As Ramadhan draws near, I have been incredibly busy preparing and I am nearly complete. I just have cleaning to do and I think I should be done! It's... been... hectic!

But in all the chaos - pretty things emerge.

Sara from Parenthood Muslim Style created an activity for her kids where each day of Ramadhan an envelope will be opened containing a word from the Qur'aan and then they will find that word in the Qur'aan. 
I thought this was a great activity to do this Ramadhan for my daughter and my siblings and so I took this activity and instead of printing out her PDF, I created my own envelopes and cards and I will show you how. I still use the words in her PDF and sketched her drawings too. Here's where you can find her PDF, it's beautifully made and  I really recommend it!  CLICK BELOW!
RAMADHAN 30 DAY ACTIVITY
When printing out- make sure to select multiples in the printing section; this way you can get 4 words on 1 sheet.

Now onto the tutorial:

I took white cardstock (from Poundland so nothing expensive or fancy) and die cut 30 stitched heart envelopes. 




 Of course, if you do not have a die-cutting machine you can, print out this free printable:

Heart envelope printable

(print it out 30 times and fold across the dash lines to form a rectangle envelope.)

with the stitched heart envelope die set, it comes with a die that cuts out a scalloped note card that fits perfectly inside the envelope. 

I also die-cut 30 of these from the same white cardstock. Using the words from Sara's PDF, I wrote an Arabic word on each card and drew a picture too.


I took the honeycomb background stamp by My Favorite Things to stamp the back of the hearts in yellow ink. I found using it this way to be faster and had a better impression than using the Tim Holtz Stamping platform. Make sure to use scrap paper as to not get ink all over your hands.


Next, using an alphabet stamp, stamp out days 1 - 30 on each envelope heart. I also stamped this cute bee and its trail. 
The stamps I used where Clarks ABC's and Hello Sunshine, both from Lawn Fawn.
