Kaleidoscope Kreator -- What is it and How Do I Use It?



Kaleidoscope Kreator 3.0 -- What is it & How Do I Use It?

Never have I received as many emails & phone calls with questions as I have regarding our last newsletter. I am sure many of you have the same questions, so I am taking a step back & offering more detail about the Kaleidoscope Kreator 3.0 product and accessories.

Kaleidoscope Kreator 3.0 is a wonderful piece of software that runs on your PC (sorry, it will not run on Mac) Using this software, you can make beautiful kaleidoscope patterns using repeated images from any photo that you have on your PC.

You begin by choosing a photo and a template shape from the software. Using the software, you position the shape over your photo--choosing the part of the image that you will repeat. Then, with the push of a button, your computer will duplicate your chosen image creating a kaleidoscope. For a different effect, choose a different part of the picture or a different picture. Try using photos with different colors & textures. Try using photos of people, flowers, animals, buildings, or anything else! The results are amazing & by being creative, you will create some delightful surprises!

You can use these kaleidoscopes for scrapbooking , card-making, and other paper crafts. You can use the kaleidoscopes to make ornaments, wall decor, T- shirts, & more! The possibilities are endless! Different shapes create different kaleidoscope effects. Several are provided on the disk. More choices of shapes are available using the Quilters Polygon & Frame Frenzy add-on packs (sold separately.) Each of these packs has 60-80 more shape choices!

Favorite Projects 1 & 2 demonstrate a variety of different projects made using the Kaleidoscope Kreator software. The best way to describe these disks is to say that they are project "books" supplied in the form of a disk. They will provide you with GREAT ideas and inspiration for using your software.

I LOVE this software. When I was learning to use the software, I made a great T-shirt for our soccer coach. I took a photo of the team and used a pie shape wedge shape (with a flat end where the point of the pie would be.) When these images were duplicated by the software, it created an octagon with an open space in the center. I printed it onto iron-on fabric & ironed it onto a plain white T-shirt. Using a fabric marker, I added the word COACH to the center of the design. Then I had each of the girls sign it. The Coach and the parents LOVED it. They couldn't believe that I made it. I didn't tell them that it was easy and that it only took a few minutes!



Favorite Projects Volume 1

By special arrangement with Kal Creations, we also have Favorite Projects Volume 1 on the way. This software is usually only available by download. However, we have a limited number of disks coming.

Favorite Projects Volume 1 contains illustrated, step- by-step written instructions for twelve fun projects using Kaleidoscope Kreator.

Papercrafters will love making the delicate 3-D ornaments and elegant cards. Scrapbookers can choose from two hybrid page layouts, and quilters will enjoy the keepsake quilt, tote bag and fabric bowl projects. Instructions for eye-catching party coasters and a unique see-thru clock round out the selection of projects.

The projects included in Favorite Projects Volume 1 assume that you already have Kaleidoscope Kreator 3.0.(sold separately) Projects may refer to the use of Frame Frenzy or Quilters Polygon software (sold separately). These are optional and are not required to complete projects.



Quilters Polygon

The Quilters' Polygons Template Pack adds sixty new shapes to Kaleidoscope Kreator 2.0, more than doubling the choices available in the base product.

Polygons are basic building blocks for creating more intricate patterns and designs. This add-on template pack includes templates for 5-, 6-, 8-, 10-, 12- and 16- sided polygons.

Each template can be used in either kaleidoscope or pinwheel mode, and there are solid and frame styles for each shape.

Quilters will especially love having these additional shapes to choose from when creating traditional quilt patterns, but this template pack is perfect for anyone who wants to create stunning geometric designs.

NOTE: The Quilters' Polygons Template Pack is an add-on product for Kaleidoscope Kreator 3.0, and can only be used if Kaleidoscope Kreator 3.0 is already installed on your computer.




Frame Frenzy

The Frame Frenzy Template Pack adds eighty new shapes to Kaleidoscope Kreator 2.0, more than doubling the choices available in the base product.

Now it's easy to make beautiful kaleidoscopic frames for that special photo or artwork. These new templates take the guesswork out of frame composition and image placement, so you can focus on creating the perfect frame!

Center-hole shapes include squares, diamonds, circles, polygons, stars, scallops, and ovals.

Includes bonus video tutorials that show you how to digitally add a photo in the center hole using popular image editing programs.
