Smoke Test Surveys Out!!
Hey everyone! Smoke tests have been sent! To whoever got them- please fill them out asap and let me know if you encounter any issues!
The faster that the smoke tests are d...
We successfully raised collectively $4,316- funding 17 pins- ALL of the main stretch goals!! We also unlocked the free sticker pack for all backers at 100 backed- amazing!!
I want to thank everyone here who helped us reach our goal- and I cant wait to show you whats next?
With that said- what IS next? Well, over the next day or two I will be creating the survey and preorder store, and once theyre approved by Backerkit I'll be putting them live!
The Darktail, Sol, Midnight, and Scourge designs are not gone, do not worry!! They will be available to be purchased on the preorder store- with a slight catch. I have yet to do the math, but for example, Scourge might require 12 pins to be bought in order to be funded!
Here's an example of what it will look like (from my previous enamel pin campaign):
I will have the finished designs for these available before the surveys go up- I apologize for the delay!
The 1in Clan Symbol pins will also be available to unlock as well- and they will have a lower unlock price compared to everything else since theyre cheaper to make!
With that said- keep an eye out for the surveys and preorder store! I'll be making an update about it when surveys are sent out so be ready!!
ONE LAST THING:
Shadowsight's updated design is ready HOWEVER I did not want to do a change as drastic as this without getting feedback from the audience first!
All products WITH THE EXCEPTION of the Your OC As a Pin products have arrived! I have been diligently grading and packaging them, and will begin shipping the pledges out in batches! You will receive your tracking numbers as I ship them!
We're only 10 minutes into the campaign and we have already unlocked the first design, Lugia! All designs are now available to view!
I will have product photos of the pins, keychains, and stickerbooks available in a new update later this week! You can also join my Discord for early updates as well!
Firstly, a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who has purchased from my Etsy or subscribed to my Pin Club! I have been able to get in 2/3 shipments of pins, as am currently still waiting for the keychains, stickers, and stickerbooks!
As I'm working on the Choose Your Mentor pledges, pin club, and finishing up a couple of older pledges over the next month, I will be running PokéPostageSeries 2! It is a direct continuation of the first PokéPostage, found here.
This campaign will feature 15 new pins, and a freebie pin designed by one of my friends named FrostyPhoenix11! Frost not only did the freebie pin, but two of the main pins as well!
I have some campaign updates to share with everyone!!
First off, all pins are finished! The backing cards were finished last night and they have begun to package the boxes for me. They have not shipped to me quite yet, but they will be by Wednesday, and I'm hoping they will arrive by Friday, if not Monday! I will be including some photos at the bottom of this update of them! I'm EXTREMELY excited to have them in hand!
The only two things that are NOT finished yet are 1) if you pledged for the Your OC as a Pin tier- the artwork for your design has not been finished by Liv and I yet, meaning your pins have not been ordered. We're working as hard as we can to get them done asap however!
The second thing that is not finished is the keychains, stickers, ect! They were ordered a bit ago, but the manufacturer is unfortunately taking their sweet time. Chances are that the pins will arrive before the rest of the items will! I will keep everyone updated.

Tarriff Update
With all the positive news above, I wanted to touch on a couple things about the tarriffs. I know that the tarriffs look terrifying (they ARE terrifying), but I want to make sure that you guys know that I am going to do everything I can to not have the tarriffs effect my pricing.
I'm in talks with my manufacturer about the steps we are going to take from here in order to make sure that I can continue to do what I love.
With that said, I will not lie to you guys by saying I'm not nervous about the tarriffs effecting this shipment of pins, keychains, stickers and everything else. They officially go into effect on the 9th and my worry is that they won't be inside the US before then.
IF there are ANY tarriff fees associated with these pins, I am going to front all of the costs of it myself.
As a preemptive measure around this- I am running a sale on my Etsy! It is a flat 20% off the entire store- alongside a free shipping coupon I am extending to everyone here.
IF YOU USE THE FREE SHIPPING COUPON, YOUR ETSY ORDER WILL SHIP WITH YOUR BACKERKIT ORDER.
This sale is to help with any tarriff fees I potentially get (I am expecting it), if you so choose! I will still be fronting any extra fees.
These pins and stickers will NOT be centered solely around Pokémon, they will include anything from Warriors, to anime designs, to original animal arts (like my Raccoons!!)
The first two months are already decided- and then every month starting June will be voting!!
Please check it out if you are a fan of my pins/stickers- its the best way to get exclusive designs!
If you aren't a fan of the two designs for April, join my Discord ! I will be posting the new designs for the upcoming months there once theyre voted on!
The shipping discrepancy is 100% fixed thanks to Backerkit! I'm sending out a final reminder before locking orders so please be on the lookout for that! Once I lock orders, I will charge cards, and then I'll get the pin order going!
Thank you guys so much!
For those with the Your OC As a Pin tier, I am working on the pin designs for the references I have been sent so far! I will have updates on those soon!
