Has anyone used Heidi Swapp Paper Distresser? rop

[Suzy_H]

I am wondering if its worth the $$ to order it online - can anyone tell me what it is exactly? Is there a better distresser out there?

I've used it; I bought 2 on line for either 2 or 3 dollars but saw them the other day at AC Moore for ONE dollar!! I like it a lot and use it all the time, (when they're not lost under the mess on my table!!); I figured even for the 2 or 3 bucks, they're worth it until I feel like spending the big bucks for the SU one (which has multiple uses I think);

I use the version by Tonic and it's great! The Heidi Swapp version looked a little "cheap" to me, but I didn't check it out too much.

Also, if it's the one I have, it's about a 2.5" pink plastic circle with a notch cut out like a pie slice and there's a little blade inside the notch; you run your cardstock thru the notch to distress the edge; I've heard it referred to as the Pac-man thingy!

I bought two from www.apeekintoyesterday.com for only $1.00 each. I only have used one of them and it worked great ~ it does look like a Pac-Man. I also buy my red sticky tape from that site for only $1.05 a roll of 5 yards.

How do they work? The razor blade just rips the paper? Thank you everyone!

I got mine for 99 cents and it works just like taking your paper snips and rubbing it along the edge of your paper to distress the edge. It is just a razor blade enclosed in the pink "pac-man" looking thingy.

I have one and don�t care for it much, I can�t get my edges to look right when I use it. :( Now I just open up my scissor and run the edge of my cardstock across the blade and it works great. ;)

I bought mine at Archivers for 99 cents and I have been happy with the results for the price.
