What Are Mosaic Moments Explore Level Dies?

Explore dies are the essentials of your Mosaic Moments die collection. They fit the grid, take the least time to plan, are great for beginners, are fabulously designed to add interest to your pages, and are easiest to use.

Mosaic Moments dies have been placed into three levels for your convenience: Explore Level 1, Discover Level 2, and Adventure Level 3.  These levels help you understand how much time and energy you will need to complete a layout with them. Explore dies offer the basic shapes you need to create fabulous pages in a snap! Though this die level requires the least amount of pre-planning, it doesn't disappoint your desire for variety and creativity. In addition to the Basic Bundles,  the Explore Level includes dies that frame photos and dies that add interest in those "extra spots" on your page.

Mosaic Moments has two basic die bundles that you will want first - the Basic Die Bundle and the optional Layering Die Bundle.

The layout above uses only these basic dies and look how amazing it is! While you could hand cut your mats and photos, being able to run dies through your die cutting machine will save you so much time!

The Basic Die Bundle comes with 5 Basic Die Sets, A, B, C, D, and E. Each die set is color coordinated with the Pattern Gallery, has dies that fit the grid, and includes layering dies that give you a 1/4" layers. It also comes with the 1in grid die for 4x6 photos.

The Layering Die Bundle comes with 5 Layering Die Sets A,B,C, D, and E that color coordinate with the Basic Die Bundle but in pastel. These Layering Dies give you 1/8" and 3/8" layers. They do not fit the grid.

Your photos will shine bright just like the "sunflower" on the page above!

Jodi used two different sized Stitches Frames in her layout above. One of the great things about the Stitches Frames is that they give you lots of space to embellish. Jodi was able to add different colored leaves in the corners of her frames and the year and name of her little one.

Scallop Mat Dies

"Thankful & Blessed" by Jodi Benson - Pattern #596


Scallop mats don't fit the grid - they are meant to layer over the design spots.

There are three scallop mat sets A, B, & C that coordinate with the Basic Die and Pattern Gallery colors. There are also two Scallop Dot Mats die sets and two sets of Circle Scallop Mats.

Scallop mats add a softer feel to your pages. They can also add interest, bring focus to your most important photos, and embellish design spots.

You can see above, Jodi used scallop mats behind her photos of the happy little girl in overalls and with a circle scallop mat as an embellishment in the page's center 2x2 design spot that has the title, "Thankful & Blessed".
