Am looking for an inexpensive, easy to use, transport & store - way to cut circles. Something other than just scissors! I can´t even find the Coluzzle Cutting System (circles) in an online store that I know and trust. Haven´t seen it advertised in a physical store either. Is it no longer being sold? Any suggestions?






Both of the first two responses said that they thought Coluzzle was no longer being carried etc - so what would you all recommend?

Someone told me at a crop a few weeks ago that they weren't making the Coluzzles anymore.

My LSS told me she could no longer order Coluzzzle products.

I use creative memories circles - had them for years - and I have bought blades and things on e-bay in the past rather than a consultant.

I also have the making memories

but I personally find that very hard to use and only use it on very large circles (I'm a little challenged at that stuff)

Store all of it in a small rubbermaid container - except the mats

I use the Creative Memories cutting system. W/ the newer blades out, they rotate..makes life much easier now:)

Ahhh--that must be why all the Colluzle stuff is on the half-off table at my LSS! I guess I'll take better care of mine!
Seriously--I would be interested in something that cut perfect BIG circles (page size big) if Santa doesn't come through with the Cricut Expression, that is!

I use the Fiskars shape cutter and templates...took me a little bit of practice but once i got the feel it was a breeze...in fact I just finished cutting over 540 circles for an annoucement I need to send out (will post pic soon) - Very quick and and compact - I had the MM never worked well for me and a pain to get it all set up -

You have to be a very good girl then!!! LOL I hope he brings you one too, they are awesome!!!

One of the best purchases I've ever made for scrapbooking is a template from the crafter's workshop. It's cheap, it's compact, and you can easily trace lots of sizes of circles. I've owned 2 different circle-cutting systems, and they all suck. I think this template is the easiest. Here's a link. Scroll down to TCW79 - "Circles and Circles."

That stinks! I love my coluzzle. I also have a circle cutter that is pretty easy - it has a center thing and then an arm that comes out... don't remember the name of it - but I could actually make it work. I'm terrible at circle cutters.

Sad to hear this about the Coluzzle! I have been using these for years. What am I going to do when I can no longer get the blades! I too would love to know if there is anything out there that is this easy to store and this inexpensive.

I LOVE LOVE my Creative Memories cutting system. Easy and compact to use. In August they put out the new larger circle pattern and a 12x12 self healing mat. I so need both.

The blades are easy to get and the newer ones are so much better then the old.

Then you can also buy oval patterns and a couple of other sets. One in the shape of an egg (great for easter). There is a star and some others! Pezcat use to be a consultant. Check with her if you want to try one. She may still have a set in stock.

I wouldn't own any other system.

Why don't you check ebay or craigslist if you really want Colluzzle? Both of those seem to have everything.

Do you have Freecycle where you live? You could absolutely request a Coluzzle system - and someone like me might have one they no longer use!

Thank you - I did not know about the larger size -

oh man, I need that big circle! Doesn't Ondrea sell CM?

wow I didn't know Coluzzle was no longer being sold. I love mine - espcially the big circle. Cheap and super easy to use. Check ebay. You never know.
