As overachieving people pleasers, we often find ourselves saying yes before we even consider our own needs and desires. YES, WE CAN…but do we want to??
This year, let’s put a foot down and say, “No, I’m not gonna!” We are embracing boundaries. We are NOT people pleasing. We are putting our own mask on first!
The Just Say No pin collection is a fun reminder and announcement to the world that boundaries are good, actually.
We've saved some pins for stretch goals! We'll unlock these scamps at the following funding levels:
Contrarian Capybara: unlocked at $4,000
The More You No (aka Jackanope): unlocks at $5500
Fuck No Marquee: unlocks at $7,000
Collab Sticker: A special sticker made with Kim Kuzuri and FREE to all backers if HEX! reaches $4.2k and Just Say No reaches $9k!
Personal Space Snake: unlocks at $12,000
Backers' Vote: unlocks at $15,000
• Backers' Vote - Embroidered Patches or Acrylic Keychains: unlocks at $18k
• Backers' Vote - New pin: unlocks at $21k
And just in case you need somewhere to keep all of these pins, we're excited to once again be partnering with Carly K of Dragon Woodshop to offer a couple of fabulous and fun pin display boards!
AND if you're a returning Backer we've got an extra freebie sticker just for you. 💖
Welcome to Pintopia — a celebration of creativity and collaboration from a diverse group of artists collectively running enamel pin crowdfunding projects from March 28th–April 18th.
Freebie Cross-Collaboration Pins — All 125+ Pintopia creators 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. The more pairs of Pintopia creators you support, the more free pins you will earn. ✨

Due to the unpredictable nature of the shipping and manufacturing process, these estimates are subject to change in either direction. We'll be sure to send progress updates regularly until fulfilled.
April 18, 2024: Campaign ends, and funds will be received 2-3 weeks after.
Late April-Early May: Surveys sent to backers

Manufacturing We'll be using trusted manufacturers that we've worked with before, but occasionally things happen and there are minor delays in manufacturing.
We will always be upfront with backers along the way. We will disclose any setbacks, delays, and any other pertinent updates.
It's important to understand that this is a crowdfunded campaign. Crowdfunded campaigns are often subject to delays due to unforeseen circumstances. Please also understand that money pledged to a crowdfunded campaign is a donation or investment. This is not an online store and you will not immediately receive your rewards after pledging.
Please note that minor changes may occur in production, and that the images presented here are mockup designs. There is a possibility of slight changes in color and size in the physical item.
Please see our Frequently Asked Questions for more details about variations in the final product, our refund and exchange policy, forfeiture of rewards, and other important information.
Lost or never received packages We make every attempt to get your package from our facility to your home. Packages for this campaign will come with a tracking number. Regardless of tracking numbers, sometimes packages are lost in the mail. We will notify backers with an update when the project is near completion. If you have not received your package by the completion of the shipping process, you will have an extended period of time to contact us about a missing package.
