If you CAN, please leave me a quick Yo! Hey! Hi! Wazzup! in the comment box so I know my stuff is WORKING!  ;)

~~ A Halloween Trinket Tutorial AND GIVEAWAY!!!!! ~~

 Miz Paperglitter just landed in Superchickland!  WOOT!

I am honored, the lovely Genevieve, asked me to do a guest blog post for her wonderful readers today.  I am a paper crafting freak. I love all things paper and +LOVE+ printables!

I have been crafting like crazy for this past week using my printables ----I made tons of these kitty necklaces, packaged paper dolls and printed some sweet Halloween Money for the family kids!  I personalized the money and am giving them away as reward money for good behavior :)  Oh wait--what's that in the corner of that photo---could it be?

 Oh heck yeah!  Superchick Stash money!---holla!!!!!!!!! 

 

Today I am sharing what I made the other day using some of the new Halloween printables in my shop. 

First up, I made a Kitty Necklace using Shrink a Dink paper!
(Make sure you follow the manufacturer's instructions on printing and baking this Shrink a Dink paper, super chicas )

I took page 34 from the Halloween party kit (which has a large kitty and spider graphics on it) and printed it on Shrink a Dink paper.  After printing it and letting the ink dry for 5 minutes, I cut the kitty out and punched one hole on each ear using a standard hole puncher.

Then I baked the kitty head (using the instructions that came with the paper).  Look how small it got!

When the kitty head cooled off a bit, I took awesome Martha Stewart glitter and decorated my kitty charm and threaded it on a chain I bought at Jo-Anns. BUT WAIT--that's not the end--little girls like things in pretty packages so I HAD to package this!  So then……

I printed a green pattern from the same kit on cardstock paper and punched 2 little holes in it using a 1/8 hole punch...

 Cut slits on each side to meet the holes…

 Then placed my kitty chain on the back card.

 Look how thick that Kitty charm is--this Shrink A Dink stuff is amazing!

Then using a cello bag to insert the back card and charm in, I topped it off with a personalized bag topper card from the Halloween kit!  Sweet, huh?

Celebrate TODAY

Halloween Costumes are so yesterday!

Halloween Costumes best step off cuz “Kocktail
Krowns” are in the house! 
 
If you own a teen girl, then you KNOW...  Selecting a Costume can be a NIGHTMARE!

Why?  Cuz teen girlies seem to have 2 options... 

Go childish (So not cool!) or go provocative. (So NOT gonna happen!)

They’re too young to “party” yet too old to “trick or
treat”! The injustice of it all!!!

I totally get it!  So I totally fixed it!

Enter THE SUPERCHICK option...

Dare to differ, forget mainstream and BAG the"COSTUME"!!!

Instead... Opt for a themed cocktail hat paired with sharp, even theatrical makeup!

 You heard me! lol

I've designed 3 cocktail hats (AKA Kocktail Krowns!) to help bring my vision to life and help get YOUR creative juices flowing!

Indian!

Butterfly!

 

Pirate!
