I would have to say nestablilites are the next best thing to the coluzzle.

I also love my Coluzzle; I purchased a couple of extra blades when I found out it was being discontinued, don't know what I will do when they are gone.

I have heard that xacto makes a swivel blade that works! I am getting down on blades myself...

Yes, I agree that swivel blades are available by another company, but I cannot recall which one. Exacto would be most logical for sure.

My favorite device for cutting a multitude of circle sizes is my Creative Memories Cutting System. I've used it for at least 5 years and still love it.

I do also have the Nesties Circles, in both available sizes. They don't go as large as the CM, but you do get that sweet embossing feature on them, plus the fact that they layer easily with the Scalloped Circles.

Ask Santa for whichever seems better suited for you! ;)

No! Don't sell it! You can't stamp an image and cut a perfect circle around it with your Cricut, like you can with your Coluzzle. I don't use mine a lot, but when I need it, I need it. I'm so glad I have it!

I used to like my Coluzzles until I discovered Nestabilities. They are so much easier to use and cut so cleanly.

I have the circle cutter from Stampin' Up!, but do not have the directions. Does anyone know how the cutter works? Any help would be appreciated.
THanks,

Has anyone checked local small shops? We have a great local lady and her store is heaven to me! I saw coluzzles hanging on her walls just waiting to be bought, but I had read about them being discontinued so I didn't even check them out. These local shops may have more items like this because they don't tend to reduce to sell....

To the original poster, I couldn't send the pics by email, so I'm trying to attach thumbnails here. We'll see how it works. I've numbered each size on the templates since it makes it easier to see which track you should be cutting in. These marks can easily be removed if you wish.

Here is a pic of the envelope and tag templates, as well as the swivel knives and extra blades.

I used coluzzle when I first started cardmaking several years ago and still have my templates, one (a duplicate) is still in the package. If anyone is interested and will pay shipping, you can have my coluzzle supplies. If you are interested I'll get a list together of the templates I have.

I have 1 new mat, 2 - cutters with new blades, 2 -wide ovals (1 new in pkg), 1 -long oval, 1 - rounded square, 1 - reg square, 1 - diamond, 1 - star, 1 - reg heart, 1 - puzzle heart, 1 - circle, and 1 rectangle. Some haven't been used at all - they were gifts. All of them are in great shape. I'll see what they weight and check into shipping. Send me an e-mail here and let me know, I don't use them any more and can always use the room! LOL

I have found someone that wants my Coluzzle supplies - I was not selling them, just sharing.
Have a great holiday!

I love this system too. Maybe because I started with it and have been using it for so long. I have other systems, but for cutting around images I love this the best.

I noticed a swivel cutter in the Fiskars section at J's.
Looks like the same blade as coluzzle but the handle fits over your finger.

I, too, love my coluzzle.

I'm glad to hear that people still love the Coluzzle! I have a TON of templates I would love to sell. They are even in the exclusive Coluzzle zip up case. I just might have to dig it out and ebay it now... I haven't touched it in over 5 years now..

JewishStamper - I would be interested in purchasing your set of Coluzzle circle or oval templates, and if you have a knife and mat? Thanks.

Hi Everyone!

Just a reminder that we need to do our "selling" in the Buy/Sell/Trade forums. If you already have a thread in Buy/Sell, simply edit to add the Coluzzle, etc. We're required to post a price as well rather than make offers.

With all this Coluzzle chatter ... I must blush & admit that I do not remember how long it's been since I touched mine. 3 years? more?? That's just sad, said this non-purger! ;)

Thanks so much for your understanding!
