I'm not a demo...but I have used a Coluzzle. It is used to cut shapes such as circles, rectangles, tag shapes etc. It is comparable to the Creative Memories circle and oval cutters. I use the CM mostly but I think the Coluzzle system has more shapes available than CM.
It is a method for cutting out shapes and SU offers the cirlce and the oval. You can get a ton of different patterns for things like envelope templates, tags, and other shapes at craft store like Michael's. I think it is probably the cheapest and most versatile shape cutting system. CM and Sizzix are two other options but their prices make them less attractive.
I just started using mine and it's great. I copied the card in the mini catalog for Neverending Joy - love the oval. I bought the heart template at Michael's with a 50% off coupon and think that will make some nice cards. It lets you play with different size shapes and make windows in your paper. I think it's worth it!
I love mine! It is really easy to use, and there are TONS of different templates available, including alphabets. I bought mine on Ebay and saw several "package" deals with really great prices. I suggest, as always, to shop around to find the best price. I highly recommend it!

I CANNOT scrapbook w/o this tool. I use it to cut my photos and create a mat for them, or a frame, depending on my mood. I bought the kit from SU, and have added other templates from Michaels. (I've also see this sold in a larger kit form on QVC).
I'm one of those coluzzle-challenged people. Perhaps, you could try it out somewhere first before you buy it. For the life of me, I can't cut a perfect shape with it. I don't own one though, perhaps if I had time and some CS to play with I could get it right. :?
I have a CM cutting system, but it doesn't have as many template options as coluzzle does. Good Luck with your decision and I hope someone can give you some tips on how to coluzzle.
Here's a link to a past thread and in the first post I listed a link to a video so you can watch how to use it and what its uses are.
I use it and think it’s a great tool. Note it does have simple to advanced templates which are mentioned in the video and I do find the advanced more difficult.
I just got a Coluzzle, after reading so much about it here. I really like it, and they do offer a number of great-looking templates. Sure beats the way I used to do things--cut with an Xacto by hand. :shock:
If you're looking at saving some $$, you can check the BST forum. I traded for mine there.
I love mine. I could never master other cutting systems. I had it long before I found SU, but I did get the other size templates from SU and I have found them useful, too. Great tool.
I absolutely love mine! Kind of happened on to them when I had a 40% Michael's coupon to use and just tried it and loved it. Now I buy templates, blades, etc. at Michaels when I have coupons.
I love my Coluzzle...I use the tag template all the time! You may be frustrated with it at first as it takes some practice to get it to work right, but it's worth it!
I love my coluzzle. I have 2 alphabet templetes and use it all the time for scrapbooking titles. It does take a few times to get the technique down but once you master it, you will look for stuff to cut out. I have the old circle scissors SU! used to sell I have the CM cutters. I love my coluzze. by far the easiest for me.
