How This Works



Pledge NOW and pay LATER - BackerKit works as an all-or-nothing funding goal. If at the end of the campaign, we have reached our goal, your card will be charged. On the other hand, if we do not make the goal, you will not be charged a thing!

Designs unlock as the campaign is funded - it's best to pledge early to ensure your favorites get funded!

Returning Backers will also get a FREE STICKER when they back the campaign!

Collab Designs



Freebie Cross-Collaboration Pins — I have paired up with a fellow participant to create two unique pin designs together. If BOTH projects reach their initial funding goal, backers who support BOTH will get the TWO [2] cross-collab pins for FREE! One from each creator. 

I've teamed up with JBlake Design to create 2 great exclusive pins that you can receive! Backing both her project and Stories of Shadow (this campaign) will earn you both of these pins! *BOTH campaigns must reach their initial funding goals!

This is a separate incentive from the Pintober Mini Candy Pins, but backing both of our projects would count towards the 3+ project support needed to receive the Mini Pins!



Back Muerte & Magic II to get these pins here

Our Collaboration pins:



Back both of our campaigns, you could get both the Pintober mini pins AND the collaboration pins!

Campaign Goals


 
Each design has a specific milestone that must be met in order to be unlocked and available for production.
The initial goal is for $ is to fund the first pin. The more raised, the more pins will go into production!

This is an all-or-nothing campaign, so you won’t be charged right until the end of the campaign.
Once the campaign concludes, and if it is fully funded, surveys will be sent out. During these surveys, you will be able to make final add-ons and select your pins and other pledged rewards. 

The initial goal for the campaign is $800 to fund the first design:
