Project Update: Update from Cat- Shipping is 90% complete! <3
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.
Pintopia 2025 launches this Thursday, January 23rd @1pm EST and Early Bird slots will disappear 48 hours later on January 25th @1pm EST.

🌿 Returning Backer Perks:
🌿 For Pintopia, Jess is teaming up again with Allison this year to bring you more freebies for backing both campaigns! 🌿
The Thornbearer collab pin was made to match Allison’s campaign featuring cracked statues AND the first enamel pin Orb of Renewal! The Thornbearer pin is not available in the add-on shop so be sure to back both campaigns!
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 :)
Sign up for notifications below to be notified ASAP when the newest Pintopia campaign officially starts later today at 1pm!! Early Bird slots will disappear 48 hours later on Sunday January 25th @1pm EST.

Its been over a month now since any updates. The last one said everything will be shipped before the holiday rush.... I've received no items or any shipping info. Please keep us updated more frequently. I understand the delay with health issues, but there's no excuse to have our hard earned money for this long to just ghost all the backers. Hope to hear back ASAP. Thanks.
Project Update: Update from Cat – Campaign Updates & Fulfillment Progress
This is Cat, writing on behalf of Jess at JBlakeDesign. I wanted to start by thanking you all for your incredible patience and support as we navigate some unexpected challenges. Jess has had a very difficult few months, as she needed emergency gallbladder surgery and experienced some complications afterward. This took a serious toll on both her physical and mental health, and she has been focusing on recovery ever since.
I’m excited to share that packaging is well underway! The team and I are committed to getting every order out as soon as possible, with the goal of completing fulfillment before the holiday rush comes around. Jess recently taught me how to handle the social media and communication side of the campaign, so we’ll be keeping you better updated moving forward.
We've been working hard grading all the pins, adding pins to their backing cards, and prepping all other accessories to be ready for shipment. If you didn't receive an email about it, shipping addresses have been locked with a final notice so please update your shipping address if needed before the end of the weekend. Packages will be mailed out ASAP and you'll receive a tracking number via email.
I'll be responding to comments/questions here and on social media that may have been missed while Jess has been in recovery. Thank you again everyone for your patience and support 💖🙏🏼
Hello! Is anyone else still missing pins? I haven't received my Femme Fatale pins yet, but I got the Femme Forecast pins.
