Here is a vibrant thank you card made using the Beside Me stamp set and Full of Life dsp.
Main colours in this card are:
To recreate the beside me card, you will need:
Thick Basic White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Full of Life dsp – 5 ½” by 3”
Basic Black card – 5 ¾” by ¼” x 2
Basic Black card – 2⅞” by 2⅞”
Basic White card – 3⅛” by 3⅛”
Scrap Basic Black card
I flagged the bottom of the piece of Full of Life dsp and adhered one of the ¼” strip of Basic Black card to either side of the dsp. The panel was then glued to the Thick Basic White card front.

Using the Stylish Shapes Dies, I die cut a square from the 3⅛” by 3⅛” square of Basic White card. The image of the man and two children was then stamped onto the die cut stitched square using Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink onto scrap Basic Black card, covered it with White Embossing Powder and set using my Heat Tool. I trimmed it down and added it to the card front.
