Hi everyone! Quick exciting update :) The pins have arrived and I am working on sorting through them so I can start packaging and mailing them out for everyone soon. Keychains should be here shortly as well so all packages can be put together.
I am looking at starting some bulk mailings within the next 2-3 weeks as I am sorting on my own with the occasional help from my husband when he isn't working, but am super excited to get these pins out. I'm very happy with how they turned out and thank you all for the support again so these pins could all be made. <3
Hi! Just wanted to do a small update and let you know how the progress is. 1 of the 4 bigger pins is fully complete and on it's way to me, and I'll show you more detailed photos when it arrives. All 8 mini paws are in full swing of production, getting small adjustments as it goes. Things are on schedule so far, hoping to ship late November and avoid most of the Christmas rush! Added some photos so you can see the progress <3
Small update-update(next day) - The first batch of pins arrived! I adore them, they came out super close to my vision, have a look. All of these will be looked through and graded tonight, ensuring you all get A-grade pins <3
Hi everyone! I am just letting you know that i am currently working on shipping out all you orders 😊🏳️🌈 Thank you so much for your support and patience 🥰❤️
Thanks so much for your patience during the production period, this is the quiet part of the campaign where everything is ticking along in the background.
I have set surveys to lock in 48 hours - you will be able to update your address after this time but no more changes can be made to your pledge items once surveys are locked.
I am hoping to have progress photos to share with you all soon!
Production has started for the plain snails, we've got quite the army going on right now!
A veritable rainbow of snails finished with keyring and Sewpoke tags
The mini pins are arriving via Pin & Tonic and as soon as they're here I can begin shipping, so that's when orders will lock and cards will be charged. I apologise I can't give you a definitive date yet but I promise you'll get some warning! On that note, a couple of you haven't filled in your surveys yet! Please do this ASAP to help me get the most accurate counts for production!
The personalised snails will be under way in the next couple weeks.
The final files for the enamel pins and sticker sheets have officially been sent off for production! 🎉 Everything is now moving into the manufacturing stage, and I’m so excited to finally see these designs become real, physical goodies.
What happens next?
The current production timeline is approximately one month. During that time, the pins and stickers will be manufactured, finished, and prepared to make their way to me.
Once everything arrives, I’ll be able to:
Inspect and quality-check the pins
Sort and organize all of your rewards
Get accurate packaged weights for each order
Finalize and collect shipping charges
Start packing everything for fulfillment!
Please keep in mind that the one-month timeframe is an estimate, since manufacturing and transit times can occasionally vary. I’ll keep everyone updated if anything changes along the way.
I’ll also share another update when I receive production photos/proofs or when everything is officially on its way to me!
Thank you so much for your patience and for supporting Carnival of Colors. Seeing these little Pride Jesters go from drawings on my screen to actual enamel pins is incredibly exciting, and I can't wait for you to finally have yours!
Soooooo.... I'm making a poor financial decision. I saw theres a decent interest in Huskerdust and Superbat and honestly, I love them too. So, I'm self funding them. They're still available as add ons right now so you can still add them if you're interested!
Hey backers We have just finished checking the pins last night. we are a bit disappointed with the manufacturer as a lot of the pins look scratched due to the black nickel so any other Pride eyes made will be Gold and not black nickel. We are still waiting for the other pride eye samples that have not been finished yet. There will only be 4-10pcs made as they did not get funded.
Orders will be locking within the next 2hours or so for some of you. once that happens, we will start putting the orders together and getting them ready to ship. for people that are waiting for the CvK pride pins your orders will not be started yet as they are still working on the other pins.
