Get to know Steffi!
I’m Steffi and I live with my daughter Anni and my husband in a small village in the south of Germany. It is located between Stuttgart and Munich. I started scrapbooking in 2012 when my daughter was born. Back then, I was searching the internet for inspiration for a baby album and I came across the world of scrapbooking!
I started with mini albums. That is also my great passion today. I love to record our journeys, birthdays, small and big moments in albums. In addition, I also like to make layouts. Through layouts, I can live out my creative ideas. Besides scrapbooking, I also like to make decorations. At home, I also get creative together with my daughter. She has the same passion – like me. I have infected her. And I think that is so beautiful.
I also teach scrapbook workshops. I like to meet other people who share the same passion for craft and scrapbooking.
Thank you, Altenew, for having me as a guest designer!! I´m very happy! 🙂
Steffi’s Layout
Hello and welcome to my project, which I created with the great products of Altenew. I have chosen a stamp set with leaves – Layered Laurel Stamp Set, as well as number dies – Bold Numerals Die Set. I already had some Altenew Embossing Powder at home. I like the colors very much!
I’ve had this big picture on my desk for a long time. So far I have created a layout of my daughter every year. The title was always her age.
First, I wanted to concentrate on the 6 years. But I liked it better when all the numbers come on the layout.
First, I punched out the numbers from white cardstock. Then I made myself a small plan, how I would like to arrange the individual numbers? I like to use different techniques, colors, and materials.
First, I wrapped some sewing thread around the first number. The best way to do this is to cut the edge with scissors. This way the thread holds better and doesn’t move. I used glue dots on the back.
With the Golden Peach Embossing Powder, I have also decorated a few numbers. Here, I first worked on the number completely stamping it with some Embossing Ink and then I sprinkled the embossing powder on it. I removed the powder in the middle using a brush.
For the pink number 6, I mixed pink and peach embossing powders.
I inked the number 7 with a stamp pad then covered a piece of cardstock with Platinum Embossing Powder. Next, I punched out small dots with a confetti punch. These, I glued with liquid glue on the number.
I think glitter is great too. 🙂 Here, I first applied liquid glue to the number with a brush. Then I spread the glitter on it.
With sewing thread, I have decorated another number. I punched small holes with a piercer and embroidered it with the thread.
The leaves from the stamp set were also used. I stamped them with different shades of green.
When all the numbers were decorated, I decorated the background with the sentiments from the stamp set. For this, I used a light gray stamp pad and the beautiful words from the stamp set.
Finally, I glued the letters on the photo, as well as the stamped title.
I hope you enjoyed my layout. The stamp and die sets that I used are so versatile. That’s what I like about it. Thank you very much!
