Why are Hubby's the hardest to make cards for?

[dolphinprncss03]

Our anniv is on the 9th and vday is the 14th i have such a hard time making hubby a card...maybe because he has seen the work that i try to do and i want it to be perfect for his cards.. i dont have many sets that would apply to anniversary's does anyone suggest any SU sets? all my sets are the cute funny one's not serious ones....oh and are more for women..PLEASE HELP

I find masculine cards a bit difficult too, but last year I cased an idea from Paper Crafts mag, which was a pocket card, and I filled it with strips of paper with "top ten reasons I love you". I used a retired valentine set, and it was fairly sinple, but DH really loved it, and has kept it. I'll see if I can find the issue in my stash. Other ideas would be to use Loads of Love, or the elephant from Wild About You.

The Feb issue of Papercrafts had some great valentines that could double as anniversary cards.

Just a quick thought, you could use any hearts or the letter "U" for an anniversary card. "I love U"??

For the Love of Chocolate is a great set to use. Perhaps you could also look at Artifacts... that clock in it would be great with a sentiment about love over time....

thanks

Hmmm you just gave me a idea..I ordered from orential trading a blank clock to stamp myself maybe i should put some family pictures on it and give that to him from me and the kids for ANNIV..you all are great oh and what is artifacts? not sure?

I tend to use more patterned papers for cards for my DH, and not so much stamps. Here are links to the cards I've made for him lately, just in case they help:

I love that idea! My husband is better with crafts/more creative than I am, so I struggle with making anything for him! This "ten reasons" idea is a great one, thanks for sharing!

[Gladys Beth ann]

I should have mentioned in my last post that I was responding to the post about a pocket card with "ten reasons why I love you"!

[tammiejostamps]

I'm afraid that I'm going to have to steal your idea on the clock! My hubby is very hard to buy for or to make things for. I think he would like this!

Thanks for the idea!

I'm having a similar dilemna. After not dating for years, I need a card for a new "boyfriend" that is not too seriously mushy. I've got to have it for Friday and I don't have a clue.

[Ouch!PaperCut]

it's hard because they know what we can do with all the stuff we have, and what it all cost!

Does anyone know which Paper Crafts issue it was in? I would love to see samples of the "Top Ten reasons" idea! Thanks!
