I used the Stampin’ Up! Nailed It stamp set bundle to create a fun masculine valentine to share with you today.

My card design was loosely inspired by CAS(E) this Sketch #205.

And the valentine theme for my card was inspired by TGIF Challenge #91.

I started by adhering a panel from the Urban Underground Speciality DSP pack to a panel of Basic Black card stock with SNAIL.  Then I embossed two strips of Silver Foil Sheets with the ruler from the Build It Framelits Die and adhered them about 1/2″ from the right side and bottom of the panel with SNAIL.

I adhered a panel from the Urban Underground DSP over the embossed ruers with SNAIL and then added one final panel from the Urban Underground DSP over that layer with SNAIL.  I stamped the saw images from the Nailed It stamp set in Basic Gray Archival ink on a panel of watercolor paper and I used the Early Espresso and Basic Gray Watercolor Pencils to color the images.

I used an Aqua Painter to blend the pencils and then used a Delightful Dijon Stampin’ Write Marker to fill in the dots on the images.  I let them dry completely and then cut the images out with the Build It Framelits Die and adhered them with SNAIL to the card front.

I punched hearts with the Sweetheart Punch from Very Vanilla and Basic Gray card stocks and adhered them together and to the card front with SNAIL.  I stamped the sentiment in Basic Black Archival ink on a panel of Delightful Dijon card stock, cut it out with the Build It Framelits Die and adhered it to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I inked and stamped off twice the saw image from the Nailed It stamp set and then stamped it randomly over a Very Vanilla card stock panel inside the card.

You can see a complete list of supplies, including card stock cuts, at the very bottom of this post.
