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.

Using the Dracula costume and dress dies from the “Classic Mouse Costume Party Etched Dies” and “ Classic Mouse Wedding Etched Dies” sets, I created mice dressed as Dracula and made a pop-up card that looks as if they’re flying on a bat. When you open the card, it looks as if they’re really floating through the air.
のドラキュラコスチュームとドレスのDieを使って、ドラキュラに扮したマウス達を作り、こうもりに乗って飛んでいるかのようなPop up Cardを作りました。カードを開いたときにふわふわと本当に飛んでいるかのようです。
I imagined a mouse dressed as Dracula riding a bat back into the room. Blood-red moonlight streams in through the window, and the black curtains are decorated with spiderwebs and red spiders. Candles burn eerily atop skulls, and a spooky atmosphere fills the room.
Using the skeleton, candle, and witch's leg dies from Craftoween Days 2, 7, and 12, I made a candlestick by placing a candle on top of the skeleton's head.
I cut the moon out halfway and arranged three bats around it so they would be visible through the window frame.
月の背景の紙は半分にカットし、その周りには、窓枠から見えるようにこうもりを3匹貼りました。
Glue moonlit paper to the back of the background, and arrange the window frame, curtains, and candlesticks.
月明かりを表現した紙を背景の裏側に貼り付け、窓枠、カーテン、燭台を配置します。
Fold the 1-inch and 0.5-inch strips of paper according to the dimensions shown in the photo below, then glue the ends together to make two large and two small paper tubes.
I think the next post on the “Classic Mouse Costume Party” page will finally be the last one. I’m getting excited thinking, “I guess that’s the one left…” and I can’t wait to show it to you all .I'll do my best to finish the pop-up book by Halloween.
