Hey folks! We've had a few inquiries about surveys so I wanted to clarify one point – backers who chose Pay Over Time will not receive a survey until the 4 payments are completed. That should occur in August. Once your payment plan is all paid up, you will automatically receive an invite to the survey.

For everyone else, we'll be locking surveys on July 31st. There are about 70 of you outstanding and we'd love to get your orders in ASAP to minimize fulfillment time. Please check your email (and spam folders) for the invite or reach out to us if you need the link to your survey (email us at [email protected]). 

Hi everyone! Thank you for your patience while we've been setting up the Pledge Manager. We just passed our review and everything should be good to go, so we'll start sending out the first batch of Backer Surveys later today. A random selection of backers will be part of this "smoke test" so that we can make sure the surveys are working properly (and iron out and any wrinkles if their not) and then the rest of the surveys will be sent out by this Friday!

Be sure to check your email inboxes for your Backer Survey, and if you don't receive one by Saturday June 28th, please reach out to us at [email protected]. Surveys will close and lock on July 31st.

And if you missed the live campaign, there's a second chance to get the oracle deck and all the other goodies in the Pre-order store!

Thank you again for your support! We're hard at work finalizing all of the art and guidebook content and we can't wait to get this project into the production phase.

Popping in to say thank you, thank you for your support for our National Parks Oracle Deck! This campaign has been a huge success and we are thrilled that we get to make this deck and its associated accessories. Thanks to all 672 backers, this has been the Honey Scamps Art Collective's biggest project yet. We are growing and that is in large part due to each of you!

What's Next
Now that the campaign has ended, we're excited to move into the next phase. We've already started working on the backer survey so that you'll be able to select your rewards and we can place orders with our manufacturers. We are expecting to have the survey out to y'all by mid-June.

We also plan to open the pre-order store for late pledges so stay tuned for that in the coming weeks.

For any retailers who are interested in stocking our deck, please reach out to use at [email protected]

We want to keep you informed every step of the way as we move into production and beyond, so we encourage you to continue following along on our campaign page for the latest updates and announcements. And as always, feel free to reach out to us via email if you have any pressing questions or concerns!

With gratitude,
The Honey Scamps Team

Hello dear backers!

We're in the final stretch for this campaign and the Tarotopia event, so we've released the final(?) round of stretch goals:

We also have a new poll to help us choose a third ink color to add to the bandana if we reach $50K in funding. Here's a close-up of the options we've come up with. You have until Wednesday morning to cast your vote.

We also wanted to send another shoutout to Draco Nouveau for collaborating with us! If you haven't already, go snag their gorgeous deck so you can lock in the exclusive cross-collab freebies!

Last but not least, thank you all once again for supporting this project, voting in our polls, and spreading the word. We're so excited we get to make this oracle deck happen and we hope it inspires you to get outdoors and see more of the parks!

You've done it again—we've just passed $42K in funding and unlocked the glitter firefly sticker! It's now available as an add-on (and will be included in the All-In tier automatically).

By a solid majority, backers chose the silver finish for the enamel pins, as well. The silver option is my personal favorite, so I appreciate the enthusiasm!

As promised, here are the mockups for the field notes covers. The pika has been unlocked, and we'll unlock the luna moth at $45K.

Today we're continuing on with our mini interviews so you can get a glimpse at the people behind this project. Here is a bit about me, one of the co-founders of they Honey Scamps Art Collective.

What is your favorite national park and why?
I love Pinnacles—the landscape feels like something from another planet and as a sci-fi lover, it's right up my alley! I visited as a young adult and enjoyed climbing through the rocks and acting like a cave troll. (I am nothing if not silly.)

What is your favorite card from this collection?
The pika is my favorite. Planning and defense are two values I hold dear as a person with a very analytical brain who also deals with a lot of anxiety. I also really like the dichotomy between this tiny cute animal being so fierce and territorial. I think Emily did a fantastic job capturing the spirit of what this animal and card are all about.

Share a memory of a visit to a national park.
I don't have a specific memory, but when my daughter was a baby, I spent a lot of time with her strapped to my back as we hiked through Redwood National Park, where her dad volunteered. She was absolutely delighted by everything she found. Seeing nature through a child's eyes is pure magic!

What is the next national park on your to-visit list?
I'd love to see Yosemite! I have lived in California my whole life, but have never had a chance to visit the most popular park here. I am hoping the stars align so I can see Firefall at Horsetail Fall with my own eyes.

Backers, do you have a favorite memory from visiting a national park? We'd love to hear more stories!
