Use Kaleidoscope Kreator to create kaleidoscopes and matching embellishments for your traditional scrapbooks. This kaleidoscope was printed on a standard 8.5”x11” photo printer, then cut out and positioned on the 12”x12” scrapbook page leaving room to scrapbook around it. Kaleidoscope Kreator was also used to make color-coordinated embellishments from the flowers in the background of the main photo.

Use Kaleidoscope Kreator to save a kaleidoscope to a file, then open in another image editing application to complete the digital layout. In this case, a photo was added in the center and borders were added around each element. The background was designed to follow the shape of the kaleidoscope.

It’s easy to make beautiful cards by simply printing a kaleidoscope and attaching it to a piece of cardstock. But don’t let your imagination stop there. The “flowers” on this card are kaleidoscopes that were created with Kaleidoscope Kreator, then printed using the Print Multiple custom printing option to get different sizes. The kaleidoscopes were then cut out, folded to create 3-dimensional flowers and nested one inside another before attaching to the card.
