I’m Liz, the artist and one-woman holiday workshop behind A Very Merry Christmas in July — a festive collection of holiday and Christmas-themed enamel pins designed to bring some cheer to your pin boards, even in the summer heat.
 
The Snarky Company is a women-owned, AAPI small business. I’ve been making pins since 2018, and over the years I’ve launched 12 successful crowdfunded campaigns — including Own Your Stigma, which raised over $200,000 with support from more than 5,000 backers and preorder customers, making it one of the most funded and backed enamel pin projects on Kickstarter.

I reside in Raleigh, NC with my partner and our two very spoiled dogs, Mochi and Yuzu. When I’m not working, you can usually find me lifting weights in the gym, reading romance and fantasy books, playing video games, hanging out with my pups, or on a quest to find the best Japanese food — especially matcha and hojicha lattes.

Whether you're a year-round holiday enthusiast or just here for the sparkle, I hope you find something in this collection that makes your season a little brighter (even if it’s only July).

A Very Merry Christmas in July - will be The Snarky Company's 13th crowdfunded pin collection.

🎄backers who pledge to both A Very Merry Christmas in July (Snarky Co.) and Cowboy Christmas (Kimchi Kreative) will get a free pin from each campaign

🎄 Backers who pledge to all 6 PinKids Collective projects will get an additional free jumbo pin
(that means if you pledge to all 6 campaigns you'll get 7 free pins total)

Pin Kids Collective is an exciting collaboration between multiple talented creators, each launching their own independent, crowdfunded enamel pin project. Every creator brings their own unique theme and artistic style to the table, making each collection distinct and one-of-a-kind.

Pledging to two paired projects means free rewards! Pledge to Hearth's Warming and Treat Yo'Shelf to earn a free pin from both creators. And if you back all six projects, you’ll receive an exclusive free JUMBO pin — a perfect reward for supporting the entire collective that will go beautifully with the paired freebies! That means you can earn SEVEN free pins!

In this section you can view the optional items that can be purchased as add-ons along with your pledge.

There are two options when it comes to adding 'add-on' items to your pledge:

1) You can navigate to the add-ons tab on this campaign page. If you choose to add an item to your pledge, when the campaign ends you will be charged for your pledge level and the add-on item. When you receive your survey the add-on item you purchased along with your pledge will automatically be in your order items list. Please note that some add-ons come with additional shipping costs due to size or weight. You won't pay those additional shipping fees at the time of your pledge, they will be paid within your survey post campaign.

2) You can choose just a pledge level, which you will be charged for when the campaign ends. When you receive your post campaign survey there will be an add-ons section that contains all the add-ons you see here. You can then add additional items in your survey and pay for those items and your shipping costs within your survey.

Please note that not all the available add-ons will appear here on the campaign page. Occasionally, add-on items are designed during or after the campaign and only make an appearance within the add-ons section of your survey.

IMPORTANT INFO - Shipping costs will be charged to you AFTER the campaign and SEPARATELY through your BackerKit survey.

Below you'll find shipping rates for different regions. These flat rates apply only to your pledge level, and are subject to changes depending upon shipping rates when the campaign ends. If there is a shipping increase it will only be between $1-$2.

Please note that pledges or orders that contain wood and felt pin displays will be subject to higher shipping fees. 

Add On Item Shipping Fees - You will have the opportunity to add on extra items in your post campaign survey. Add on items may come with additional shipping costs depending on the final weight of your order.

All orders are shipped through USPS and come with tracking. International backers are responsible for their own countries VAT or import taxes/fees.

When shipping internationally we will make every effort to properly fill out customs forms. We will abide by your countries customs and shipping laws, which means we will denote the package value as the cost of your order, and mark this as merchandise. Please do not ask us to change the value of your package, or mark it as a gift. We are not responsible if your country holds your package and requires extra payment to release it.
