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 -

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.

[writerlady]

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.
