I wanted to let you all know real quick that I've packed all but 3 orders from this campaign, and the rest should be going out within 1-2 weeks!
I also reached out to Backerkit recently because a few folks reported that they should have recieved one of the 3+ campaign backed freebies for A Pin of Pride. As it turns out, there was a bug on the backend that didn't add them for the incentives to your orders. I have a list of who this impacted and will be sending out the freebie pins soon!
Thank you all once again for all the support! If you're interested, there are still a couple days left to back my next campaign, Tails of Tokyo | Modern Day Kitsune Enamel Pins! This campaign is an original art campaign featuring Kitsune themed designs focused on various Japanese subcultures, including gyaru, decora, and lolita! This is also a part of the Pin Quest Group Collab, and yes there are freebies!Check it out HEREor by clicking the banner below!
Also, coming up in August, I'm launching Hero's Hoard: Timeless Mini Pins -- a Zelda/OOT themed set of mini pins featuring items from the game in my style! This is a part of the Pocket Change Group Collab! Check it out HEREor by clicking the banner below!
Then, for this year's Pintober, I'm launching Elemental Evolutions -- a series of enamel pins focusing on the Eeevelutions with their type symbols! These are 1.75in pins featuring gold plating and glitter, and an expansion on my very popular Sylveon design from a previous campaign, PokePostage. I'm so excited to get to draw all the Eevees! Check it out HEREor click the banner below!
And finally, for next year's Pintopia, I'm doing a sequel to this year's Pintopia campaign, 64 Bit Memories. That campaign was centered around N64 games, and I polled my backers there to see what they would like to see as a sequel. Gameboy + DS won, so Handheld Memories will officially launch in January 2027! Follow HEREto stay updated, or click the banner!

This will probably be the last update on the campaign, so from the bottom of my heart, much love everyone!
Hi hi! Just wanted to post a quick update letting you guys know that shipping is UNDERWAY! There are a couple items I'm still waiting to arrive (the sticker sheet + the Love is Love ball glitter stickers), but they should be here soon, fingers crossed!
For now, myself and my husband are packing the orders we have everything for this week, and the first 40ish have been sent out as of today. More will be going out later this week!
Thanks so much for all the support, and your patience while we get through fulfillment!
Last but not least... HAPPY PRIDE, EVERYONE! I hope everyone is having a great month so far!
Much love,
Katze
PS: Pre-Orders are still avaliable, so if you or someone you know still wants these pins, get em now at a discounted price before they go onto my Etsy! Snag em HERE!
Heya! Just a super short, quick update today. The pins will get to me tomorrow, and I'll be starting fulfillment as soon as I'm back from my convention this weekend.
Your orders addresses will auto-lock in 48 hours, so if you have moved or want to add any more add-ons, this is the time to do it!
I'm SO excited to say that the pins are all produced and ready to ship! This means it's the moment you've all been waiting for -- picture time!! Please note, these pictures are from my manufacturer, and they have some of my other pins (restocks lol) in the pics too, haha.
They turned out so well! I'm so happy with them. I need them in my hands STAT lol
I'll have them around the end of this month! That said, I do have this and an ita bag campaign with over 200 orders (sweats profusely) to fulfill this month + next as well.I'm going to have additional help for the ita bag campaign, so I'm hoping we can get things out ASAP! Since the pin orders from this campaign will take me less time to pack than the big orders with the ita bags, these are the priority. I hope to have everything packed and out the door by June 10th, but if anything comes up that prevents that, I will let you guys know. I want you guys to hopefully have them by the time you go to your pride fests so you can rock them!
With all that out of the way, I wanted to invite you all to check out some upcoming pin campaigns I am hosting here on Backerkit! Starting with...

That's all I have for y'all for now! I hope to see some familiar names in my future projects!
Just a quick update as a reminder that cards will be charging on Monday!
I've been unfortunately sick for the past week, so I was only now able to lock orders. (Nothing too serious! Just a cold, but the sinus pressure and everything else made me soooo sleepy...) There are only 3 surveys left unsubmitted -- if that's you, please do it soon!
I also wanted to share some fun stats while I've got y'all here! The most popular choices for pins in the survey are as follows:
And, the most popular sponsored design is... Disability! (32 total!) Once again, a HUGE thank you to everyone who sponsored a design! I'm so grateful to have been able to add more representation to this campaign!
From the most popular to the least, I'm so proud (ha) of what I was able to accomplish along with all of you. I hope to be able to see you all wearing your pins at events for years to come!
That's all from me!
Have a lovely weekend,
Katze
