I hope you all got your packages safely and are enjoying your new pins!! :) If you were missing anything near the end of fulfillment last month, I shipped out any missing items that popped up in the last couple of weeks! So all those ready-to-ship orders from last month should now be complete/on the way to you! ✅ There was only 1 international package that was returned to sender, so I'll be emailing you shortly to figure out this shipping issue.

This is the small group of 5 backers/pre-orders that haven't had their cards charged yet or have failed payments for their shipping/extra add-ons from the survey. Any order that was over $45 in this group, I held off on charging because I didn't want to charge a larger order if someone needed to pay a bill first or didn't have the funds ready for that purchase.

‼️ If you're one of these last 5 backers in this group, you'll be getting an email from me shortly double checking that it is okay to charge your card for your shipping/add-ons so I can close this campaign.

➡️ Incomplete survey group
This is the group of 11 backers that haven't completed their surveys yet! If you're in this group, I just emailed a copy of your survey to you. As soon as I see a survey is filled out, I'll ship it out for you ASAP!

If you haven't seen my latest pin designs, these are currently being manufactured this month and I plan on fulfilling these orders ASAP once they reach my hands! I ordered enough leftover pins for last minute orders, so feel free to browse the Pre-order shop! Now that I have recent experience knocking out a large batch of orders all at once and a work station ready to go, I anticipate fulfillment taking much shorter: about 2 weeks after the pins arrive :) 
 

Persephone was the daughter of Zeus and Demeter, and she was the goddess of spring/agriculture. Persephone also became the wife of Hades, King of the Underworld which also made her the Goddess of Death and the Queen of the Underworld. She's the perfect Femme Fatale and the reason why I chose her as the special collab pin 🙏🏼🌹💞

➡️ Since I don't have many conventions lined up to vend at this year, if you could take a moment to share this campaign link above with your friends, family & social media, I would greatly appreciate the shares! :)

And again, thank you all so much for your amazing patience and support navigating through this pin campaign while I was sick last year. I cannot thank you enough for bearing with me during a hard time in my life trying to get back to normal again. 🥺🙏🏼💖 I am so happy to share my art with so many of you all around the world and I'm incredibly grateful for this amazing community we've built together through Backerkit and Pintopia. Thank you again for everything, you are all amazing <3

💖Jess :)

 

 

Hello everyone,

If you didn't get the chance to read the last update, this is Cat running the social media side of this campaign! At the end of the year Jess became ill after a few medical issues that came up. Luckily everything is going great now with that and we've been working hard together to finalize all the shipments to wrap up the campaign. We anticipated finishing everything by the holidays, but with the bad winter storms and us living about an hour away from each other, it delayed us getting together to finish everything all at once. Jess sends her apologies and hopes you all can understand the delay.

The great news is all orders are 100% packaged up and the last part we are working on is grabbing all the shipping labels to mail these out to you all ASAP 🙏🏼 You'll get an email soon within the next week with your unique tracking number. We want to send our thanks again for your continued patience and support, we couldn't have made it happen without you 💖 We hope you enjoy all the new pins coming your way soon!! 🙏🏼🐍💌✨

While myself, Jess, and the rest of our team have been working to pack up all the orders together, Jess has also been designing a new pin series for this year's Pintopia event called "Rebirth & Ruin"- a nature enamel pin series celebrating the delicate balance between life & death.

Early Bird slots provide the best pricing for the whole campaign and you can earn the most freebies during this period! Returning backers also get an extra freebie as a thank you for your support during this year's Pintopia <3

Back "Rebirth & Ruin" during the first 48 hours to receive these freebies below!

On top of that, if you followed the Muerte & Magic Pintober campaign that just happened, Jess finalized the artwork & already started the process of sampling the pins before the final bulk order is approved. Surveys will be sent out shortly for those who also backed this campaign. If you haven't seen the lastest pins made check it out!

These 3 Dia de Los Muertos pins and the new "Rebirth & Ruin" pins will be available for pre-orders starting this week for Pintopia 2025! Sampling will begin this week for the new Rebirth & Ruin pins, so we'll share the pin production process photos when the manufacturer sends them. Since sampling will begin as Pintopia starts, this means we aim to be a little bit ahead of schedule for this campaign :)

(If you see this email after 1pm, the link should take you straight to the campaign!)

Thank you everyone for reading this update and again for your patience! I'll be combing through the comments soon to address any questions you may had <3 

💖 Cat, Jess & the team
