Today’s project is simple, but versatile. I used two of the sentiment stamps in the set to create some unique patterned paper. Since they are acrylic stamps, it is very easy to line everything up PERFECTLY! I used the word window punch from Stampin’ Up! to create a slot for my extra wide ribbon to feed through and hold the card shut. For the inside I adhered a special good luck charm on foam dots. I got several of these charms from my sister when she worked at an itty bitty gift shop in Rockland, Maine. They had an old fashioned machine that you inserted a quarter, turned the crank and watched your quarter become 
pressed into a four leaf clover. They were so adorable, I made sure she got me a few to keep on hand for card making! So always keep your eyes out! You never know where you’ll find your next favorite card embellishment!

Great idea to use the word stamps over and over to create a background paper – and I love the closure with the fat ribbon!
I think this is lovely. I’m not normally a green girl but this sure makes me change my mind.. 🙂
That is such a great idea for an embellishment. I have had some of these penny’s done and have misplaced them in lack of not having a proper purpose for them. Thank you for this bright idea!
How clever. I love how you used the word window punch to close the card. I also like the “altered” quarter. I would have never thought to use something like that for cards but am starting to get a new perspective on looking “outside the box” with cardmaking. Ida
How cute! And so simple…
And what a cool little embellishment.
I gotta think more about “untraditional” embellishments…

Very simple and very classy. The soft green is nice and the quarter thing is a great idea. I have a couple pennies from machines like that at the fair (years ago) and now I know why I saved them all this time. Thanks for the inspiration!
