Paper crafting from your home with an all inclusive kit via Zoom? A portion of sales donated to Breast Cancer Recovery Infinite Boundaries Retreats (BCR)? Double YES, please! I am hosting a Paper Crafting Night In that will benefit BCR. I’ll meet you on Zoom to do this. Just sign up to receive the kit by February 10th by clicking here. The kit costs $22 plus tax. Please Note: Supplies may be limited toward the end of the subscription period. So sign up now while you are reading this post!

If you want to do a porch pick up for a kit from my house in Sun Prairie, please check out with the PayPal option below. The PayPal option is only available until February 10th, 3pm central time. Thanks!

Sun Prairie Porch Pick Up

Pick up your Bouquet of Hope Paper Pumpkin kit from my porch in Sun Prairie. This kit is a fundraiser for Breast Cancer Recovery. I will email pick up details after payment has been received. Thanks for supporting BCR!

$27.00

At the end of the session, you should have assembled nine cards. A sample of one of the designs is shown below. It’s an all inclusive kit: patterned card bases, die-cut floral elements, ribbon, embellishments, a stamp set, ink spot, adhesives, clear acrylic block and envelopes all arrive directly to your mailbox if you sign up by February 10th. No additional supplies are needed to create the cards.

The kit’s exclusive Bouquet of Hope stamp set features supportive sentiments centered around comfort, care, hope, and love. We all know someone who could use a heartfelt, handmade card that gives strength during a difficult time. Hand made by you is even better.

It will be fun to meet some new people and paper craft while we are chatting. So let’s meet through Zoom on Wednesday, March 10th, 6:30-7:30pm to assemble the kit. I’ll email you the Zoom link closer to the date. If you can’t make the Zoom party, there are directions included in the box. A Youtube assembly video will be provided when the Zoom link is emailed.

Please note that Paper Pumpkin is a monthly paper crafting subscription option with either a monthly charge through the Paper Pumpkin website or bundle of few months for a single charge through my online store. If you no longer want to receive boxes after the BCR fundraising box, then simply cancel your account. It’s a great little activity that’s good for a few hours of fun. So I know you will want to continue getting boxes! You can also change the shipping address to a different location if you want to surprise someone with a box. Lots of options to continue the fun!

The retreat schedule is posted to their website which includes virtual and (hopefully) in person retreats for 2021 for all stages of women facing breast cancer. Please share this link with anyone that might need to attend retreat.

Thank you for supporting Breast Cancer Recovery! Looking forward to meeting you and stamping with you during the March 10th Zoom Make and Take Party!

Breast Cancer Recovery Bouquet of Hope Fundraiser

It was 10 years ago that I was about to have a lumpectomy for stage 2 breast cancer. I don’t talk about it much but the journey is with me every day. It was a steep decline and a long struggle back. My body could no longer fight cancer cells but it strongly resisted the chemotherapy. There was no treat in treatment for me.

The chemo nurses would give me literature to help with symptoms. The Breast Cancer Recovery brochure was among the literature. I set it aside for when I would have strength, keeping in mind the retreat dates printed on the brochure. That day came in 2012 when I decided to attend a retreat because the retreat curriculum is written by breast cancer survivors, office is staffed by survivors and retreats are staffed by survivor volunteers too. So they understood what I was going through and could offer next steps to build back a life.

Fast forward to 2021 where I have been a Breast Cancer Recovery volunteer since 2013 as retreat staff, doing the tough job of chocolate judge during a fundraiser, hosting Cards for Cause to raise funds for BCR and attending other fundraising events.

When the Bouquet of Hope Paper Pumpkin Kit was revealed, it was the perfect opportunity to offer this kit as a fundraising event for Breast Cancer Recovery. The kit provides supplies to create nine cards and coordinating envelopes, 3 each of 3 designs. It’s an all inclusive kit: patterned card bases, die-cut floral elements, ribbon, embellishments, a stamp set, ink spot, adhesives, clear acrylic block and envelopes all arrive directly to your mailbox. No additional supplies are needed except the Zoom link to create the kit along with everyone else during the Zoom Make and Take Party! If you can’t make the Zoom party, there are directions included and a Youtube assembly video will be provided.

The kit’s exclusive Bouquet of Hope Stamp Set features supportive sentiments centered around comfort, care, hope, and love. Such a versatile stamp set can be used throughout the year. We all know someone who could use a heartfelt, handmade card that gives strength during a difficult time. Hand made by you is even better.

Sign up for the kit by clicking on this link to be sent just this kit. CLICK HERE. Please Note: Sign up to receive this kit ends on February 10th. Supplies may be limited toward the end of the subscription period. So sign up now while you are reading this post! The kit costs $22 plus tax.

GM, If you are looking for something to do or know of someone you would like to surprise with a paper crafting kit, I can divert my May Paper Pumpkin box to any USA address. The shipping address needs to be updated by the 10th of the month to ship to you or a friend. That means, we have until about 8pm on May 10th to get the $25 PayPal payment and shipping details set. Click Contact above to snag my box for you! May kits are sold out so this is the only way to get a box if you are not already a subscriber.

If you miss getting my May box, you can look forward to signing up for your own box for the June kit. Full program details and sign up are through this link. Please make sure my name is somewhere on the screen so you are subscribing through me. This link should assign your purchase to me though.

Here are the kits from the last few months. It’s a surprise as to what is exactly in the box. But they do give some clues like project type, colors and themes for the upcoming month.

Have a nice day and thanks for stopping by!

Today is the last day to sign up to receive the April Kit!

Looking for fun projects the kids can do on their own or with minimal help from you? Paper Pumpkin is your answer! Kits are appropriate for all ages from early elementary school kids to working adults needing a little fun break to retired folks that are young at heart.

Paper Pumpkin is a paper crafting kit that is delivered directly to your mailbox. Give the kids the task of picking up the mail. They will be pleasantly surprised to find a box waiting for them towards the end of the third week of the month.

The April kit is focused around the idea of making connections with family. Watch the short video and keep your eyes peeled for a sneak peek of the design.

Here is the video for the March kit showing assembly in fast motion.

The project design is always a secret to help with the fun surprise. But, they have been giving clues as to what is in the box lately. So we know the April kit will be greeting card designs.

Here are the subscription prices. Purchase the 12 month option for the lowest price of about $22 per box, depending on the tax in your area.

Please use host code 94ZSGFHQ if your purchase is under $150. If it’s over $150, do not use a host code so you can spend all the host rewards. A 12 month subscription earns $22 in host rewards. Redeem the host rewards for a 1 month subscription to make a lucky 13 month subscription.

Please share this post with others that might like an affordable perk-me-up in their snail mailbox too! Thank you for sharing!
