 I love the Heidi Swapp tool but my favorite distressing kit.... hands down,,, is the Basic Grey file kit.  Those tools are awesome!!  Greal tools...different sizes and shapes...LOVE 'em!

 Oooh that looks really cool! I LOOVE the Butterfly Kisses LO! My DD#2's middle name translates to butterfly and Dh says that's "their song".

[beachlover]

[bigsmartass]

 Cool, I was using it right just not doing it enough to get a good effect... I will use it again now!  Awsome, I learned something new today.

Maybe we can see if Becky can get it in
Yes, you can use scissors to distress and I have done that in the past, but this is safer, faster and a much better result

 Amy do you know what that other tool from my MM Distressing kit is for?

Are you questioning the expertise of Mrs. Donna Downey?  Them's fightin' words, woman!

 I love mine, use it often.

 I stare at it everyt ime I go to the store and wonder what I would use it for. I am getting one tomorrow. Thanks gals.

[CaughtULokN2]

 I don't have one of them.  But I do use scissors and sand paper to get about the same look.  I like distressing for something and not for others!
I want on tho.

[JulianaM]

The back side of an exacto knife works great too!  I like it better because I can get into smaller spaces with it.

 Hmmm . . I have to admit, I've never distressed. (shutter).  You know it looks cool, now I need one.  I don't want to use my scissors I'm afraid I'd probably cut myself with my luck.  going to HL Tomorrow night and buying out the stock! 

[jiffy]

 Thanks for the tip for this neat little gadget!   I have always distressed in the past using alternate means, not even realizing that there was a little tool that could do the job for me!   I shall be on the lookout for this next time I visit my LSS!

[Nikki_E]

 I gotta get that!

[scrapsakes]

 OMG, i've had mine for what probably seems like forever!!
 i even used it for the MIX-n-MATCH album class ages ago

[bcgal00]

 I have the Heidi Swapp one and one by Close To My Heart. I keep one in my crop bag and one on my scrap desk. I loooove distressing. I really like the HS one but maybe that's b/c its pink LOL

I like that its a small and useful yet isn't hard on the wallet! I like to wet the paper edges a bit too with a waterbrush and this gives a more pronounced rip and crumble to the paper, just be careful not to overdo it and completely rip it apart.

 I just love this tool - started using it recently and want to use it on everything.

 I'm not a big fan of distressing...I hate buying something new and purposely making it look shabby and crappy...sigh...I don't collect antiques either...                             
until now! 
 I watched the video and it looks great. I will have to try it.... a small amount of distressing is ok, I guess. I can do this.
 

 Love this tool. I use it ALL the time.
