how do you distress edges of cardstock?

[tcrnurse95]

does anyone know how to distress the edges of cardstock like they have done on page 8 in the sell-a-bration catalog with the celebrate card?

I like to run the edge of a bone folder across the outside of the cardstock, but you can also use your fingers to tear and roll the cardstock. HTH!

I like to use the edge of a table or counter to soften my cardstock then i tear it and roll it with my fingers. Another nice effect is wetting your paper and crumpling it and then smoothing it flat and letting it dry before tearing and rolling.

I bought an edge distressor at my LSS. It's a little plastic circle with a pie wedge cut out of it. There's a little razor blade in it that scrapes and wears the edge og the cardstock. A fun tool for only $.99.

Debra,
I have the same tool. I do like it. If you have an envelope opener you can use it also. Wet the egdes alittle with an aqua flow brush and it really works good.

I have the MM edge distresser, it's the same basic thing, a plastic housing for a razor blade. It works pretty well

I saw this too at my LSS and thought what a cool little gadget!
