I've used same mat for 2 years!! I bought an extra when I spotted it at a RS store, just in case, but haven't had to use it yet.
I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE my Coluzzle!!!! I wants more templates!!!! All the cool ones that Stampendous has developed for Provo Craft--the manufacturer. But, they are not available retail yet . . . waaaaah. I've been hoping SU! would EXPAND the collection . . .

I got the circle and oval template and a pack of replacement blades at a garage sale for $1 All I had to do was buy the knife and the mat. That was about a month ago. Yesterday when I was at JoAnns, I saw the knife on clearance for $7.
I been using my for at least 4 years and just changed the mat. I have changed the swivel blade once. That was after a big project that I have cut out dozens og alphabet letters. I have a great many of their templates and love them all!
Happy coluzzling!
Last night was the first time I've changed the blade in about 3 years. You could tell it needed changed because it kept tearing the paper. I last used the blade on shrink plastic so it didn't surprise me that I needed to change the blade.
That's good to know. I've got a ways to go then. I am hoping to add more templates over time.
I passed up on the circle template because I have the Fiskars circle cutter which I'm successful at using. But I can't say that with the Fiskars oval cutter.
I find it very relaxing when guiding that blade around those channels.
I have never replaced my mat and i am going on 5 or 6 years!!!
I just bought the mini envelope template and am getting the file folders and library pocket ones as soon as my special order arrives at the LSS I work at
I posted this on another thread but didn't get a really good reply.
I just did a swap and had to change the blade 3 times. It wasn't that the blade itself was dull. The little plastic nib at the top of the blade would wear off and start scratching the template. I still kept the blades, but am I doing something wrong?
I have had my colluzle for a year and a half or so and I have never replaced the mat or the blade. I only have the circle and oval templates. I NEED to get more.

My local store had a brief history sheet posted and it had the pronunciation as rhyming with Puzzle, but I know no one here says it that way and once I did I was corrected :-)
My question is..... I have the 'starter kit" with oval and heart puzzle shape (that I bet I will NEVER use) - do I need to pick up the companion oval - will that give me smaller mat sizes?
and if you go their home page of products I imagine you can see any and all of the ones they offer.
I want the coming Stampendous slider card one!!!! WAAAAY!
But, really, I've searched and searched and nobody retail online carries them yet. . .
I want the library pocket and the file folder ones, too!!!!!! :(
Scrappiemommie, will the LSS you work at be getting the slider one soon?????
Provo seems to release all this product info at their site, but, then it can literally be 6 mos. down the road before the product appears even in THEIR OWN retail online site, creativexpress.com !!!!!!! Drives me NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:

I have the template that has three different tag shapes on it and I made it into a bookplate shape by cutting out one side of the tag, then turning the template around so that both sides had the 'bump' or top of the tag on it.
One of the highest things on my new catty wishlist is new coluzzle templates
Oh please oh please oh please!!
I've been holding off buying the tag template, in the hopes it will be in the new catty, but I don't know if I can keep holding off if you guys keep posting such cute samples!!
