This steampunk-inspired art journal page was created using stencils
to add texture and structure to the background.
Chipboards and die-cuts bring dimension, while washi tape and paper scraps create layered details.
Wise quotes were added to complete the page, combining creative design with meaningful words.
Es geht darum, Texturen, Papiere und Emotionen auf einer Seite zu schichten.
This mixed media project brings the fascinating world of steampunk to life in an impressive 3D design. Created on a canvas, added with a wooden frame, which has been treated with artificial rust and crackle effects. The most eye-catching feature is the balcony, carefully crafted from greyboard and enhanced with a decorative metal trim. This special detail adds dimension, texture, and character, making the scene feel vivid and alive.
To complete the composition, chipboards, metal charms and cut-outs were added throughout the artwork. These elements enrich the overall design with layered details, perfectly capturing the industrial elegance and imaginative spirit of steampunk.
Scrapbooking is all about telling stories,
and sometimes the most exciting stories begin when we dare to step out of line.
For this project, I worked with the theme “to step out of line”, which for me means trying something unexpected and embracing creative freedom.
Chipboards played a key role in this layout. I love how they add dimension and structure while still leaving room for creativity. Chipboard elements were altered with Embossing powder, paint and ink to create contrast and rust effects as highlight the focal points of the page.
This creates movement and makes the layout feel dynamic and expressive rather than perfectly aligned.
Scrapbooking doesn’t have to be perfect – it should feel honest, playful, and inspiring.
Next time you create, try to step out of line.
You might be surprised where your creativity takes you.
New Year, new ideas, same love for creativity.
Let’s make this year amazing together!

I created this handmade shadowbox using
layered chipboards and mixed media elements, inspired by a steampunk style.
Gears, metallic textures, and a touch of whimsy come together to
welcome the New Year in a unique way.
Perfect for everyone who loves creative details and a little steampunk magic!
I combined the funny Grinch with a Mad Hatter from the Alice series
and designed depth, dimension, and contrast to create
a mysterious and dramatic atmosphere.
May your creativity never run out.
Let’s do this! 🎨✨
Hello creative friends!
I love our garden, it's my therapie, my escape into nature.
I was also looking for birthday present ideas. As it should be something unusual, I decided on a steampunk-style wall panel to serve as an eye-catching addition to the gazebo.
This is my last DT project for Calico Craft Parts for the time being, as I must go to hospital.

Hoffentlich bin ich bald wieder zurück!!!

Hello!
Today an upcycling project, it was an old wooden frame, now it's an eyecatcher
where you can add an special photo or an wise saying.
I decorated it with a nautilus from a fantasy Steampunk land
and supplemented the nautilus with a kelp, split in the centre,
this is how wonderful tentacles were created. Chain was made with the help of a mould,
on the body I added two cogs, a capnut and a thin metal ornament.

Creative greetings from Kerstin
Hello!
I created a centerpiece for a themed party and decided in favour of the Steampunk style.
I used an old cardboard spool holder and fixed the frame to the top with some pieces of driftwood. It holds quite well, but for greater stability, I would recommend doubling up the frame. On the bottom, I glued three half cogwheels to create a border. As the chipboards are made of cardboard, they can be easily moulded into shape after being lightly moistened.
Ahoi Piratenfreunde!
Ich sah ein grünes Leuchten am Horizont. 👀
Das bedeutet, dass eine Seele aus dem Reich der Toten in die Welt zurückkehrt.
Hier ist sie: die Black Pearl, wie versprochen.
Ich habe es wieder einmal genossen, ein altes Buch aufzuwerten. Die verwendeten MDF-Formen wurden mit ausgestanzten Pappteilen kombiniert, Moulds verwendet für das klassische Piratenzeichen und die Schiffskette, sowie Oktopusarme mit Air drying clay modelliert.

The black pearl has taken off again, and the pirate adventures continue, at least for now.
I made a new shadowbox in grunge style with a touch of steampunk from a kit for a paper lantern.
I used self-produced rust to make everything look as old and cool as possible.
Even in the dark, it catches the eye; in the green glow, it appears on the horizon, having returned from the underworld to the world of the living.
Hello!
Der Fantasie sind keine Grenzen gesetzt, oder?!
und insbesondere das Steampunk-Genre ist eine Welt, in der alles möglich ist,
weil es eine Welt ist, die es nie gab!
