Lemon juice or vinegar diluted with a little water. mist onto the stock from a spray bottle. That usually ages paper products nicely.

Take a small sponge, like a make-up one, or one from a craft store. Smear it on an ink-pad, like brown, or tan,or any color really. Smear the ink on the paper in circular motions in the center and outward motions near the edge, so that the edge is slightly darker. It is a really neat effect, and you can do it once you get your paper cut down to your desired size and shape.

I accidentally spilled coffee on a card I was working on and I liked the effect. I have used tea also. You can’t use too much. The sponge and ink works really well. They even have ink pads for the stressed look. Check hgtv.com. They have good info and online videos too.

Burning the edges has a nice effect

spill weak tea on it, or weak coffee either, brush the edges if you don’t want the whole thing colored.
