SnapFix: the official newsletter of Mosaic Moments®
MOSAIC MOMENTS® PRESENTS:
Hey There
I want to take a moment to talk with you—heart to heart—about some of the changes happening behind the scenes here at Mosaic Moments.
One question we know may be on your mind
is where our dies will be made going forward. After our U.S. die manufacturer closed unexpectedly, we had to make the tough decision to have all of our dies produced in China. The truth is, there simply aren’t any other manufacturers available who produce thin steel dies—except in China.
Our goal with this shift has been to offer you
the same great quality at much lower prices, and while that’s still our plan, new tariffs have made it more challenging than we anticipated.
That said, we hope that this is temporary, and in time, you’ll see prices come down even more. What hasn’t changed is our commitment to you—your creativity, your stories, and your trust mean
everything to us.
Now for the BIG announcement...
I’m thrilled to introduce the first—Cutting Edge News! 🎉
This is your VIP pass to feature die releases, giving you a heads-up before they officially DROP at SNAPNCROP.COM. No guessing
what will be available—you’ll always be in the know!

If you have never used the X Factor dies before, now is the time to start collecting design ideas in anticipation of the die drop. Jodi's X Factor layout above is a great example of an X Factor layout you may
want to recreate with your own photos. She used three of the X Factor dies.
What the dies she used look like:
X Factor Dies
Here's the X Factor 4x4 Plus Layers Die Set (L3) (center in blue), the X Factor 3x4 with Cross Die (L3) (left in pink), and the X Factor 2x4 Die (L3) (right in purple).
These dies are so fun to use—and the best part is how many different layouts you can make with just these three! They give your pages a bold, creative look without being hard to use. Once you try them, you’ll find yourself reaching for them again and again… and you just might want to collect them all!
Above Layout Features: 12x12 Atlantic Grid Paper from the Barrier Islands Collection, Grey Cardstock, Pattern paper from
Pebbles™.
These 12 videos will show you how to use the X Factor Dies and give you lots of layout ideas to spark your creativity. Save the playlist so you can watch anytime it’s convenient for
you—whether you’re ready to dive in now or just need a little inspiration later!
Making a single row on your page with a couple of the X Factor dies is a great layout for beginners.
You can make it purely decorative with texture photos and pattern
paper. It gives you a great first X Factor page, and it looks amazing! Paije used the X Factor 3x4 with Cross and X Factor 2x4 for her layout. She added pattern paper to make a series of diamonds in a row and then filled in the other spots with close-up photos of the shells she found.
Above Layout Features:12x12 Springwater Grid
Paper (discontinued), and pattern paper from BoBunny™.
The Side by Side 2x4 Set & Pieces (L3) makes just as thrilling layouts as the
X Factor dies.
This is one you won't want to miss when the dies drop on May 15th.
There are many different layouts you can make with the Side By Side Dies. You can make both small and large layered diamonds and triangles. You can make your diamonds look interlocking and connected or make them look separate and unconnected. Paije designed her Side by Side layout above to look like she has four unconnected diamonds.
Side by Side Dies
The Side by Side 2x4 Set & Pieces set (L3) has two main dies and 15 die pieces included in the package.
You'll be able to fill your Side by Side 2x4s quickly and easily with all of the
extra pieces conveniently included for you. Another exhilarating fact about the Side by Side dies is that you can combine them with X Factor collection! There's an explosion of layout ideas when you combine these two exhilarating dies.
There's a
whole world of layout possibilities with the X Factor dies and the Side by Side dies. Be sure to pick them both up during the Die Drop, May 15th!
Above Layout Features: 12x12 Pumpkin Pie Grid Paper, and pattern paper from Simple Stories™ and Carta Bella™.
