Hubby is stamping me a Valentine card as I type. Well sorta stamping me a card... "Honey, do you have gold ribbon like this (red)?" "Do you have red cording or wire or fiber?" "Is this a corner punch?" "What ink color would look good on red besides black?" LOL Will post a picture later on.

ps. He did say he should stamp more often. Yeah, right! :lol:
My husband had my three kids (age 5 and 3 year old twins) stamp my birthday cards. However, he used my stamps (didn't clean them) and used several different colors of ink. It was, though, incredibly sweet. We have since been over the golden rule: Nobody touches Mommy's stuff!
Also, my dad has taken a stamping class at his local stamping supply store and loves it. When he retires, he says he wants to devote some time to stamping. Isn't that fun? Now he just needs to move from WA to MN so we can stamp together.

That is so sweet! Go, Dad!

Instead of telling them not to use your stuff, why not take time to teach them how to clean? (especially the hubby who can then monitor the kids) That way you still get fun cards without ruining your stuff! :-)

My 16 yr. old son came home from school and used my stamping stuff to make a card for his girlfriend. It came out great! I wish I had thought to scan before he left for her house. He is a veteran stamper . . . knows how to clean everything, made all of his Christmas and birthday thank you cards, etc... He is very aware of the difference in quality between home-made and store-bought!

My hubby made my birthday card this year. He was really sweet about it when he asked if he could use my stamps. It only took him about 45 minutes and he even layered some of the stamped images on the front of the card.
My husband asked me how I clean my stamps yesterday... and when I returned from my errands I noticed my stamp desk unusually organized.
Come to find that not only did he handstamp me a card (can't wait to see what it looks like at dinner tonight!), but he cleaned up after himself (and then some...).
WOW!! My DH just gets all my samples out for all the company to see all the time. Wish he would stamp, though, so we could stamp together! But, too busy getting his Masters! Maybe after school?
My DH made me the sweetest CASED card. He did a great job and I can't wait to post it. He didn't even wait until the last minute - can you believe it? I am truly blessed...
Every time one of you tells us your hubby stamped you a card, I tell my hubby, and he says "thats nice". Meaning-he aint going there!
I bet it feels special to get a hand stamped card from your sweetie :P
I'll never know...LOL
So to all the hubby's out there making cards for their wifes..
WAY TO GO.
My dh handstamped a card for me a few weeks ago. I thought is was very sweet and loving. The card is not very attractive, but I acted like it was the most beautiful card I had ever received. I will have to post it so you can see my dh's attempt to be creative.
My DH stamped on his mountain bike wheels and used my scrapbooking stickers. He was so happy that I had all kinds of different stickers. Hmmmm....maybe he thinks they just magically appear an didn't really spend the grocery money on scrapbooking stuff. LOL, I didn't really.
He is so proud of himself.

My DH refuses to stamp and I didn't even get a bought card this year! Then had the nerve to tell me that he didn't need one either! What a humbug!! Doesn't he realize that when he says that, he is robbing me of one of my greatest joys in life! ugh
Okay, Ladies - I'm jealous. I would just melt if my husband stamped me a card. Instead he hits the grocery store on the way home from work. Don't get me wrong. I appreciate the gesture - he always picks great cards but to get a hand stamped one......

My sister's hubby stamps her cards on occasion. And he is the most masculine, gun toating, big truck driving, red neck I've ever met! He went in to stamp her one the other day and I had rearranged the stamp room and he coudn't find the pads. Poor guy!
My husband is much less masculine. I tend to go for the androgonous look. He wouldn't be caught dead stamping. But seriously, I don't think I would want my husband to stamp. I'm not very good at sharing some things. I don't want a husband who sews, cooks, or stamps. These are not things I want to debate on how to spend my money. Next thing I know, he would be saying something like, "Can't we collect the colorbox line instead of stampin up?" No way, no sharing this decision. I have a hard enough time sharing my stamping space with my kids.
Seems selfish, but I believe that it is good to know your limitations. Besides, do I want him to know how much I spend on stamps? NO WAY!!! Best he just stays back in his man cave, ridding the world of all the evil electronic aliens who are out to invade our world and change life as we know it....
Well my DH made one once -- went through my drawer of scrapbook patterned paper and punches and all and made a beautiful card a few years ago with my then 2-year old DD. But then he got so upset that I didn't put it in my sample book with my SU stuff (it wasn't using SU items, LOL) --and I didn't bring it with me to my SU monthly meeting.
I should explain that I really did love the card he made and I didn't intentionally not show it to anyone, he was just being funny. He really doesn't want to make a card (he told me, he just thought he would get in trouble if he bought one was all) -- when we talked once and he realized he wouldn't get "in trouble" - I just said to pick one out that he liked and that I thought I would like --
So now he buys cards with the understanding that he finds one with the wording he likes and that is pretty that I can CASE if I want to (i.e. I like the ones with vellum and ribbon or embossing)-- so it works for both of us ---
Hubby is stamping
