The pins are finally here!! They arrived by surprise yesterday I was not expecting them at all.
Ive had a quick survey of them and they look great! I have still no clue what happened with Manu, they've reference again something happening but I haven't pried in case it's something personal. IDK
I'm going to start shipping right away! You've all waited long enough for these pins so I want them too you as soon as I can get them!
If you paid for tracking youll receive an email when your package ships with the tracking.
I don't believe there's any shipping delays right now, so international packages should take 2-5 weeks and UK 2-5 days hopefully.
Thank you all again for your patience and support!
All packages have now been shipped! Thank you all for your patience!
Please make sure when you receive your package that you check you received all you were supposed to get asap! If there is anything wrong with your package please message me DAY OF receival to [email protected] with a photo of what you received (including packaging if possible) and the email your pledge is associated with so I may check on it!
My manu is like 99% done with the pins, there's one that is being redone as the colours were off. They've told me, everything should ship in about 2 weeks (so once the final pin is redone)
Everyone's address is still unlocked, so if you need to make any changes now is the time to do so! I'll be posting when the pins get here and that is when addresses will be locked so i can start shipping.
Heres some more pictures :3
I ALSO realized i never posted the Washi tape returning backers are receiving!
I still need to take some photos of the real thing oops.
I'm happy to say this campaign is complete! I'm going to mark this campaign as "closed" at the end of the week, Sunday April 27th, 2025. As a reminder, any surveys that aren't filled out by then will be canceled and I don't offer refunds. Those pledges will be a donation to the campaign.
I can't thank you all enough for your patience with me as I learned how to do this whole process. I can't stress enough how you really made this an amazing first campaign and have really given me the itch to do more! Which I already have ZODICATSin the process of designs and ideas for at least 2-3 more campaigns already! Though, as I've stated before, we'll see how well those go forward with all the tariff bs going on.
If you've enjoyed my campaign and want to follow me in other places:
(If any of these links don't work I will shake them vehemently until they do! ヾ(≧へ≦)〃) I'm also working on building a website so I can put up all my B grades and other merch I have. I don't know when that'll be live, but I'm sure to post about it on bluesky and patreon for sure!
As the title shows, I've finished packing up all orders for this campaign!
There are about 77 still remaining in my house that are scheduled to be picked up and shipped tomorrow. If you got a tracking code email within the last few days, you should be seeing those updating here in the next day or two.
With that, this project is now complete. I will be marking the project in BackerKit as "closed" in a little under 2 weeks on May 2nd, 2025. That will mark the official completion date of the campaign. Any surveys that haven't been filled out by then will be marked as canceled and as a reminder, I do not offer refunds, so those pledges will be considered a donation to the campaign.
Thank you so much for your patience and support for this self-indulgent set, I hope you love the pins once they're in your hands!
Leftovers
I do have a decent handful of leftovers and b-grades from the campaign, so those will be listed on my online shop as soon as I'm able to. You can shop my online store at: shop.holoraindrops.com
As a heads up, I am working on transferring my online store to a new platform, so there might be some outages while I get everything set up.

Just a quick update. I have done around 40% of the shipping! I hope to have all packages out by probably next week. Be sure to check your email associated with your account to see if you got any shipping notifs, or your junk mail as I have had stuff from backerkit or even my own business email get sent to people junk mail.
Thank you all for your patience! I will be back with a new update when all packages are shipped!
I've just about got all the packages sent out!! Only have a few more left to send off and then I'll have them all out! It's been an incredible journey from start to finish and I can't thank you all enough for pledging and supporting me!
BAD STUPID TARIFF NEWS I do want to mention here that I'm very uncertain about my next campaign. Due to the tariffs that are put in place against China (upwards of 104%) it makes this very unfeasible. It makes being a creator and artist even more of an unstable job as I've already seen manufactures raising their prices here in the USA. And it makes me, and many other creators, very upset. I'm very uncertain if my next campaign ZODICATS will be feasible. I've already done thinking on prices pretariffs and I would hate to have to triple those prices to cover the cost of them. Nobody wants to spend $75 for a single 2" pin. That is an insane price. For now I'm going to keep things on track in hopes that things change back to more normal-ish. Just don't be surprised if I have to cancel this campaign before it even starts.
Also please be aware that tariffs affect supply chains for many other businesses. So prices will be going up on everything everywhere to cover those costs. Please do you best to continue to support small creators. Follow them, like their stuff, shop in their stores, share it with friends. Creators need all the help they can get right now.
I want to say thank you again for the support on Black Cat Magic. I have genuinely loved every part of making this campaign and I truly hope I can continue to make more. If you'd like to follow me in other places and like/support my works, you can find me:
Hey vampire lovers! I'm here with a quick update for you about fulfillment. I've started shipping packages out starting with the higher tiers working my way down to the smaller ones.
Some packages have already been delivered and I'm so happy to see you guys enjoy the pins!
One other thing I wanted you guys to know is that while I am trying to get packages out as quickly as I'm able, I'm also trying to balance 2 other campaigns and some other life things right now. I'm still set to get everything out on time according to the schedule, but it may take a couple weeks for all the packages to be sent out.
Next time you hear from me should be when I'm done shipping.
I appreciate your patience with this, and as always, thank you!
I'm so close to getting everything shipped out! I've been tutored in the ways of fulfillment and I've already started to pack a few orders!! That being said, I won't be able to get anything actually out until about Monday/Tuesday at the latest. I'm waiting on one last thing to arrive before I can ship things out, but SOON!! (Full transparency the pin manu didn't give me rubber backing for all the pins and I ordered a bunch of them so I could deliver what was promised. That's what I'm waiting on now QAQ )
I can't thank you all enough for liking my spooky lil cats and the support you've given to help make them become actual pins! You've really made my first campaign an incredible experience and I truly hope you love them as much as I do. I can't wait for you to have them in hand!!
And as an added plug here, I'm already building my next campaign! In case you missed me mentioning it before, the teaser page is currently live! It's going to be more cat themed pins based on the celestial zodiac signs! You can follow it here:
