Happy Almost Spring Everyone! I just wanted to share some inspiration with you about one of my favorite Tim Holtz Embellishments - FRAGMENTS! Tim Holtz Fragments are small clear tiles that can be used as an adornment by adhering patterned paper to, or inking, and gluing to scrapbook pages, handmade cards, or any other altered art project! The creative possibilities for these beauties are truly endless!Create custom embellishments by gluing paper to the back of your fragments (Graphic 45 Paper is AWESOME!), color using alcohol ink, use rub-ons, adhere to paper albums, ATCs, and Metal (such as the metal Unmounted Stamp Storage Case!), make into custom jewelry, make mosaics and much much more!
Did you know that Fragments come in THREE styles??? There are the original Square tiles (48 pieces in pack!), the Charms pack (48 Pieces), and the Circle and Oval Pack (47 pieces!). The Circle and Oval pack is now retired, but we have a fabulous supply here at Simon Says Stamp! Get them before they are gone forever!
Here is a list of supplies you may need to create your own custom embellishments...
Square Fragments
Charms Fragments
Circle and Oval Fragments
Patterned Paper (this is a great way to use your favorite SCRAPS!)
Glossy Accents

Oh, wow, das sieht ja toll aus.
ReplyDeleteLeider hab ich sowas nicht.
Aber auf den Büchern sieht das sooo schön aus
lg gila
What a great way to making your own designed tiles. I would like to stamp images on them like Mo's or Magnolias and color them both for my cards & scrapbooking; even adhere some photos to them (that would be even better)
ReplyDeleteI have the charms and love them for adding a sentiment to a card. I stick coordinating paper, or colour with alcohol inks to the underneath side then add a rub on or stamp with stazon on the top ,,, I love them ! :-)

Well, I would definitely try to make book covers with the largest ones as shown by Tim. And, what darling little embellishments and charms to match any project. I do not have any and thank you for the chance to win some!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThese are very awesome!!
ReplyDeleteI would like to try making some charms with these....using stamps, inks and rub ons.
Just wondering can you drill holes in them, would make a fantastic bracelet when stamped with swirls or flowers and coloured. Just loving these or is it Jim Holtz I love lol.

Hi Terra -
ReplyDeleteI think I'd use them to make charms for bracelets and necklaces. I think they would also be awesome to set in to an altered book like a window.

Fragments look very interesting! I would use them as photoframe: glue smaller picture on the fragment and decorate the edges! Framents could also make cool fridge magnets...
ReplyDeleteWow, where have I been? I never saw these before, but they are so cool! I would use them to make embellishments as Tim demonstrated, but perhaps stamp a word/sentiment on the paper before adhering it to the fragment. Love the mini book cover idea he showed as well.
ReplyDeleteI love fragments, but then I love anything T!m Holtz. If I had the square ones I would make a chandalier for my bedroom. How cool would that be?
ReplyDeleteOh how cool! I think I would use it to highlite one item on my card to accentuate it. Looks like another great Tim Holtz product!
ReplyDeleteLove Tim and fragments. I'd use them with alcohol inks, my favorite :)
ReplyDeleteThese are defintely a cool product. I love to add alcohol inks to them - they give off such a vibrant and fun design.
ReplyDeleteI would shrink pictures with my copier and place them behind. Also, place real dried flowers on plain cardstock and place them behind the fragemnts. All kinds of ideas!
ReplyDeleteOh wow these are fantastic ! I would use them to embellish a canvas that's just waiting to be be used. Gorgeous ! Sue C x
ReplyDeleteabsolutely fabulous! i like to use them to bring out a tiny little focal detail on a photo or just to add dimension to a collage piece (and you're SO right about the alcohol inks!). LOVE the fragments! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are fabulous! I had no idea about them and now I want them (like right now!) I can see them in mixed media pieces and jewelry and tags, and.... Thanks for the opp!
ReplyDeleteoh gosh there is so mant way you could use them. Like the idea of the large ones would make a brillient brag book for a grandma.
ReplyDeleteThey look so cool!! I'd love to use them on a photo frame :)
ReplyDeleteI want to make earrings!
ReplyDeleteBut these will be good for a custom made mosaic too!
I am rocking in ideas now!
Anary
they are awesome... would love to paly with them on an altered canvas
ReplyDeleteThe idea of creating a mosaic with square fragments popped into my head. That would be super cool! Thanks for the chance! *hugs* Steph :)
ReplyDeleteI think I would put a photo on them..... or some sentiment for scrapbooking!!! They are awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the fragments!! I would use them for making my own embellishments. Great way to use up those lil scraps!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the chance. Have a great week.

They would make a great mosaic with photos behind then joined together and made into a fridge magnet. They are fab.
ReplyDeleteHappy crafting

I have never played around with fragments but I know I would use them to create jewelry!! =)
ReplyDeleteHugs, SannaS
I love the fragements, I use them on the cover of my journals or a card. I sometimes stamp a face and put the fragement over it. There nice to use to highlight part of a word or letter. Pick me picke me.
ReplyDeleteWow such amazing creative uses for these fragments. I'm thinking handmade embellies or a cute pen to wear to work!
ReplyDeleteI've never played with "fragments" before, but they sure look like FUN (of course, Tim makes EVERYTHING he does look fun - especially when it's messy!).
ReplyDeleteLemme think for a sec...coloring them with my COPICs...it would be a neat way to use up some paper bits in a layered project...charms for a bracelet....oh I'm sure they'd find a happy spot here in my she-cave! *LOL*
Thanks for the chance to win!
♥hugs♥
I've never used fragments but I love the book cover with the holes drilled in and I love, love, love those smaller fragments covering the mini album. I would so love some of these to try that!
ReplyDeleteI did a bit different was I used one on a wallet to hide the ugly snap closure. I backed with the accent fabric and glues it on with expoxy. Looked much nicer than the metal snap!
ReplyDeleteGreat video! I'd probably use them to make charms and accents for my cards.
ReplyDelete"Hugs" Granny
I'm so glad I saw this video! I want to try the mosaic on a layout. Woohoo I love Tim Holtz!!!
ReplyDeleteI love it. I would prepare pinning one or a jewel from the tiles.
ReplyDeleteXXX Teri

I think it would be cool to make a bracelet out of the smaller ones...you could put pictures of your kids or animals on them!
ReplyDeleteOr make a necklace!
I've never used fragmets--thanks for the ideas
ReplyDeleteI'm planning on doing a canvas, of our wedding invitation (20 years ago) and would like to use the fragment tiles as a bridge, where the bride and groom (which were on the wedding cake) are standing on. Adorn it with lots of gorgeous Prima flowers and lovely lace.
ReplyDeleteThis might take a bit of time but it would be cool to cover all the pieces in patterened paper and then string them all together and hang it in a door way to stop bugs from coming in your house.
ReplyDeleteCool product!! And I have a bottle of Glossy Accents in my drawer already. I would use the Fragments to decorate cards. I working on Spring things right now. Little flowers cut from paper would look neat under a fragment.
