Ditto on the Martha Stewart one!! Totally easy to use and great cuts!! And the extra blades store in the handle so I know I won't lose them!! They carry it at Micheal's and Walmart.
I always loved my "Circle Scissor" by EK Success, UNTIL I got my Cricut. Now I just cut my circles with my Cricut. The Martha Stewart cutter looks like an updated version of the Circle Scissor. Of course Martha's stuff is EK Success though.
Haven't tried many different kinds but DO give a thumbs up to the Creative Memories cutting system!

I bought the Martha one and got it out and had a little play with it and I like that it is compact (its seems to have the most variation of sizes for the amount of room it takes in my space) and moves freely and I don't need an engineering degree to work it. I still need to invest in a glass cutting board though to maximize my results.
I have only tried the coluzzle and the CM one, I didn't really like the CM one but when i tried it I wasn't really into scrapbooking or anything (*gasp*) and didn't really know what i was doing so even though I say I love my coluzzle, I don't really have anything to compare it with

I have the CM ovals, I love them very much, easy to use, great results. I also have the EK sucess curvy cutter circles. These are similar products, and I like m curvy cutter, but I definately think the CM ones are smoother to use and I still have the old style blades.
Another vote for the CM cutting system. I use it for cutting the really big size circles. I also have the CM punches for the small circle cuts. And of course, my love for the Nestabilties will not go away
Hi Sandy37110,
I have purchased Martha's paper circle cutter. It cuts ordinary circles very well. However, I am having much difficulty in cutting thin rings! The paper bunches up and does not allow the ring to be completed. I have even resorted to taping the corners of the paper down during the process. I AM working on a glass sheet as suggested. I have also tried to remove the first circle before proceeding to the next step which is cutting the "ring". This too is difficult, because after lifting the disc to remove the circle, it is almost impossible to realign and replace it in the exact same position. Even so, the paper continues to bunch up.... I am hoping that someone has a feasible solution to this problem because I do not wish to return the product. I am really disappointed in the quality of this product. I expect Martha's merchandise to be high quality, and offer exactly what is promised to the consumer.
I have always loved my CM cutting system (even before I was a CMC). I am also constantly drooling over my tearing tool too! :-) Great go-to for my scrapbooking!

Since I would only use a glass cutting matt for my MS Circle Cutter, I took the glass out of an old 8x10 picture frame, covered the edges with masking tape, and it works great and saved me $$.

I haven't tried cutting rings with it yet as I just bought it last week, but will have to give it a try. There has to be a way, right?

Wonderful Idea! Genius even! LOL! I am too cheap to invest in a glass cutting board but I have SEVERAL old picture frames that I am not using. Thanks for the tip.
