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.

The collection features original designs of autumn scenery in Kyoto. By using the included press plates Scenic Kyoto Press Foil Plates —either with foil or ink—you can imprint the outlines of these beautiful landscapes onto your paper. You can then use stencils to add color, allowing you to capture the atmosphere and palette of any of the four seasons. Also included is a "Shoji Screen" 3D embossing folder, along with a collection of dies and stamps designed to help you create charming KOKESHI dolls—complete with various hairstyles, kimono patterns, and accessories. By freely combining different colors and designs, you can craft your own unique KOKESHI dolls that reflect your personal style. Happily, all of these sets also include a Japanese maple die that is not available for individual sale.
Using the "Scenic Kyoto Press Foil Plates , I applied "Staz On PIGMENTO Piano Black" ink and used the Better Press system to create an impression. For another piece, I used a hot foil machine to apply gold foil.
Scenic Kyoto Press Foil Plates に「StazOn PIGMENTO Piano Black」インクを塗布し、Better Pressシステムを使用して型押しを行いました。また別の作品では、ホットフォイルマシンを用いてゴールドのフォイルを施しました。
The cover features a circular cutout, with narrow strips of paper applied across it in a grid pattern to evoke the look of a *shoji* (traditional Japanese paper screen).
For another piece, I applied Versa Mark ink to a "Shoji Screen 3D Embossing Folder and ran it through the machine. Versa Mark is a type of oil-based ink—also known as "watermark" ink—that can be used to create variations in the tone of paper. It is ideal for highlighting the details of raised or recessed areas when using embossing folders on dark-colored paper.
別の作品では、「障子」の模様が施された3DエンボスフォルダーShoji Screen 3D Embossing Folderにバーサマーク（VersaMark）インクを塗布し、専用の機械に通しました。VersaMark（バーサマーク）は、「ウォーターマーク」インクとも呼ばれる油性インクの一種で、紙のトーンに変化をつけることができます。濃い色の紙にエンボスフォルダーを使用して凹凸を出す際、その細部を際立たせるのに最適です。

Apply Kaleida color ink in "Desert Heat" to white cardstock by rolling a brayer over it.
When the card is folded, a charming KOKESHI doll—peering out from a latticed window at the autumn foliage of Kyoto—appears to be welcoming you, accompanied by vibrant maple leaves. Upon opening the card, the full, breathtaking autumn scene is revealed. It is a truly beautiful card, perfectly suited for announcing the arrival of autumn in Japan.
