Time for the next seasonal sale! For anyone who missed the winter sale, here's how it works.
The seasonal sales are ready to ship items only. That means that there's no funding goal, and only items that we already have made are available. There are strict deadlines for getting out the surveys and shipping orders, and everything is laid out a little differently. You can either pick a bundle deal pledge for big savings; or choose the £1 a la cart option and both will take you to the add-on page. There will be many, many items to choose from here! So make sure you check out the categories section for the campaign that you want.
Keep scrolling for a peek at some of the items we have for you this time ~
Collab Announcement
Our winter partner is back for the summer, and we're collaborating with The Bestiary. Back both projects to receive a keychain from each.
Theirs is this adorable, 2" painted effect wooden bee and flowers keychain. And ours is a chonky summer jackalope, which matches our winter jackalope. It will be 2.5" with an epoxy coating on one side for a smooth finish.
Early Bird, Returning Backers and Prelaunch Followers
Same as last time, there's not really enough time for freebie mini pins. So, what we have instead;
Early birds will receive a random B grade pin. I have hundreds of perfectly good pins with very minor mistakes, like a wrong coloured spot or missing a tiny bit of screen print. If you order a B grade as part of your pledge I will make sure it doesn't double up.
Pre-launch followers will get a rainbow heart holographic sticker. Imagine the sticker is cut to the heart shape and the coloured part has a holo effect. They'll be 3" matt finish vinyl.
Returning backers will get a physalis branch metallic sticker. Imagine the sticker is cut to the shape of the branch, and it has a varying metallic effect on some areas. They'll be 3" matt finish vinyl.
Both sticker effects are very pretty but nearly impossible to photograph. As usual I will exchange them for a couple of random non holo/metallic stickers if you hate holo, just throw it in the notes section.
So, what've you got for me?
The seasonal sales are a great place to pick up freebies that you missed, get discounts on older pins and bundles, or to find extremely limited quantity prototypes. I love to test out new products and then half the time forget to ever list them - there are even some alternate pin colours I've forgotten to list before.
We have items all the way up to and including Literary Critters, although from the most recent campaigns there are no pins, just the sample/tester products that we had made before the campaign started.
Chances are, if there is a very limited stock, I won't be making them again or I changed the design for the final version, so if you like the look of something, grab it now ~
It takes a lot of time to set up for sales like this, so I don't always have photographs (if I stopped every time I found a missing stock picture, half of it would never get listed). Sometimes its just a diagram or a proof image. I do my best but you can always drop a message on a news post if you really, really gotta see something.
There's nothing much to update on this one, so I'll leave you with some item previews and hopefully see you when the sale launches!
My Ready-to-Ship shop is launching on July 14th as part of Summer Pin Sale Extravaganza and will be a great chance to pick up any pins, stickers and other items you might have missed from me. And of course don't forget to check out the other fantastic creators! There's something for everyone :)
As always, I'm offering incentives -
Pre-Launch Follower bonus: follow the campaign before the launch and receive TWO free stickers, a paper Pomegranate Sticker and a paper Spheroid Cells Sticker when you back the project. These are paper sticker versions of the glossy vinyl Pomegranate and Spheroid Cells that have previously been available in my campaigns.
My children have patiently (and excitedly!) watched my previous four campaigns. For this one, I promised to make their artwork into stickers! So I present to you...
Early Bird bonus: back the campaign within the first 48 hours and receive this adorable Pixie Dust Skateboarding Spider Sticker absolutely free.
Returning Backer bonus: if you've pledged to one of my previous projects then you'll qualify for a free Glow-in-the-Dark Dinosaur Sticker.
Hello! We won't be having many updates leading up to the event, but I wanted to declare our cross-collab freebies!
Cross-collaboration keyrings! Back this project and the 'Crooked Summer Sale' and get two pretty keyrings! A flower and bee-themed wooden keyring from the Bestiary and an adorable jumping Jackalope keyring from Kage Davies!
There is only a limited amount available (100 approx) since we had to order them in advance so they would be ready to ship! If we go over that count, you will be substituted with a mega mystery sticker pack!
It's less than 3 weeks until the Summer Pin Sale Extravaganza so I thought it was high time I let you know what I'll be offering in my Making With Biology Summer CELL-out!
All items are ready-to-ship and I've grouped items into bundles with vaguely descriptive names - there's a Playground Bundle and an Adventure Bundle, to name just two!
Each bundle can be found as a Pledge Level and as an Add-on, so that you can choose multiple bundles if you want to. A few of the items are available individually as Add-ons too - particularly items that have not previously been available to buy, either because they've been freebies in my campaigns or because they were made for events outside Backerkit.
I'll be posting six updates including this one on the run up to the launch on July 14th, so that you know what to expect.
So here's the first; it's the smallest bundle with just one item - okay okay, so not really a 'bundle' as such! The Mini-pin, choose 1 X mini-pin from the available mini-pins. It's great seeing all my mini-pins together like this :)
As always, there'll be Prelaunch Follower, Early Bird and Returning Backer freebies which I'll introduce you to in due course. The Early Bird and Returning Backer items feature artwork by my children - at long last I've given into their pleading and promised to make their adorable drawings into stickers! Watch this space!
