Smoke tests sent, surveys this week
12 days ago – Mon, Jul 20, 2026 at 06:38:44 AM

Hi friends,

I've just sent out the smoke test for surveys! This means about 5% of backers in each tier will get their survey to fill out today. If that goes smoothly, the survey will be emailed to everyone else in the next day or so.

Although you can go back and edit your survey, I encourage you to fill it out as soon as possible. In this survey, you will be able to upgrade your pledge or add more add-ons if you wish, as well as select which card designs you want and provide your shipping address. A reminder that without your survey being filled out I will not be able to ship you your rewards! Please complete the survey by deadline, July 28. Currently we are still on track for delivery in August.

Thanks!

Thank you very much!

Hi friends,

Thank you so much for your support of this project! This was my first campaign not related to birds, and we raised $295!

If you missed the campaign but still want wildflower greeting cards, the pre-order store is now live.

Here's what's next in terms of the project fulfillment and what I'll need from you:

Payments: Any backers whose pledges didn't go through right away will have about two weeks to correct their payment information or follow up with their banks to make sure that the payment goes through if it was flagged as unusual. Once these two weeks are over, BackerKit will release the funds collected to me (minus their platform fee and the payment processing fees, around 10% total).

Surveys: You will receive an email in the next few weeks with a survey for the pledge manager. In this survey, you will be able to upgrade your pledge or add more add-ons if you wish, as well as select which card designs you want and provide your shipping address. Without your survey being filled out I will not be able to ship you your rewards!

Production and Fulfillment: I will be putting in the print order for the cards soon. My manufacturer estimates a lead time of 2-7 business days. Once I receive the campaign funds and surveys are locked, I will pack the orders and ship them out. With this timeline, I'm anticipating that the cards will be mailed to you in August.

Communication: I will send regular updates like this one throughout the process, including when surveys go out, when I receive the cards, and when I ship them. If you need any help with your pledge, first contact BackerKit support, as they will be more prompt in helping you. If you have any other questions, you can contact me at [email protected].

Thanks again!

Hi friends,

The campaign has funded on the first day! Thank you for such a great start. I'm very excited to make my watercolor sketches into cards!

Don't forget to vote in the poll for which painting is your favorite! 

Thanks,
