First of all, thank you so much for all the love and support during Pintopia this year!! It always means the world to me to see everyone come together for our little Backerkit pin community 💖 Let's get into this exciting update~ ^_^
📝 Surveys finally released!! 🥳 🎉
I've been working hard in the background finishing the surveys this past month and making sure there were no errors before I sent them over to the Backerkit Team for review. After some back and forth last week, they were finally approved and the Smoke Tests came back all clear. So now ALL surveys are released!
If you can, fill out your survey ASAP! The sooner I can get the final counts from everyone, the sooner production can begin~ I'm hoping in the next 2 weeks, I’ll be able to submit everything to my manufacturer to start production ^_^ This is the fun part where we just sit patiently and wait for them to get made~ 💟⏳
Without further ado, here's the last stretch goal pin design Venom in Bloom!! This design features a venomous Snake Skeleton adorned with poisonous folliage including the tiny pink Oleander flowers & the larger multi-colored Hellebore flowers 💐 This pin is beautiful, but deadly 🖤
Venom in Bloom pins will be 2" tall, black nickel metal with screen-printed details.
If you didn't see the last updates, the other stretch goal pin that was unlocked was The Consumed Raven pinsin both a rainbow metal and a black nickel finish~ 🌈🖤 These will also be 2" wide.
🕷️ New Iron-on Patches in the Add-on Shop! 💚
I added these new 3" patches to the Survey Add-on Shop!! These are leftover patches from the Pinned & Preserved Campaign, so grab yours in the survey for only $12 each before I list the rest at a higher price in my Etsy Shop~
