If you don't have a diecutting machine to use with the Nestabilities, you can buy punches in those shapes that work well.
Before I got the punches, I hand-traced my ovals and circles with a plastic template and cut them out with scissors. It took a little time, but worked well.

There are lots of things on the market to cut circles/oval, etc. Nestabilities are currently all the rage. I still use my Creative Memories cutting system a lot, even though I own some of the Nesties.
Where is the place to find reasonably prices Nestabilities at? I have a cuttlebug and big shot and wow this makes me excited to finally be able to cut the shapes.
I don't have any die-cutting machines, so I use the Fiskars ShapeCutter for ovals, circles and hearts (punches for small ones), and I just do squares and rectangles with a knife and ruler. But I do like those scalloped Nestabilities.

Overstock.com has them for $19.99 each set, and shipping is $2.95 for your entire order, no matter how many items.

I picked up mine from http://www.ucutathome.com/ you can use a 40% off coupon...what a deal. I just placed my second order, it was too good to pass up!
I don't have a die cut machine yet, so I still use my Creative Memories circle, oval, heart, diamond, pentagon, frames, etc. cutters. It is probably harder and more time consuming, but I am familar with them and they didn't cost me any extra money as I already had them for scrapbooking!

I love my Fiskars Ultrashapercutter Xpress with the orange templates in different shapes and sizes. I use those the most. I also have Marvy punches (scalloped). I do not have any Spellbinders yet. I am thinking of investing in a Wizard machine around the holidays.
I bought scallop circle nesties, but I still use my coluzzle to cut circles and ovals. I just can't justify the expense of new nesties when I already have coluzzle for those shapes. I didn't think I needed nesties oval scallops, but I'm really starting to think I GOTTA HAVE THEM!
I used to order all mine from ucutathome.com. The 40% off brings the cost of the nesties down to like $13.40 per set but their shipping is high. Add the shipping and you are over $20.00 per set and on top of that, many times you have to wait weeks or even months for shipping. Having said that, and being happy with my orders from ucutathome.com, I have been ordering from overstock.com because you can often get shipping for only $1.00 or even free and their normal shipping is only $2.95 for your whole order. They ship immediately and I ususally have my order within 2 days of placing the order.
Blessings.

This is how I got my Nestabilities too. I received a CuttleBug for Christmas last year and each month I placed a UCutatHome order and gradually purchased all that I wanted.

I use my colluzle from SU for circles and ovals. They were cheaper than buying the creative memories templates and blades. You can sometimes find them in stores on sale.
What do you use to cut...
