As we end the month of July, I just have to share with you three more cards I made recently with products from the Full of Life Suite, the suite my All Star group is featuring this month in our exclusive Video Class Bundle that you can either earn through a qualifying order during this month or purchase directly in my tutorials page. AND…there are just a few days left if you wish to purchase this month and the next 5 months worth and save.
I want to thank fellow demonstrator Kevin Theesen from Kreations by Kevin for the inspiration for 2 of today’s cards. I was a guest presenter for an event he had earlier this summer. There were lots of inspiring demonstrations, but his fun Full of Life “doodle” cards stuck with me and I couldn’t wait to try this idea. Thanks Kevin!
This first one is very similar to the look he added to his cards. He drew on squiggly line doodles to accent the decorative designs of the paper. Ta da! Isn’t it fun?! I used a thin Sharpie marker. But you could use any fine tip marker really. Doodle first on scrap paper to make sure you like the thickness of the black marker or pen you will be using.
Measurements for doodled circles card…
- Basic White Thick Cardstock
- 4-1/4” x 11” scored parallel to the short side at 5-1/2”
- 2″ punched circle
- Full of Life Designer Paper
- 4” x 5-1/4”

This second one shows where my mind went after seeing what Kevin did on his cards. Drawing zentangle-like designs within the confines of the colorful sections takes a bit of time though. So if you get more artsy and detailed like this, just know that it’s not a quick way to alter the paper. On my first card I used the 2″ Circle Punch and a die from the Stylish Shapes Dies for my sentiment area. On this card I used a die from the Friends for Life Dies in this suite for the sentiment area. The punched 1-3/4″ circle on the middle right side is from another matching sheet. Also…notice the Iridescent Faceted Gems? I have one in the middle of the raised circle on this Miss You card. And I have five on my first card.
By the way, do you see my mistake on this card? Comment below if you know.
Measurements for zentangle card…

All of the designer papers I used on these cards were partials and pieces left over from other cards I had already created. So for this last card, I had a thin strip and a wider strip with the same squares pattern. So I trimmed them to be the same width, added one at the top of the Basic Black cardstock layer and one on the bottom, added the 5/8″ tall white strip in between, glued on my layered die-cut “friend”, and stamped the “love you” to the left on the white strip. I added three Iridescent Faceted Gems to finish off the design: two in the o’s of the stamped words and one small one to dot the i in friend.
I just love how colorful and cheerful these cards are!

Ah! Rachel, it looks as if you forgot to do the design in the last little piece of green in the lower right hand corner. But my goodness! I’m thinking you were getting pretty tired and ready to be done by that time. Card looks great. I would have never seen the oversight unless you had said “Look for it!” Truly all the cards look great. I absolutely LOVE them!
Too funny! yes, that may have been the reason I missed it. It DID take awhile to add those lines. Thanks so much Bonnie! 😘
I agree with Bonnie. That last little green area isn’t very noticeable at all!
You found it too! Thanks Sarah.
