I’m so excited to share that all orders that were marked "ready to ship" for Rebirth & Ruin have officially been mailed out to their forever homes! 🥳 Thank you so much for your patience and support throughout this campaign. I'm so excited to finally get these beautiful nature enamel pins into your hands!! :)
That being said, we still have 5 surveys that haven’t been filled out yet, and 7 orders with declined cards. I’ve been manually resending surveys every few weeks, but this will be the last month I'll be doing this! If surveys are not completed by the end of the month, I will unfortunately have to cancel those pledges and treat them as donations since I can’t fulfill the orders without your info.
^TLDR; Please fill out your surveys/correct declined cards if you still want your pins!! :<
🐞 New insect pin campaign launches this Monday August 11th, @3pm ‼️
I’m excited to announce my newest project: Pinned & Preserved: a collection of large realistic insect enamel pins inspired by Insect Taxidermy, or "Insect Pinning." This campaign is part of the 🧬 Super League of Science Collaboration running all month long!
➡️ Freebie for returning backers:
-Rainbow iridescent Bottle Fly vinyl sticker~
➡️ Early Bird Perks in the first 48 hours:

This mini pin will be 1" dyed red metal, adorable as a filler pin for your collection :) <3

See you all soon in the next update when the pins arrive!
👉🏼 Just a quick heads-up! Surveys will officially lock down in less than 48 hours this Sunday morning (April 27, 2025)
🔒 What does locking the survey down mean?
After surveys lock in 2 days, you won’t be able to make any extra changes/additions to your order. I've added a few extra pins and sticker packs to the Add-on Shop, so feel free to browse!
➡️ Not only is it the last chance to grab pins at the same campaign pricing, but any extra funds raised will help offset any extra costs/potential tariff fees that might pop up during the shipping phase! Any extra support is very much appreciated during this time 🙏🏼💖

💖 Thank you so much everyone for your support during Pintopia!! 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 below with your friends, family & social media, I would greatly appreciate the shares! :)
Hey there! I have a few announcements so let's get into it~
📈 Tariff news
With the Tariff news happening over the past few weeks, a lot of us small artists have been worried about the proposed Tariff fees on our pin orders (145% tariff fees as of yesterday). I'm working with my pin manufacturer on a solution to make sure costs don't rise a significant amount on my end when the new pins ship to me. Any increased costs during shipping I will make sure it is not passed onto you!!
With the pins already in production, I'm bringing some extra additions to the Add-on Shop before I lock surveys down!
With that being said-
🛍 Why browse the add-on shop again?
There's a few new items I forgot to add to the shop like XL pins, discounted pin bundle sets, and leftover vinyl stickers. Any additional pre-orders placed on the extra pins I've already put into production will help offset any extra costs/potential tariff fees that might come up during the shipping phase!So any extra support is very much appreciated during this time 🙏🏼💖
There's also a new Tariff Tip Jar if you just want to show some love/support 🤲🏻💖✨ Anyone who adds to the Tariff Tip Jar will get an extra random sticker from my sticker inventory added to their order~ If you want a specific sticker just leave a comment on this update and I'll make a note :)

Just a quick update, I realized I forgot to add my Reusable Sticker Book designs to the Add-on Shop! I'll be restocking these this month for my campaigns and convention table. So if you want to reserve one of your own, now is the time ^_^ Each sticker book has 50 reusable pages, and I'll have 4 designs to choose from~
Reusable Sticker Books:
Pokemon- Legendary Birds Trio
Mario Starry Night Art Level
Jackalope- Error 404 Not Found
Shibari Succubus- Tattooed Demon
Sticker book decoration example! (*Stickers not included with book*)
Backers can reserve a copy through the Add-on Shop for only $20~ (Each reusable sticker book goes for $25 at my convention table, and $30 online through my Etsy Shop). If you're a sticker hoarder like me this is a fun little add-on ^_^
Persephone Leftover Collab Pins:
➡️ If you missed the last update, I added the last leftover Persephone Goddess Spring pins from the Femme Fatale campaign!
**Since these were a Femme Fatale campaign-exclusive item, these won't be restocked again! 🌹🌸 The last way to grab these limited-edition pins is through the Add-on Shop!
Tan/ Gunmetal Persephone
White/ Gold Persephone
Persephone's story:
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 made her theGoddess of Death and the Queen of the Underworld. She's the perfect Femme Fatale and the reason why I chose her as the special Femme Fatale collab pin 🙏🏼🌹💞
➡️ Remember, these won't be restocked again since they were collab pin prizes! I'd rather list the last batch here on Backerkit than on Etsy where the shop fees are much higher.
