In this kit comes a cuttingmat, a swivel knife (for use with Coluzzle templates) and a retractable craft knife.
You just put the cuttingmat on your table, place a paper of choice on top of the mat and then a template of choice on top of your paper. Then you use your swivel knife and just follow the template until you've cut everywhere and your shape is done!
What I really love here is the swivel knife that even cuts through the thicker photopaper that I print my pics on. It needs a little more pressure than if you cut through regular pp or cs, but it works!

I am a big fan of the coluzzle with all the shapes. It is very easy to use especially since I can't cut a circle to save my soul. I use a clipboard to put the white pad on and that is a big help when cutting. I find myself grabbing for this all the time and I only have the basic shapes, square, circles, heart, oval and some wave rulers.

I just got mine today...and...first impressions are good. I love how easy it is. I just wish it came with a template or something but hey they're not that expensive anyway. All in all a great purchase and a great addition to anyones scrap tote :)

If you are not quite ready for a large die cut machine, the coluzzle is a perfect first step. The supplies are very simple: a foam mat, a swiviling craft knife and one of their reusable, innovative templates. Although there is a bit of a learning curve for keeping the craft knife in the cutting grooves and making smooth turns, this product is easy to use and even easier to store. I simply used a binder with page protectors to keep all of my templates in and stuck it on a shelf with my idea books. The coluzzle is super portable and has a great variety of templates. The fact that is is clear makes cutting out where you want on paper or photos even easier! My favorite template? The file folder, tabs and envelope maker. Even though I own a cricut, I would never get rid of this great product. I use is frequently and look forward to even more templates coming out.
I love my cricut, but there are times I just don't want to deal with all that work. The coluzzle is nice because it is just cut and go. Very simple and mess free. There is a learning curve with the coluzzle. It took me a while to realize that you can't always go the full way around a letter in one knife move. You have to stop, pick the knife up and do it again. I would highly recommend this though. The cuts are very clean and nice.
I have the Coluzzle starter kit and many templates to go with it. I have used it many, many times. It cuts great and I enjoy using it.
i remember when i first bought my coluzzle--i could not put it down! i remember telling someone that i don't know how i ever lived without it! it's easy to use, and not as expensive as many other cutting systems. plus it's super light-weight, which makes it super-portable!
Yeah this is a great thing, I bought this well before my cricut, and even though I have it I still use my col. because I like to cut out photos, and certain designs.
