Hey there peeps!! Do I have a treat for you today. I celebrated my birthday recently and my guy made me a card!! With no help from me, he did this all on his own and I think he did such a GREAT job!!!
Isn't it cute!!! Look at the techniques he used that he didn't even know were techniques!! He used selective inking on the bunny, there are four on the stamp. He paper pieced that flower pot, yup my guy was a fussy cutter!! The flowers are one stamp stamped three times. Pretty good placement huh.
Hind sight, he says, the button was a mistake. He meant for it to be the sun, but decided later that it was lacking rays. He didn't want to go back to add them in, he thought he would mess up his work!! When I showed him this post he cringed at his button again!! Oh yeah...this one is special...I do love him so!!!
Our son was his critic telling him his color choices could have been a bit better! Hey, it took him an hour and a half. He also told him that he's gonna be in hot water with the other husbands who will be asked why they don't make birthday cards LOL!!! Oh the pressure!!!
I know he's anxious for comments. Shhhh, don't tell him I told you!! ~Lisa

What a sweetheart! He did a fantastic job!
That is precious. Please tell him the button sun was perfect. I think you have a keeper...card and husband. (You probably already decided that.)
What a sweetheart your husband is! wow, he paper pieced? Really good job!
I think this is the sweetest card EVER!! He did an awesome job...and now your son the critic will need to step up to the plate and make one as well!!! Treasure that one forever!
I LOVE this card!! I took up paper-crafting about 5 years ago and my stuff never looks this good!! If your husband keeps this up, we are going to start wanting to see a few technique videos from him---even if he doesn't know what the techniques are!! lol
This card is awesome!!! Not only did your husband do a great job with the various stamping techniques he used, but he also put so much thought, time, and heart into it. What a sweet guy! Definitely a keeper!
i think your hubby has a very good future as a cardmaker, lisa!! he did an amazing job creating this super sweet card!
I would have been in tears to receive such a heart felt handmade card from my husband! SUPER job Mr. My Paper Tales!
I hope your birthday was as wonderful as you! That is the sweetest thing I've ever seen! It brought tears to my eyes! Hes a keeper!!!
I think it's AWESOME and quite obviously made with Lots Of Love! Tell him 'Great Job' for me! :)
I am impressed! My DH barely goes into my stamp room, let alone make me a card!
Your DH did fabulous too! He's a keeper, that one :)
Shawn!!! YOU my friend are DA MAN!!! Oh I am so showing this to Tom - you rocked it buddy, color, design, techniques, and that button is just fine [though I admit to having no button skills at ALL - this tops Cheesecake by a mile! Lisa, you are well loved, and so deserving of it ... this is making me cry a little. Big giant hugs for the two of you! xxoo and thank you so much for sharing it.

Oh my gosh, your hubby is such a doll! I love that he did this for you and for a beginner it's awesome! I love how he triple stamped the flowers and I'm always a fan of paper piecing. All the other hubbies are in big trouble now! :D
Oh my goodness!! Keep him forever!! What a beautiful card too! He did a stunning job! Very cute card, and I think the colors are lovely!! Happy belated birthday! :)

Fussy cut all those flowers?! Oh my word--he is a keeper! Super sweet card & stamping the flowers 3 times is amazing! I'll have to write up what my hubby did one year--you'll get a kick out of it!
Oh my goodness you are blessed with the sweetest husband in the world! His card is wonderful! Happy belated birthday my dear!!!
This post and card made my heart happy. What a gem of a husband you have! I love hearing the behind-the-scenes facts and the fact your son got in on the action too. Such a fun post, Lisa!
This card is definitely a keeper- you may even need to frame it. :)
Oh, Lisa, what a sweetie your Sweetie is ... and with such creative flair! Such cool use of all those techniques and the yummy colours ... and the result ... soooo pretty! Bet that was your best birthday card/gift ever! Hugs, Anita :)
Oh, how sweet & wonderful! Happy belated birthday, Lisa!
Oh Lisa he is a keeper! What a lovely and heartfelt gesture. He did a fantastic job and I showed this post to my hubby!
Aww Lisa, this is so sweet and so is the card Hubby made for you. I think you should keep him:) The bunny and humming bird perfect! Well, done !
This card is so wonderful. Your husband really did a great job, and the one most outstanding feature of the entire card is the enormous amount of love that went into its creation. He's a keeper!!
Oh my God! He is so awesome :) love the card he made, looks like he is pretty much influenced by your style !
That right there is LOVE! So sweet and he did an amazing job, I quite like the colors! :)
Oh, you are so loved! Your hubby is definitely a sweetie and quite talented too. He did a fantastic job with your card--love the colors and the great placement of all those fussy cut blooms!
Now that is as sweet as can be. What a wonderful and loving husband you have. And his card is amazing.
Bravo! This is one card that I'm sure you will cherish FOREVER! His color choices are fabulous and his stamping superb! I'm so impressed with his skill!
Well, regardless, you have a keeper no matter how it would have turned out just for the beauty in expression for wanting to do something so meaningful for you. Now, this looks better than 90% who go to a card/stamp workshop for the first time!!!! Amazing job!
And Happy Birthday my friend! You are blessed as many of us are blessed for having crossed paths with you!
He did a great job, Lisa! You're one lucky lady! Happy belated birthday, love!
I think its fabulous that your husband spent so much time and effort to make a card. Love this paper pieced flower pot and huge bouquet.
HAPPY HAPPY HAPPY Belated Birthday Sweet Lisa!! =) Such a SWEET Husband and Card!! =) I LOVE the colors he used and all the details he added!! THANKS for sharing and hope you have an AMAZING WEEKEND!! =)
Lucky girl! Sweet man! Love his colors and how thoughtful he is!
I can't decide if you are lucky because you have a man who will share your interests. Or whether you are unlucky because you might find him in your crafting space using your crafting supplies more than you might like!! He did well!
