The Many Uses of Fragments by Tim Holtz!

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
Tim Holtz Scissors
Alcohol Ink
Alcohol Ink Fillable Pen
Rub Ons

Check out Tim's video demonstrating the many uses of Fragments...prepare to be inspired!

  3. 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)

  4. I 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 ! :-)

    luv

  8. Hi Terra -

    I 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.

  9. 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...

  10. Wow, 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.

  11. I 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?

    ReplyDelete
  12. Oh 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!

  14. These are defintely a cool product. I love to add alcohol inks to them - they give off such a vibrant and fun design.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I 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!

  29. Wow such amazing creative uses for these fragments. I'm thinking handmade embellies or a cute pen to wear to work!

    ReplyDelete
  30. I'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!).

    Lemme 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!

  31. 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!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I 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!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Great video! I'd probably use them to make charms and accents for my cards.

  38. 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!

    Or make a necklace!

  39. I've never used fragmets--thanks for the ideas

  40. I'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.

  41. This 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.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Cool 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.
