. This week we have a new sketch for you to try out. We hope you will join us.

I inked up the new background stamp set Definitely Dahlia with Blackberry Bliss onto Watercolor Paper. I layered my card onto Mint Macaron, one of our new InColors. Thanks for stopping by today, until next time. 

Below is everything I used to create my card:

Nacho Tuesday!

Happy Nacho Tuesday Stampers! I'm back to creating with my fellow Nacho Average Challenge Designers. Feels good to create again. We have a fun color challenge for you this week, we hope you will join us. Remember the link closes on Sunday, 11:59 pm MST.

 I inked up a new stamp set from the Annual Stampin' Up! Catalog called You've Got This. I spritzed water onto the stamp before I stamped it onto the watercolor paper. Even though these colors remind of Halloween, I wanted to use them in a different way. Really like how it turned out.

Below are all the supplies I used to create my card. Thanks for stopping by today, until next time.

Nacho Thanks...In Colors!

Happy Tuesday Stampers! Hope your week is off to a great start!  Mine is as I'm finally back sharing a new Nacho Average Challenge creation.  Yes, it has been a long time!  It feels good to create and share with you all. I hope you will join us and create with us.

For my creation, I combined old with new. The stamp set is one that was featured during Sale-A-Bration this year and no longer available. However, using one of the brushstroke stamp from Work of Art, I used our NEW Stampin' Up! In-Colors for 2015-2017. Love the clever names of our colors.

In case you haven't heard what the colors are, from left to right, we have Cucumber Crush, Delightful Dijon, Mint Macaron, Top Top Taupe and Watermelon Wonder. Aren't those great titles! But for Tip Top Taupe, they all make me hungry!  Who doesn't want some Watermelon Wonder and Cucumber Crush, especially during the summer months! For dessert, you can have a Mint Macaron! Which color is going to be your favorite?

Thanks for stopping by today.  Until next time!

Nacho Tree

Happy Tuesday Stampers! We have a fun new color challenge for you to try out this Nacho Average Tuesday. We hope it will inspire you to create alongside us this week.

This is how our colors inspired me, I did use a few more neutral colors like Whisper White and Crumb Cake but I used Pear Pizzazz as my tree branches and Garden Green as the grass. 

Thanks for stopping by today. Until next time. 

Nacho Day

Happy Nacho Tuesday Stampers! We have a fun new Nacho sketch for you to play along with. Come check us out so you can see what my fellow designers created.

Here is how our sketch inspired me: 

The colors I used for my creation are Crushed Curry, Daffodil Delight, Melon Mambo, Pumpkin Pie and Whisper White. I also used the Best Year Ever DSP and Irresistibly Yours Speciality DSP from Sale-a-Bration. 

Thanks for stopping by today. Until next time. 

Nacho...Stache

Hello Stampers! It's Tuesday, which you know what that means, right? It's Nacho Tuesday and that means we have a new Nacho challenge. This week we have a color challenge for you to play along with us. Make sure you check out our blog for inspiration with this color combo.

Initially, this color combo had me stumped. I punch out some bows with the bow builder punch then, sponged the IrresistiblyYours DSP, which is featured in the current SAB catalog.  I really like this DSP. Then I got stuck, so I kept it simple. Does that ever happen to you?

Thanks for stopping by today, until next time. 

Nacho Dahlias

Happy Nacho Tuesday Stampers! We have a fun new Nacho sketch to inspire you this week. Hopefully it will inspire you to create with us. Make sure you check out our blog for more inspiration with this sketch.

I also was inspired by the color combo over at Create with Connie and Mary. Yellow and Black are two of my favorite combos. 

Here is how I combined both challenges:

Thanks for stopping by today. Hope you have a great week.

Hello Stampers! Hope your week is going well.  We have a beautiful Nacho Average color combo challenge for you to play along with this week.

Below is how I combined both challenges: 

This is such a pretty color combo and I can't wait to see how it inspires you. Thanks for stopping by today! Until next time. 

Nacho Bow...

Happy Tuesday Stampers! We have a fun Nacho color challenge for you today!  Come check us out and see how my fellow designers used this color combo in their creations today.

This color challenge did throw me for a loop, initially...but then I decided to keep it simple. LOVE the new Bow Builder punch from the Occasions catalog! I've been having fun making super cute bows, especially ones that the I can put on my cards. 

Thanks for stopping by today! Until next time.

Nacho...Happy!

Happy Nacho Tuesday Stampers. Hope your week is going well. We have a fun new Nacho sketch for you to create alongside with us this week. We hope you will join us.

This sketch really through me for a loop, as I had so many ideas of how to use the sketch and I didn't want to use something similar as my fellow Nacho Designers. So I made a happy card instead, as I love the sentiment from the stamp set Hello Life. 

Thanks for stopping by today, until next time. 

Nacho...Lotus

Happy Nacho Tuesday Stampers! Hope your week is off to a great start. We have a fun new Nacho color challenge for you starting today. We hope you will join us and create along side us. Which, by the way, thank you to all of you who joined us for our sketch last week, you all rocked it!

I was inspired by the sketch at Sktech Frenzy Friday for my creation today. I've been having fun playing along with their challenges lately. Go check them out. 

The stamp set I used is one that you can earn right now during Sale-a-Bration, called Lotus Blossom. 

I decorated the inside of my card as well. Thanks for looking today, until next time. 

Nacho Love!

Happy Tuesday Stampers! Welcome to our first Nacho Average sketch for 2015! We hope you will join us throughout the year and create with us!

Here is how our sketch inspired me:

It's a simple sketch that you can use in many ways! I really like the Something Borrowed DSP which is featured in the new 2015 Occasions Catalog. Which, by the way, today is the first day that you can order from it! 

Thanks for stopping by today, until next time.

Nacho Sketch

Happy Nacho Tuesday Stampers! Quick post today as it is the week of Christmas for me and still have lots to do and catch up. If you celebrate Christmas, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas with your family and loved ones.

We have a fun new sketch for you this week, come check us out. If you have a free moment to create with us this week, we would love that.

I created a general holiday card, which I'll personalize the sentiment inside the card. 

Thanks for stopping by today. Until next time. 

Nacho...Lagoon

Happy Nacho Tuesday Stampers! Hope your week is going great! We have a new color challenge at Nacho Average Challenges and we hope you will create along with us.

When I started putting together my supplies to create my card for this week's challenge. I realized I was completely out of Lost Lagoon and Pear Pizzazz card stock. However, I did have ink and markers. so I tried a technique called stamping with acrylic blocks. I really like the way my card came out. Very fun technique and I hope you will try it out.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Until next time. 

Nacho Sketch

Happy Tuesday Stampers!  Hope your week is going well.  Can you believe it, I'm finally posting on a Tuesday! And it's a Nacho Tuesday! I've been such a slacker and have neglected my duties as a Designer for Nacho Average Challenges. I appreciate that Tammy has been patient with my lack of creations but it's not fair to my fellow designers with my lack of participation. I'm stepping down as a Nacho Designer. It's been an awesome ride and I've been creatively challenged. Thank you again!

So for my final creation as a Nacho DT member, my inspiration for my card today came from the Nacho sketch. Hope it will inspire you to create with us this week.

I created an monochromatic card of Whisper White, with some Shimmery White and Silver. I'm catching up on my Christmas cards so I made two of the same cards, might as well since I'm already cutting the paper. I used the stamp set Bright and Beautiful. 

Thanks for stopping by today. Until next time! 

Nacho Stripes....

Hello Stampers!  We have a fun sketch for you to try this week at Nacho Average Challenges and we hope you will join us! We love seeing your creations.

Below is how our sketch inspired me: 

I also used the current color combo from Create with Connie and Mary this week to create a simple Halloween card. I'm slowly getting back into the swing of creating and crafting. 

Thanks for stopping by today! Until next time. 

Nacho Fall!

Happy Nacho Tuesday Stampers!  We have the perfect Nacho color challenge to kick off the fall season! We hope you will join us this week and create with us! We love seeing your creations!

I also used the sketch from Techno Stamper for my creation today:

Hope your first day of fall is a great one! Thanks for stopping by today! Until next time. 

Nacho...Rain

Hello Stampers!  Happy Tuesday!  We have an awesome color challenge for you this week, we hope you come out and create with us at Nacho Average Challenges. We love seeing your creations. My fellow Nacho created awesome projects with this color combo.

Here is how our color challenge inspired me:

I made a CAS (Clean and Simple) card. I used the stamp set called Life's Adventure and it's one of the hostess sets you can earn. Super cute set. It's been raining a lot here in Phoenix. Our street was once again flooded and although I love the rain, it has been a challenge to deal with all the water. Thankfully, our house has not flooded, but several neighbors homes have. Anyhow, one day at at time. Thanks for stopping by today, until next time. 

Nacho MDS

Happy Tuesday Stampers! Hope September is off to a great start for you! Can't believe we are entering the last four months of the year!

We have a fun new sketch for you starting today at Nacho Average Challenges. We hope you will join us and create with us this week, we love seeing your creations.

I chose to make an My Digital Studio (MDS) card for this week's challenge. Feel like I still need to practice creating and designing with MDS. :)
