I say yes! Much cheaper than having to buy all the different sized oval and circle punches!

There is lots of info on the Coluzzle at the ProvoCraft website.
http://www.provocraft.com/products/i...hp?cl=coluzzle
Click the above link and then on the left hand side you will see 'learning center' - click on the links under there to get all the info.
I have a Coluzzle system and I love it - easy to use and very easy to store. |

Coluzzle works, but I think Creative Memories has the best cutting system out there. Just my 2 cents

I really like the Coluzzle system. It's only downfall is it cannot cut photos (at least I can't...) the swivel knife just shreds the sides of them.

I love mine, although I still get the punches for those quick moments.

I have the coluzzle and the Creative Memories cutting system - I like the Creative Memories much better. Easier to use and a complete cut each time.

Maybe a new blade is in order for you... I know I have often forgotten to change blades - guess I figure they should last forever! It is amazing the difference what a fresh blade will do (and nearly a 'slap in the forehead' experience for me!) |

I rarely use mine anymore. I don't like the cut and I find that if I'm cutting a photo it seems to slip underneath the template. I like the CM system a lot better. I hate the coluzzle alphas! They were miserable for me. I used that template once. I think it's a good idea but there are better systems out there in my opinion.

I use mine all the time for scrapbooking. Great for cutting out photos then cutting a matt one size larger. If it is tearing the edge of you photo you just need a new blade. Blades seam to cut paper longer than photos.

I went crazy a few years back and bought a ton of colluzle stuff. Now it is almost the last thing that I reach for. I've also seen it on clearance at Roberts which makes me believe that Provo Craft might not be staying with it much longer? I do use my CM system for oval or circles, but I reach for my punches the very most.

Really? I don't think the blade is that used- it still cuts paper and cardstock without any trouble at all. You've been able to cut photos fine? |

Check out the link below to see other threads where folks discussed the Coluzzle:
Forums at Splitcoaststampers
You should really try out shapecutting products before making a purchasing decision. I had the chance to try out the Creative Memories cutting system after hearing a lot of good things about it, and I hated it. It just did not work for me. Lots of folks on SCS despise their Coluzzle, but I love mine ot pieces and use it as often as I use my punches. __________________

Yup! I love it for cutting photos! That's probably what I use it for most! |

I love my Coluzzle. I don't cut photos with them but cardstock and patterned paper works great.

I used to have Fiskars circle & oval cutter & hated it. I then invested in Coluzzle and love it! Oval companion is a perfect oval shape for the scallop oval punches!
