"Beautiful Spring 2022" by Paije Potter - Pattern #953
Hello
If you’ve been feeling like your pages need a little extra something—a spark, a twist, a fresh burst of creativity—then it’s time to pull out your X Factor Dies!
I get so excited every time I use them. There’s just something magical about those dynamic angles and bold designs. Even the most ordinary photos suddenly feel more special when they’re framed in an X Factor layout. It’s the perfect way to add drama and movement without making things too complicated.
Whether you go full-on wow-factor or keep it clean and modern, these dies make every page feel like a celebration. Keep scrolling because our design team has some fun ideas to help you get started on your own X Factor pages.
Don't have X Factor yet? Set a reminder for our next Die Drop Date on MAY 15 @ 10 AM EDT. X Factor will be available again for a limited time.
Have a you're-worth-it week!

"Spring Photos at SUU" by Jodi Benson - Pattern #1097
Dies Needed to Create this Look:
X Factor 4x6, Layer & 2x2 (in the X Factor 4x6, 3x4, 2x2 Set)
X Factor 4x5 & Layer (in the X Factor 4x5 & 2x3 Set)
X Factor 1x4 (in the X Factor 1x4 & 1x2 Set)
The X Factor dies are a collection
based on x's where leading lines cross all over your page to make combinations of crosses, diamonds, triangles and star shapes on your layout.
The main characteristics of the dies are the leading lines that create these fun and exciting layouts. They are Adventure
Level (L3) dies, so they create die cuts with 1/8 inch outlines with leading lines that connect to and cross one another. There are frame dies, double X Factor dies, and small dies that can be purely for embellishing while maintaining the leading lines.
These are exciting
and fun dies to scrapbook with, plus the end results look so impressive!

You have heard that X Factor has leading lines, but what exactly are they?
Leading lines are lines on a layout that draw your eye across a page. When you have many of them crossing your page, it allows your attention to be placed on all of your photos throughout the layout. Your brain and your eye love this assistance and is one of the things that makes a pleasing design. The lines also allow you to add lots of details for
the viewer to discover.
The X Factor dies have many leading lines, and by your choice of X Factor die you can choose where those lines end up. It's very stimulating, and you'll find that you love coming up with different combinations and looks.
