Project Update: 🎃 Monster Miaws Production Update!
Hello everyone, hope all is well!
As we await the pin production team to finish, I thought I would give some updates on the other goodies.
The Monster Miaw sticker sheets came out so nice! I found a new sticker paper that makes colors so crispy fine, paired with the matte laminate, they look sturdy and thick 😬 I still like my previous paper, but it had the manufacturer's logo on the backing, which was a micro bummer. But now it looks more profesh! 🧐
The magnetic bookmarks and tabs set is looking so spiffy. I am so pleased with how it turned out
I also want to give you all a HUGE THANK YOU! With your support, I was able to upgrade my cutting tool 🥰 What used to take forever, I can now do super quickly with the new stack guillotine.
I did this big stack of notes in about 15 minutes! Cutting backing cards and all my printed materials is now so much easier and faster, I CANNOT THANK YOU ENOUGH. I used to be able to do only 3 sheets at a time with the cutter I had, so it took a long time. Since I hand-make every item (except for pins and DTF UV Stickers), working faster is key. I truly enjoy creating things by hand, and being more efficient is very satisfying.
I am currently finishing the die-cut stickers; the UV DTF stickers will be ready this week, and I can't wait to go pick them up from the print shop. In the next update, I'll have more pictures. My mission is to have everything ready, so when pins arrive, it is go go go!
Again, thank you all so much. I love the community we are building 🥰
Keep it miaw & frisky,
Jen

Project Update: 🎃 Production Update
Passing by to do a quick update on the Miaw Producshuns ☺️
We are currently wrapping up the last details of the production setup and am currently waiting on the last color corrections response for the mockups phase. This means we are almost headed to the presses 💪
I wanted to send over a sneak peak of the backing card designs. For the Monster Collection we are doing a special backing card so the Monster Miaws have their own backing flair that distinguishes them from the other Noir Miaws, and Sailor Miaw will have the same backing as Tuxedo Miaw for continuity.
Also wanted to invite you over to check out my upcoming project Order of Apotheca which is part of Pintopia 2026 that goes live tomorrow. We have teamed up with Geekhive Labs for the collab with their Lunar Pals campaign and have lots of freebies lined up, as well as being a part of the Bloom & Burrow campaign coalition where you will find more campaigns with pawsome pins and lots of more freebies!

Project Update: 🎃 Monster Miaws: Campaign End and Next Steps
I want to send a heartfelt THANK YOU to every single one of you who backed, shared, or cheered on this spooky little collection.
This campaign was such a fun experience, bringing the Miaws into their monster forms was a blast, and your excitement truly made it special. You helped give life (or un-life 👀✨) to these mischievous Michus (our version of kitty calling), and I’m so grateful for your support.
IMPORTANT: We currently have 18 failed pledges in BackerKit. If your payment did not go through, please log in to update your payment method so your rewards can be secured and prepared for fulfillment.
What’s next:
- Sending artwork to production for final linework validation and Pantone color matching
- Preparing the surveys for your selections
- Setting up the Pre-Order Page for those of you who missed the campaign but still want Mosnter Miaws
- Sharing updates and production photos as everything progresses
We will also be taking part in the Holiday Market, where you’ll be able to shop ready-to-gift bundles and stocking stuffers that come in nice burlap baggies or envelopes. We will have art-prints, stickers, and pins carefully curated to make great gifts for your loved ones... or you!
These will ship out once surveys are completed, right after the Market ends. The goal is to work hard for you to receive your gifts in time for Christmas, within the limitations of postal service and where you live of course. But I will give it all I got to get your packages as fast as possible to you. 🎄✨ You can join using the banner below 👇
My big happy place right now is that we are currently producing Holiday Miaw who will hopefully be here in time to ship out with your chosen Holiday Market gifts! Stay tuned for confirmation 🤞
Thank you again for being part of this journey. Your support helps me continue creating characters, stories, and worlds that bring joy into your days. This means a lot to me since my mission is to create wonderful things that spread cheer, invite you to play and have fun 🫶
Stay spooky, mischievous, and charming, my fur-friends!
Jen + The Miaws 💜 🐾
