Do you have one? Like it? Why/why not? How have you used it? What's your favorite way of using it? What are all the ways that you have found you can use it? Have you found something else to use instead if so. What and why? Can you add to this list?
Here's a few ways that I (Barbie Boop) have used mine:

Crimp just the front side of the card
Stamp and color an image then send it through the crimper. Mount it on your card!
Use it on your paper scraps and then layer them on your card with stamped images over top.
Use it on a whole sheet of decorative paper then cut the paper in = inch strips. Use them for a card boarder
Send a piece of cardstock through it and then stamp on top of it with a BOLD image!
Cut/punch it to the shape you want AFTER you crimp it. Heart, circle etc.
Expect crimped cardstock/paper to NOT come out straight.
Fold the paper up then put it through the crimper. When done crimping it open it up then layer it!
