Month Three includes the Break Away Dies.

    This die set includes seven dies with multiple layout options.

    The main pieces (shown in purple and blue) can be combined in different ways to create shapes that fit the Mosaic Moments® Grid Paper. The long hexagon-shaped die is used in every arrangement:

    • Use two skinny edge pieces (shown in blue) to create a design that fits 4x4 squares
    • Use one skinny edge and one wide edge piece (shown in purple) to create a 4x5 shape
    • Use two wide edge pieces to create a shape that fits 4x6 squares

    The set also includes:

    • Two optional layering dies (shown with purple dots)
    • Two accent dies designed to add extra detail and interest to your Break Away layouts.

    To add an extra hexagon shape to the middle, Paije created two 4x5 sized shapes with the Break Away die set.

    Notice the two bottom photos - they are placed to the outer left and outer right  of the page.

    This will leave space for a third hexagon.
