About Our Founder

In April 2024, Juanita Sapp, avid papercrafter and scrapbooker created Purple Butterfly Smiles, Inc. to share her love of cards to bring smiles to those in need.

Juanita began this endeavor, as a way to give back to her community in a larger way. Being a crafter herself, Juanita knew firsthand the joy that a handmade gift could bring. So, with a heart full of compassion and a generous nature, Juanita created Purple Butterfly Smiles in hopes that it would one day find a way to give back to those in need.

​In April 2024 we took the first steps toward making Purple Butterfly Smiles a reality, With enthusiasm and excitement, we put out a call for handmade cards from our community and crafting friends. We will partner with local organizations and to distribute these beautiful cards to those in need at no cost. These initial days were exhilarating, and we quickly learned how important these distributions were to the organizations and the people in need that they support.

Purple Butterfly Smiles combines handmade creativity and uplifting others to let people know they are loved and not forgotten. We are honored to make this the heart of our organization.
