This software is so cool that within minutes of me loading into my computer, I had my youngest co-worker on my lap and we were making fun gift tags with Kaleidoscope Kreator 3.0. This is his first kaleidoscope:
He was smiling ear to ear when IHAN Daddy came home from work. "Look what I made Daddy!" He was soooo proud and I was very surprised to see that within minutes of loading the software a design could be made.
Here is how we did it: We opened a photo, Zachary chose a photo of himself of course :) Then we selected a shape for our design, then he decided how many of the sections he wanted for his picture. We put our cursor on the photo and moved it around until the part he wanted to focus on was in the "key hole" - area of the design- he wanted to use. The program gives you a preview on the sidebar. Zach loved moving the photo all around getting all the different scenes of himself. Then we saved it....honestly that was all we did.
Kaleidoscope Kreator 3.0 was so much fun (addicting) that I kept putting all sorts of photos into the variety of shapes and laughing when we came up with silly photos of the boys.
The next photo I took from a book that will be given away during our Anniversary Celebration and made a fun kaleidoscope with it. Can you guess what book this is from? If you know, e-mail your answer to IWantToWinAtIHAN@yahoo.com for 5 extra entries into this drawing. Please don't post your answer below in the comments.
I made this in less than 2 minutes and that is not an exaggeration. Talk about a very cool pattern for a wall hanging....I love it, don't you?
Kaleidoscope Collections has a wonderful website (not to mention blog and Facebook Fan Page!!!) with great examples of how Kaleidoscope Kreator 3.0 can be used in a variety of mediums. The photos below were "gently borrowed" from Kaleidoscope Collections for the purpose of demonstrating the variety of amazing things that can be made with their oh so cool software :)
(please make and send me this card...pretty please)
Scrapbooking....how cool is this?
One very lucky IHAN blog reader is going to win a Kaleidoscope Kreator 3.0 CD or Download (out side the US) . To enter, please leave a comment on this post (you may want to put your e-mail address under your name) telling us why you want to win Kaleidoscope Kreator 3.0 AND what you will make if you were to win.
I want to thank Kaleidoscope Collections for helping to celebrate IHAN's First Anniversary by so generously giving away Kaleidoscope Kreator 3.0 to one very lucky IHAN blog reader.
THANK YOU Kaleidoscope Collections :)

ReplyDeleteHi Kelly,
ReplyDeleteEveryday you have something really interesting for give away. I have never tried to make a Kaleidoscope, but you made sound easier than I would have thought.

What a cool program!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing program! The ideas and things you can do with this is limitless. What a great prize!
ReplyDeletemy kids love kaleidoscopes. If you coworker loved it so will mine! Plus I bet they would let me "borrow" it to design some quilts with it!
ReplyDeleteI would love to win Kaleidoscope 3.0. Just looking at your pictures my mind is going 500 miles a minute thinking about the possabilities that thisw program would give me to use on my quilts and with my grandchildren and great niece3s and nephews.
ReplyDeleteI would make a quilt .....silly girl!! but all the things you showed were awesome, I can see where you son would have such a fun time...
ReplyDeleteI collect Kaleidoscopes so I would really love to win this.
ReplyDeleteI'm currently taking a Geometry course (for fun!!) and one of our chapters was on kaleidoscope designs. I'd love to use this to make one of my projects for the end-of-semester design portfolio we have to do.
ReplyDeleteI am not only a quilter, but am also a scrapbooker and live with my daughter who is also a scrapbooker and is learning to quilt. She also has 4 children(ages 15,12,and 11 year old twins) who join in on the fun every chance they get. What an awesome way to create. pamspinks.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteThere is a possibility I could do this! Maybe your co-worker could give me some hints. LOL Or advice if I got stuck?

Oh, Oh, Oh I want it...it sounds so cool. I sew, scrapbook, cardmake!!!! I could use it and use it and use it some more.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Terry
Oh yeah, would definitely have to share with my daughter. I haven't tried a kaleidoscope quilt yet, so that's what I would make with it.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win it, and I would make labels with it and wrapping paper and funky fabric
ReplyDeleteOh Please Oh Please let me win!!!! I have been wanting this program for quite some time now. My son would just die to have a quilt made with Kaleidoscopes. He use to sit for hours making designs that looked something like a Kaleidoscope.
ReplyDeleteMy email address is Lynnejean1@gmail.com
Oh I have always wanted to own this! There are so many uses for this software--my daughter and I would use it and use it and use it! Just think of the quilts and scrapbooking I could do! i would even find a way to incorporate it into my classes that I teach! Thank you so much for the chance to win this software!
ReplyDeleteI love the flowers on the purple card at the top! I could totally see myself making something like that. I'm also envisioning red and green poinsettias and white and light grey snowflakes in a similar style. Wouldn't those make awesome christmas cards or package labels?
ReplyDeleteI would love to try this. I love snowflakes and I think this would help me make lots and lots of awesome snowflakes. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteoH my GOSH!! I have been hoping and hoping that this would be one of your give aways for real!!!! I love love love Mini quilts and I love Kaleidoscope Quilts.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much you can do with this program and I have soooo been saving to get this one! It is hard to find something that will work with so many media products- you don't just have to be a sewer to appreciate the program from what I have read and seen- THAT IS WHY I CAN'T WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON IT!!
I have no shame in hoping I am the one that wins this software!
It's me again Kelly! LOL
ReplyDeleteWhy? Because it looks like so much fun! What would I do with it? Print on fabric that is for sure!
A very cool program. Why: because this tool really gets the creative muse going. what would I make: a quilt of course, make that many quilts and wallhangings. This would be an incredible tool to use in the fiber arts.
ReplyDeleteOh, WOW what a neat 'tool.' Looks more like a plaything to me. ;) I love the flowers and the bag. For me, this would be a valuable asset for accessorizing bags, vest, ...flowers for CQing. (I guess I'm hung up on CQing...need to get back to it.)
ReplyDeleteIf I were to win Kaleidoscope Kreator 3.0, I would make a beautiful table runner for the fourth of July!
ReplyDeleteWow! so beautiful with so many wonderful visions. :-)
ReplyDeleteI really have wanted this software for at least the last 4 years. Every I got to an event where they demo it, I am up in front watching. They have to boot me out to make me move along. I see sew many beautiful quilts, table toppers made using photographs of lovely people and places.

This really looks like fun and it is nothing like I have tried before.
ReplyDeleteMy birthday is in April and no one in my family would think to buy me software, heck they don't even get me a cake, I have to bake my own. I would love to be the winner of this program, I think the Kaleidoscope quilts are so pretty and that is what I would make a beautiful quilt.

Stop by http://Nanbonscorner.blogspot.com for my Birthday Giveaway.
I can't believe all of the new gadgets that they keep coming up with. This would really broaden my crafting, scrapbooking and quilting. Love it!
ReplyDeleteIf I were lucky enough to win, I would make a keepsake wallhanging for my daughter-in-law with pictures of her three children featured in kaleidoscopes. They are growing so fast!
ReplyDeleteI did not even realize that there was anything on the market like this! Thanks so much for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIf I were to win, I would marry the scrapbooking idea with the quilting and make several quilts. First would be one for my 6 year old granddaughter highlighting her achievements and then move on to my new little grandson. My mother would love one done with pictures of all her grandchildren in a quilt! So inspiring!
Super cool! I would love this program, the possibilities for creativity are endless! Thanks~
ReplyDeleteI've watched demos of Kaleidoscope Kreator on Quilting Arts. I would take a photo (just got my first digital camera at Christmas) of our irises that are coming up, Kreate with it, print on fabric and make an iris pillow for my bed. Then, I would take photos of my grandnieces and do something like your son did. Print on paper, and frame so they can have it in their bedrooms. Would love to have this software. mlwright29 at hotmail dot com
ReplyDeleteThis is really cool...I saw it demonstrated and would love to have it. Even hubby would have fun with it as he is a computer geek!!!

Pat from A little of this and a little of Pat told me about your site....I love your notions store.
ReplyDeleteWow, what a cool product! I would love to make table runners wiht this - they just look so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi, Kelly--I LOVE what I see here about this Kaleidoscope Kreater 03 software. It has so many possibilities! Off the top of my head I would use it to make cards, clothing embellishments (especially jackets and shirts), and dimensional pins from the macro close-up photos I take of the flowers in my garden and other gardens. Wouldn't that be cool? I also love the idea of surprising my grandchildren with kaleidoscopes of themselves--maybe on T-shirts or special day cards. I am sure there are lots of other uses I will come up with, as well, so I really would love, love, love to win this. What a great anniversary you are having for us, your fans. Marjory

ReplyDeleteHi and greetings from Western Australia. I would love to win this software; these are the kind of quilts that make me 'draw breath' every time I see them. They are really gorgeous.

This sounds like so much fun! Like the spirograph I had as a kid. I would play with it a lot for sure and maybe make a quilt or smaller appliques for on bags etc.
ReplyDeleteI would love this to make quilt blocks with. I love this type of quilt, but don't want to do the precise cutting needed.
ReplyDeleteI've never tried Kaleidoscope method before and this would certainly be an easy way to play!! Would love to win and try my hand at something to hang on the wall with kaleidoscope flowers.
ReplyDeleteOMG, what a great prize and what a great idea. I saw a video demonstrating this and it's amazing. I would have to try the kaledioscope using a family picture. those turn out great!
ReplyDeleteKaleidoscope are so fascinating and I could see my son loving creating cards etc with it. Good for scrapbooking and of course wall hangings as well!
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who has this software and I have envied her work since forever. I love the fact that it turns your photos or artwork into new and unique designs. I would start by making something with paper, then work my way to fabric.
ReplyDeleteI would love to win this...It is useful for quilting, scrapbooking, cardmaking...lots of things.
ReplyDeleteMicki
I think it would be fun to win this because my husband enjoys photography. It's something we could do together. I could create a quilt made from one of his photographs.
ReplyDeletethe quilts looks so good!!!!,that's why I'd love to give it a good try, I just imagine the way it'll turn on a bed size bed or a bag!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm afraid if I won this one, I'd be stuck at the computer forever. This one? Or this one? Or should I use all 17 million I've made?
ReplyDeleteBut enter me anyway -- don't count me at by any means!
I would love to win this for my daughter!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful piece of software. The Kleidoscope Kreator is right up my alley and I would love to play around and let the software suggest my next creation.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking of some ideas using Kaledioscope Kreator with some family history photos for our upcoming family reunion...
ReplyDeleteThanks Kaleidoscope Collections!
