A Gothic Classic Pop-Up Book

This card was made for Craft Roulette #237 whose parameters included a pop-up card, Trick or Treat colors, boutique, and jewelry.

I chose to make Mary Shelley’s gothic novel Frankenstein as a pop-up book card using dies by Scrappy Tails.

Watch the process video to see how I made this card.

Cardbase: The card base is made using the Scrappy Tails A7 Pop up Book die set. (I apologize for not having included video of the frame assembly.) The accordion fold pages frame that goes inside the book card can be seen in an assembly video by the designer by clicking here.

Sentiments: The “Halloween Greetings” is a stamp from PoppyStamps. The “Boo-tique Books specializing in Gothic Novels” was computer generated and die using a label die from the Scrappy Tails Life is a Story die set.

Envelope: The card fits into a catalog (6×9-inches) size envelope. “This book belongs to…” is stamped in black on the envelope flap.
