Using the "Classic Mouse" character, I created a "Book Page" that features a unique mechanism: as the card is opened, the mouse pops up and performs a little dance. For this project, I incorporated elements from the "Halloween Costume Party" set, the "Skeleton" dies from "Craftoween" (Day 7), and various pieces from the "Hero Arts Heroween" collection—specifically the tree (Day 5), the fence (Day 6), and the gravestones and grass (Day 9). This page is intended to be part of a larger pop-up book, joining other pages I have previously created.
Classic Mouse の Halloween Costume Party とCraftoween Day 6 のSkelton Dies とHero Arts Heroween のDay5の木 Day7の柵 Day9 のお墓や草のダイを使って、オリジナルのギミックを使ってClassic Mouse がカードを開いたときにポップアップ＋ダンシングするBook Pageを作りました。これは以前のPagesと合わせてPop Up Bookにする予定です。
Gimmick instructions
仕掛けの説明
Create three bases for the pop-up mechanism, each positioned 3/4 of an inch from the main base. For each of the three 2" x 3" pieces of cardstock, score lines at 0.5 inches and 3/4 of an inch from the edge.
Fold it diagonally along the cut line, as shown in the photo.
それを写真のようにカットした線に対角に折ります。
Open them up as shown in the photo and push them toward the back.
写真のようにそれらを開いて奥に押し込みます。
Apply the mechanism to the shaded area.
斜線の部分に仕掛けを貼ります。
Draw the key part of the gimmick as shown in the photograph.
Starting from the center of a 2 cm circle, draw a 1.5 cm line downward; use this as the height to draw a 1.5 cm horizontal line, then connect the ends to form a right-angled triangle.
From the point where the circle and the triangle intersect, draw a line perpendicular to the base of the triangle.
You can create two such pieces using the base of the same triangle.
ギミックの重要な部分を写真のように書きます。
２cmの円の中心から下に1.5cmの線を描き、それを高さにして横に
1.5cmの線を描きそれらをつないで直角三角形を描きます。
円と三角形が交差した点から、円と三角形の底辺に垂直に線を描きます。
同じ三角形の底辺を使って同じものを２つ作ることができます。
Cut along the red line.
赤い線でカットします。
Fold up the triangular arm sections, bring them together, and join them.
３角形のアームの部分を折り上げて２つを合わせて貼ります。
Also join the parts where the circles overlap.
また、円が重なり合っている部分もつなぎ合わせます。
Also, join the parts where the circles overlap.
これを一つのマウスに２つ使うので４つ作ります。
Attach them to the triangular, shaded sections. It is best to leave a small gap from the center line; otherwise, the piece will not fold correctly.
When the mechanism is folded, it points diagonally to the left; when expanded, it points diagonally to the right.
When the pop-up is in a vertical position, the arrow points upward. Marking it this way ensures you won’t be confused about the orientation when attaching elements.
The distance from the center of the circle for each mechanism is 3 cm.
互いの仕掛けの円の中心からの長さが３cmになります。
As shown on the right in the photo below, the mechanism moves in a 90-degree (quarter-circle) arc; therefore, the background must be cut out to match this shape.
For the background and the background of the pop-up element, I used the "Skeleton" die from Craftoween Day 6, along with several dies from the Hero Arts "Heroween" — the tree from Day 5, the fence from Day 7, and the gravestones and grass from Day 9—to create this design.
背景とポップアップの背景は、Craftoween Day 6 のSkelton Dies とHero Arts Heroween のDay5の木 Day7の柵 Day9 のお墓や草のダイを使ってこのように作りました。
Next, create the cutout that will serve as the background for the pop-up. Since the positions of the mice are symmetrical, the orientation of the mechanisms and holes will be reversed.
Fold the circle in half and pass it through the cut-out hole from underneath.
円を半分に折り、切り抜いた穴に下から通します。
Attach the top surface of the mechanism to the back of the pop-up background.
仕掛けの上面をポップアップ背景の裏側に貼ります。
Take one of the three base pieces you initially created—the one without any cuts—and trim its adhesive section in half; then, fold the sides inward and attach it to the center of both the pop-up background and the card base background.
Attach the pop-up background—which has a mechanism built into it—to the main background. Hold the edge and move it from side to side to ensure that the circle rotates, tracing a semicircle.
Attach the mouse's head and body to the circle. Use adhesive foam to mount the head so that it sits slightly raised. When doing this, ensure the arrow (↑) on the circle is pointing upward; this indicates the correct orientation.

Spellbinders has released the "Autumn In Kyoto" collection, designed by Alex Syberia. Following the "Spring" version, this "Autumn Kokeshi Dolls Stamp And Die features customizable hairstyles and kimono designs, allowing you to create even more stylish Kokeshi dolls.
Spellbinders から、Alex Syberiaさんデザインの、Autumn In Kyoto Autumn In Kyoto Collectionが発売されました。Springに続きAutumn Kokeshi Dolls Stamp And Die のKokeshi Dollsのダイは、さらにスタイリシュなこけしがデザインできるように、ヘアスタイルや着物のデザインがカスタマイズできる仕様になってます。
I made some small gift envelopes by using stamps, die-cutting decorative paper to create *kimono* outfits, and pairing them with stylishly colored hairstyles. I also had so much fun making *kokeshi* dolls—adding tiny accessories makes them look absolutely adorable—so I ended up creating quite a few of them.
I’ve added touches like blush and eyelashes. You can also incorporate charming accessories, pouches, ribbons, and more—it’s so much fun, I just can’t stop!
The possibilities are truly endless when you factor in all the different kimono and hairstyle combinations.
To make a small gift envelope , take a 6-inch square piece of paper and score it vertically at 1 5/8 inches and 4 5/8 inches; then, rotate the paper and score it at 5/8 inch from the bottom edge and 7/8 inch from the top edge. I cut the four corners so that they extend slightly beyond the fold lines. Glue them together.
These small envelopes will certainly come in handy, as they can be used for occasions like Shichi-Go-San, Coming-of-Age Day, or for giving card (New Year’s monetary gifts).
The *kokeshi* doll motifs can be used as cards or tags, and are also perfect for Japanese-style scrapbooking.

I created two types of cards that are slightly different.: one featuring a red truck driving through a winter forest, and another showing a dark blue truck traveling along a snowy road lined with houses. Both cards transform into three-dimensional "snow globes" when slid open. On the card with the dark blue truck, you can push and pull a tab to make the truck appear as if it is bumping along the snowy road.
I will explain in detail below how these cards were created.
これらのカードをどのように作ったかを下に詳しく説明します。
A mechanism for moving a car interactively
車をインタラクティブに動かす仕かけ：
Die-cut circles for the Snow Globe out of thin paper, then fold each one in half twice to locate the center point. Draw a 1-centimeter circle centered on that point and cut it out.
Using a transparent sheet (a sturdy one—in this case, 0.3 mm shrink plastic), mark the positions of the holes by tracing them with a pen, then punch the holes out. Draw a 1 cm circle, along with a larger, concentric 2 cm circle; then, make four cuts extending inward to the inner circle to create a rivet (a central pivot paper).
This is what it looks like from the back. The transparent sheet is simply threaded onto the rotating shaft.
裏からはこのようになってます。透明シートは回転軸を通しているだけです。
Attach the transparent sheet and the two strips for the pull tabs to the base of the snow globe. When you move the pull tab y, the elements of the car move around the axis of rotation.
透明シートとプルタブ用の２本のバンド部分をSnow Globeの土台に貼ります。
プルタブを引くと、回転軸を中心に、車の要素が動きます。
Snow Globe Pop-up Slider Mechanism :
Snow Globeを立体にするスライドの仕掛け：
Prepare two sheets of paper for the pop-up mechanism, cut to the dimensions below, and color them.
ポップアップの仕掛け用の紙２枚を下記のサイズで作り着色し折ります。
Use the Snow Globe Etched Dies to create a background of houses, then attach the paper intended for the pop-up feature by aligning it with the bottom edge.
Apply white "Neon Amplify" to the paper representing the snowy path in the foreground of the snow globe, then use a heat tool to expand it, creating a texture that resembles accumulated snow.
I stamped a snowflake design onto a transparent sheet using "Staz On Snow Flake" ink. (I ended up deciding against it and removed the stamping.)
透明シートに雪のスタンプを、Staz on Snow Flakeで捺します。（これは、結局やめて消しました）
Place the snow globe cutout—which features an integrated sliding mechanism—onto the background scene depicting houses. Next, attach the pop-up mechanism along the bottom edge; when doing so, apply glue only to the two bands intended for the pull-tab.
Attach the "snow globe"—to which you have added a stamped snow effect—onto the pop-up paper.
最後に雪をスタンプした、Snow Globeを貼ります。
You now have a 3D snow globe that stands up and moves interactively.
Attach this to the card base so that it pops up when you slide it.
これで、立体に立ち上がり、インタラクティブに動くSnow Globeができました。
これを、スライドさせて立ち上がるようにカードベースに貼ります。
Slider card mechanism:
スライダーカードの仕掛け：
Fold the edges of the paper cut with the Quilted Etched Dies at the 0.5-inch and 1-inch marks, then fold it in half by aligning the creases. For the navy paper that holds the slider, cut it to a size 1 cm larger than the card base and fold the front section.
Cut the navy cardstock using the Ripple Rectangle Frames Dies . Then, take light blue and white cardstock—cut using smaller-sized dies from the same set—and layer them together; secure them by attaching a piece of paper to the back so that the entire assembly lies flat.
Quilted Etched Dies でカットしたキルティング模様の紙を、0.5インチ、１インチのサイズで両端を折ります。さらに折り目を合わせて半分に折ります。
Ripple Rectangle Frames Dies を使って、濃い青色（ネイビー）のカードストックをカットします。次に、同じセットの小さめのダイでカットした水色と白のカードストックを重ね合わせ、裏面に紙を貼り付けて全体が平らになるように固定します。
Wrap a one-inch-wide strip of paper around the navy paper and secure it with double-sided tape to create a band for the slider.
幅1インチの紙の帯をNavyの紙に巻き付け、両面テープで留めてスライダー用の帯を作ります。
Align and adhere it beneath the 1-inch section of the Quilted Etched Dies paper.
Thread the slider—which is attached to the quilted-pattern paper—through the navy-colored paper. Adhere the quilted paper to the navy paper at a point 0.5 inches from the edge opposite the slider.
Check to see if it moves like this when you slide it.
スライダーがこのように動くか確認します。
Attach the back and bottom so that the Snow Globe stands upright when the slider is moved.
スライダーを動かしたときにSnow Globeが立つように後ろと下を貼りつけます。
Apply adhesive to the Navy paper, 1 cm from the folded edge, and attach it to the card base (which opens to the side). On the opposite side, adhere a 0.5-inch section.
The sentiments that appear when you slide the piece were taken from the Tim Holtz "Festive Overlay" set. I attached the "'TIS THE SEASON" and "DECK THE HALLS" banners to the base of the Snow Glove.
スライドした時に現れるセンチメンツは、Tim Holtz のFestive Overlayのセットから使いました。Gloveの土台には 「’TIS THE SEASON」「 DECK THE HALL」のバナーを取り付けました。
For this project, I used the "Snow Globe" and "Holiday Truck" etched dies by Simon Hurley to create a snow globe-style card. It features a vintage truck—loaded with a Christmas tree and colorful gifts—driving through a snowy forest and past a row of houses. Another die set, "City Skating Scene Etched Dies By Simon Hurley , has also been released; I’m looking forward to using it—either on its own or combined with this design—to create a shaker card.
ビンテージトラックにクリスマスツリーと色とりどりのプレゼントを積んで雪景色の森の中や家並みを走るシーンのSnow Globeのカードを作りましたが、スケートをするシーンのダイ City Skating Scene Etched Dies By Simon Hurley もリリースされています。こちらも組み合わせて、Shaker card や単独でカードとしても使ってみたいと思います。
