MOSAIC MOMENTS® PRESENTS:
"Sunset Lamp Photo Shoot" by Katelyn Benson
Hello
👻✨ Step carefully, scrapbookers…You’ve just crossed over into The Spiro Zone!
Okay, I couldn’t resist a little spooky-season humor. But
honestly, these Spiro Dies really do feel like stepping into another dimension—where ordinary squares and rectangles just can’t compare. With those swirling circular frames, every layout gets a touch of drama, movement, and wow-factor.
And the best part? Our design team has outdone
themselves again. From back-to-school milestones to fall photo shoots, their Spiro pages are mesmerizing—you’ll see stories unfold in ways you never imagined. (And don't miss the Video - it will take the mystery out of using these fabulous dies.)
So, grab your grid paper (and maybe
a flashlight 😉) and let’s wander into the Spiro Zone together… Because Spiro will be available on Thursday, October 9th at Noon ET.
Have a you're-worth-it week!

A Dimension of Emotion with Spiro Dies
"Here Comes the Bus" by Jodi Benson
Dies needed to create this look:
Spiro
Picture this: you’re not just cutting paper,
you’re stepping into another dimension. A dimension not only of sight and sound, but of memory. The Spiro Dies help you capture the emotions behind your photos in ways that ordinary squares and rectangles just can’t.
Take Jodi’s layout,
Here Comes the Bus. She used the Spiro to frame her granddaughters' first day of school—a big milestone full of excitement, nerves, and new beginnings. The four circular frames become little windows into that moment: waiting, smiling, stepping forward, and finally climbing on. It’s more than a page—it’s a story you can feel every time you look at it.
And the papers? That’s where the Spiro gets even more intriguing. Jodi wove in black-and-white polka dots that cross over one another in the center, adding texture and interest that almost feels otherworldly. Different patterns in each circle keep your eye moving, giving the page rhythm and energy, like stepping through a swirling portal of memory.
When you scrapbook with the Spiro Dies, you’re not just preserving photos—you’re preserving the emotions that make them unforgettable. And in the Spiro Zone, that’s the difference between just making a page and telling the whole, heart-deep “why story.”

Step
carefully—you’ve entered a place where color and words work together with the Spiro die to pull you deeper into your own story.
In Paije’s Richmond 2022 layout, the warm browns mirror the brick buildings and cobblestone streets,
keeping you grounded in the city’s history. Then, without warning, the pinks swirl in like an unexpected twist from The Twilight Zone—suddenly, your eye is caught in motion, moving around the circle, eager to discover what comes next.
And here’s where the journaling changes
everything. Instead of hiding in a box, it curves and flows around the Spiro shapes like whispers from another dimension—guiding you through the streets, the moments, the laughter, and the memories. Your words become part of the design itself, wrapping the photos with meaning and drawing you back into the heart of the day every time you look.
With colors, circles, and curved journaling working together, your page is no longer flat or static. The Spiro die is a portal. One glance, and you’re transported right back to Richmond, walking the streets again—like stepping into another time and place, only this time it’s all your own.

The Spiro Die is Where Shapes Twist and Turn
"Tapping Maples '24" by Lauren Jones
Dies needed to create this look:
Spiro
Basic Die Bundle A-E & 1" Grid - Colored
Imagine stepping into a space where circles don’t just sit quietly on the page—they bend, overlap, and weave together like something out of The Twilight Zone. That’s exactly what happens when you use the Spiro Dies the way Lauren did in her maple-tapping layout.
She overlapped the centers of two Spiro 3x3 die cuts, and suddenly, the design shifted into something unexpected. The inner circular sections, filled behind the outlines, make those outlines stand out like braids of light. What you see is no longer just paper—it’s movement, rhythm, and balance, all working together to pull you in.
And here’s the real twist: the design isn’t just about looking pretty. It makes the whole page feel alive. The Spiro frames the kids, the leaves, and the quiet fall colors, almost like you’re peering through a portal into a crisp autumn afternoon. The braiding effect adds depth, the way an eerie door opens in the show—inviting you to step
through and discover more.
The best part? You can do this, too. With just a Spiro Die, some paper, and your favorite photos, you’ll be amazed at how quickly you can achieve this braided, dimensional look—it’s easier than it seems, and the
results feel out of this world.
