The Sugar & Spice enamel pin collection actually features 3 different themes: Smutty Books, Dirty Talk, and Candy Hearts. Each theme consists of its own collection of designs that you can mix & match or collect them all!
This collection consists of 10 pins (for now!) featuring different smutty literary genres! Perfect for fans of steamy romance literature.
The Trans Smut pin is a special pin for this campaign. As a way to help my local queer community, all proceeds collected from sales of this pin will be donated to the Iowa Trans Mutual Aid Fund. Smutty pins for a cause!
A continuation of my previous spicy pin collection, these add in some fun manga-style sound effects, speech bubbles, and other saucy sounds! This collection consists of 10 new pins.
Based on Valentine's conversation hearts, this collection features mini heart-shaped pins have a steamy twist thrown in to pack an extra spicy punch!
There are two ways to collect these pins: you can pick a specific phrase (or a few!) to collect, or you can leave it to fate with Candy Heart gachapon bags!
There are 3 different kinds of gachapon bag for the candy hearts: 3 pins, 5 pins, and "rainbow gachapon" which contains 7 pins. Each gachapon bag will come with the listed number of random candy hearts pins, except the special rainbow gachapon bag which will come with 1 of each of the 7 colors with random phrases.
There are 20 different phrases that can come on one of at least 3 potential colors out of 7: pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, or white.
Each pin will be .75", gold plated with hard enamel. The phrase will be screen printed.
Disclaimer: I will do my best to not have duplicates within 1 single gacha bag, but please be aware that if you purchase more than 1 gacha bag, you may receive duplicates.
You have the option of adding additional pins, gachapon bags, and other items to your pledge for Sugar & Spice. There are two ways to purchase addons:
Option 1) Purchase add-ons during the campaign when you make your initial pledge. Available add-ons are listed in the Add-ons section of the campaign page. The cost of these items will be added to your base pledge level cost.
Option 2) Choose a pledge level during the campaign, and wait until you receive the post-campaign survey, during which more add-ons will be available. You will be charged first for your base pledge level from the campaign, and then again a 2nd time after the campaign for add-ons purchased during the survey.
Please be aware that purchasing add-ons may incur additional shipping fees.
For Sugar & Spice, I have enabled BackerKit's beta Pay Over Time feature! This means that for pledges that cost over $150, when you check out for your selected pledge and add-ons, you have the option to select Pay Over Time to pay for your pledge in 4 equal interest-free payments over the course of 4 months, instead of it all in one lump sum at the end.
Please note the following if you select Pay Over Time:
Your rewards will not ship unless you have paid for all 4 of your payments in full.
Partial payments are not eligible for a refund. For more information on refunds, please check the disclaimers section or the FAQ.
You will not be eligible fill out your survey until you've paid for your pledge in full. Once you pay in full, you'll receive a survey invite automatically. I will do my best to make sure I order enough product to account for potential gaps in item counts.
Shipping for Sugar & Spice orders will be charged AFTER the campaign and is not included with your pledge.
Please see a table below for estimated shipping costs. These are subject to change.
UK Backers
If you wish to pledge to the campaign and you live in the UK, please message me directlyHERE.
In your message, please include:
desired pledge level
desired add-ons, if any
which designs you want to receive (including for pins, and any extras)
your country of residence (your full address will be collected later)
any other information you think could be relevant to your pledge
Using this information I will set up a reserved Etsy listing for you at the cost of that tier plus shipping when the project is ready to ship (estimated around September-October).
Please keep in mind that you will be charged VAT on top of the shipping cost.
**I am not responsible for any additional tax or import fees incurred upon reception of your package.**
EU Backers
I deeply apologize for this, but at this time, due to the confusing GSPR laws recently passed, I am unable to accept pledges from anyone within the EU. I'm so sorry, and I know that this will come as a disappointment to repeat backers from the EU.
You may look into proxy services that will reroute your package through other available countries, but sadly I cannot ship directly to the EU at this time.
Thank you for understanding, and I'm sorry for any inconveniences this may cause.
February 14: campaign launches
February 28: campaign ends
Early-mid March: surveys sent out
March 31: survey submission deadline
Mid April: contact manufacturers and begin pin production
July-August: grading & other fulfillment processing
September-October: begin fulfillment and shipping (Also, international backers through Etsy will be charged around this time)
Please note these are estimates and delays may occur. I will always keep backers informed of any delays during the course of the campaign.
As I'm sure many of you are aware, I am still in the process of fulfilling my previous campaign BloodLust, and am also planning to launch another enamel pin campaign in March called Cryptid Crushes.
I want to be up-front with potential backers of this campaign & how my previous, current, and future campaigns will be impacted by having such close dates with each other.
I am a full-time artist and running campaigns like this is what I would describe as my main line of work, so I have full confidence in my ability to run this campaign and also fulfill my previous campaign, BloodLust, within the originally outlined time frame, and run my next campaign Cryptid Crushes without issues.
I do want to make sure that backers are aware that I will not fulfill Sugar & Spice before I launch my next campaign, Cryptid Crushes.
Because they are running so close together, I will actually be able to fulfill them at around the same time as each other.
I hope that makes things clear! If you have any questions or concerns regarding this, you can always leave a comment or discussion thread on this campaign, and I will answer to the best of my ability.
I would be absolutely thrilled for you to check out my next campaign I will be launching in just a few weeks: Cryptid Crushes!
Cryptid Crushes is a continuation of my Monster Match set, and will feature 9 fan favorite cryptids turned into sexy pinup boys for people to fall in love with! From Mothman to The Jersey Devil and Nessie and more, you have your choice of heartthrob cryptids to crush on!
Combined Ordering:
If you want to back Sugar & Spice but you're waiting to save money for Cryptid Crushes, fear not! I will be taking preorders for the same Sugar & Spice pins during the survey stage of Cryptid Crushes as well, so if you can't back Sugar & Spice now, you'll get another chance to get the pins during Cryptid Crushes! :)
Hey there! My name is Rain, and I am the sole artist of HoloRaindrops, and the creator of the Sugar & Spice pin collection! I had such a delightful time designing all these pins, and it warms my heart to see that people like you can connect with them!
Since you're here, I assume you're at least a big of a fan of smut and spice as me! If that is the case, then you might enjoy following me on one or a few of my social media pages listed below :D I typically enjoy drawing pretty boys and a lot of gay shit.
Since starting my first crowdfunding project in 2019, I have successfully run, funded, and completed multiple crowdfunding campaigns for enamel pins over the years, on both Kickstarter and BackerKit. This will be my 8th enamel pin campaign.
Returning backers will know that even through hiccups during the campaign, whether it be manufacturer issues or personal life things getting in the way, I have always delivered gorgeous high-quality products in the end.
I promise you can trust me to follow through and deliver you beautiful pins!
Refunds must be requested within 30 days after the campaign's end date. I will not accept refunds after this cutoff.
Backers are given ample time to make decisions while the survey is active. Once your order is locked in, I will not accept any refunds or exchanges.
If your rewards arrive damaged during transit, please reach out to me with photos to see what can be done.
Surveys
Surveys will be sent out after the campaign's completion. Surveys are mandatory - this is where you will choose which rewards you want to receive and also where you will submit your shipping information. If I do not receive a survey response, I cannot send your rewards.
Forfeiture of rewards
Ample time is given for backers to submit their surveys to receive their rewards. If I do not receive a survey response from you by the time shipping is complete, you will forfeit your pledge and your rewards. I will not fulfill or refund forfeited rewards after the posted completion date.
Import fees
I am not responsible for any additional import fees or taxes that may be incurred during the shipping process for international (outside of the USA) orders.
Grading
All pins are graded for quality assurance. Please note that all pins are handmade items and often have minor cosmetic imperfections (even those of A/Standard grade).
A Grade/Standard grade imperfections include but are not limited to:
minor surface scuffing on the enamel or metal plating
very small specs of dust in unnoticeable areas
minor/unnoticeable enamel underfill
minor/unnoticeable air bubbles
small specs of dust in soft enamel pins
fluctiations of color patterns in rainbow anodized plating
small air bubbles in epoxy coating on pins that have it
slightly offset screenprinting on pins that have it
Color & Size
It is vital to understand that all the images in this campaign are NOT photographs, but artist mockup of the pin designs. Due to manufacturing constraints, differences in colors of monitors between computers/phones/tablets etc, there likely will be variations between the images in the campaign and the final product.
Risks & Challenges
I have past experience with making enamel pins so I don't expect there to be many issues, however there's always the possibility that unexpected delays can occur due to manufacturer mistakes, shipping delays, and/or quality control issues.
There is also the possibility that I may have to make small tweaks to the designs to maintain the integrity of the pins but there should be no major changes in overall design. I will always convey any issues that come up with backers through the updates section.
If I receive the pins and a design has a consistent flaw across majority of the pins, it will be considered standard grade for that batch.
If the flaw is something I consider major, however, I may have to reorder flawed pins which will cause shipping out rewards to be delayed. All this will be conveyed through post-campaign updates.
There is also the possibility that not all pin designs get funded. If this happens please understand that only the unlocked designs & items will be available as rewards. In the case the project does not get funded at all, you will not be charged and the pins will not be made.
Lastly, I am only one person running everything and sometimes unexpected personal emergencies can come up and cause delays, so please understand that! Again, I will communicate everything through the updates.
