Project Update: 🎊 Project COMPLETE! 🎊

Hello Shroomie friends! I meant to send out this update much sooner, but the past number of weeks have been almost entirely consumed with packing and shipping out all of the pins. I'm thrilled to announce that (aside from the few unanswered surveys / unpaid balance pledges) EVERYONE'S order has been shipped out! It was such a tremendous joy seeing which combinations of Shroomies each of you ordered, and I hope they continuously bring lots of silliness and smiles to your pin collection 😁🙌


💛 Sticker Sheets


Those of you who ordered sticker sheets may have already seen them in person by now (or will very soon!), but since I haven't shown them off here yet, please enjoy this look at the finished sticker sheets! 


Despite their delays and hassles in production, I'm really happy with how the holographic sheets came out, and pleasantly surprised by how thick the vinyl is. I hope you guys enjoy these shiny Shroomie stickers too! They pair nicely with the Shroomie Sticker Book as well ;)


💙 Leftover Pins


If there are any pins or other items from this campaign you were eyeing but didn't quite get, never fear! All leftover stock from this project (including stickers, sticker books, etc.) will be going up on my ✦ Etsy Store ✦ soon. It's taking me some time to photograph everything and get listings up, but keep checking back! You can always follow my Etsy shop to get notified when new stock comes in too.

I'll also have a handful of seconds-grade Shroomie pins available at a steep discount that'll go up on the shop soon 👀 These beautifully imperfect pins with little flaws would love a new home too, so keep an eye out for those, and feel free to tell your mushroom-loving friends that some discounting Shroomies are coming!


🧡 What's Next?


You may have already seen the teaser page by now, but now the announcement is OFFICIAL: I'll be back for Pintopia 3 in January 2025! 🎉 I'm so excited to illustrate even more new Shroomies (thanks to all your votes and feedback in the reward surveys). Plus, it's very likely there will be at least one mushroom plushie in this upcoming campaign, since the votes and demand were nearly tied with more Shroomie pins! 

Sneak preview of some new Shroomie pins 👀


I would love your thoughts too as I consider potential mushroom plushie designs. What kind of Shroomie plush(es) would you like to see? I'm mostly curious about general plush size at the moment, so please use the poll below to voice your preference―and if you have any other ideas for mushroom plush design concepts, you can share them below in the comments :)👍

Once again, this project could not have happened without YOU! My utmost thanks and gratitude to every single one of you for choosing to back Shroomie Roomies and bring our fungi army to life 💪🍄 This has been the most fun campaign I've ever done by far, and I cannot wait to continue with more mushrooms in the next Pintopia. Until then, STAY SHROOMY, and I hope you all love the shiny new goodies!

Feel free to share your ideas for future Shroomie pin / plushie designs in the comments, as I'll be back in the art cave designing more over the coming months :)

All the best,

Project Update: 📦 The Rest of the Pins Are HERE! 📦

Woohoo!! All of the Shroomie Roomies enamel pins safely landed at my doorstep over the weekend, which means that pin production is officially complete! 🙌 Nearly every day my wonderful family and I have been working on counting, grading and carding all of the pins, and I'm happy to say we've made a pretty good dent so far—though there's definitely a ways to go still with over 3,000 total pins. 😅



Each day this week and next week, tracking numbers will start going out in batches, as I begin packing and shipping everyone's orders. So keep an eye on your email inbox for an automated message from me with your shipment information.
 
✨ In the meantime, enjoy these first-looks at the rest of the finished pins!
 




Unfortunately, I am still waiting on the sticker sheets to arrive, since they got delayed a few times during production. I've been told that the factory is reprinting about 50 errored sheets, and that once those are done, they'll all ship to me. This means that any orders that include sticker sheets will be on standby until I get them in-hand. Thankfully, that shouldn't be too much longer now though.


📝 Incomplete Reward Survey: 

Please follow this link and enter your email to have your reward survey re-sent to you: Shroomie Roomies - Reward Survey.


💳 Failed Payments on Cards: 

Please log into your BackerKit account and update your payment method in order to get your rewards shipped to you. 👉 How do I update my payment method? - BackerKit Help

🛍 Pre-Order Store (Open to All Who Haven't Backed Yet) 🛍



Thanks, and hope you all have a blessed week. The Shroomies will be in your hands soon now, WOO! 💪🍄

Project Update: 🍄 Pins Have Begun Arriving! 🍄

Great news, Shroomie gang! A little more than half of all the pins just arrived at my doorstep, at let me tell ya, our tiny mushie friends look GREAT in person!! I've had a lot of close communication with my manufacturer nearly every day for the past few weeks, as we work on making the colors for each individual pin the best they can be. 💪🍄 A couple of pins have taken a number of revisions to get right, while others came out even better than I imagined right off the bat. Regardless, know that all 28 Shroomie pins are getting loads of attention and care during the production process, and are all going through my careful color-checking before they leave the factory. Check out these fresh close-ups of all the pins that have been delivered to me thus far:



Get excited, because these lil Shroomies will be your new roomies in no time now! 😄
Once the backing cards come in, I'll start packing up orders and getting these fungi friends shipped out to you guys. I can't wait for everyone to see how delightful and wonderfully silly these pins are in-hand!



📦 Shipping Addresses Are Locking:


Attention: now's your last chance to make any updates / changes to your shipping address! In 48 hours from now, they will automatically lock, and you won't be able to edit your address yourself anymore. Please take the extra minute to update it now if a change in shipping location is necessary. If the address you entered at the time of the reward survey is still good to go, then no action is needed on your part :) Yay!
 

💳 Failed Payments on Cards:


Calling notice to 10 backers who currently have failed payments. It's absolutely necessary to correct these and make sure your payment goes through in order for me to be able to ship your rewards. This goes for the handful of people who still haven't completed their reward survey too. Think of all the orphaned lil Shroomies you'll leave unadopted if it doesn't get fixed ... 

 

🛠 In order to fix your payment method:

Option 1:
Log into BackerKit > click your profile icon in the top right corner > click the "settings" gear icon > scroll down and update your errored payment method.

Option 2:
Log into BackerKit > click your profile icon in the top right corner > click "Your Pledges & Surveys" > click "Your Surveys" > find the "Shroomie Roomies" project and click "Edit order or address" on the righthand side > scroll down and update your errored payment method. 
 

📃 And if you still need to fill out your Reward Survey...


Please follow this link and enter your email to have your reward survey re-sent to you: Shroomie Roomies - Reward Survey.



Thanks for reading! We're getting closer than ever now to deploying our fantastic fungi army. 💪🍄 I'll let you guys know when the rest of the pins ship to me. Until then, stay shroomy!

PROJECT UPDATE

Project Update: 📸 More Shroomie Pin Production Photos! 📸

Hey everyone! This will be another nice, short update: I bring you lots of new manufacturing pictures with this message! 🤩🙌 Please note: You may notice some off-looking colors on a number of these, but rest assured, I've already pointed them out to my factory rep, and they're revising and correcting all of the colors that I've called out. This will result in a bit of a delay, since it takes time for corrections to be made. But I've already made it clear that some of these screen print colors don't match the digital art / aren't visible, and that it's important for them to be corrected, rather than settle with some of these pins as-is.

Colors can be tricky to get right the first time, especially when there's so many different pin designs to make, so I expected this delay and knew it was a real possibility. But ultimately, I want all of you to get the best-looking pins possible and for all of us to be thrilled with our lil Shroomie friends! :) The factory should start shipping everything to me between the end of July and early August.

Now, without further ado ... please enjoy these work-in-progress and first draft pin pictures!!





💳 Payment Methods Charging Now:


Also, as a final heads up, your payment methods will be charged in the next 48 hrs or so. This will be the amount you paid for shipping, along with any add-on purchases. If you get any notifications about a failed charge, please update your payment method right away to ensure that your pledge rewards are locked in and able to ship to you!



Thank you, a million times over for your continued support! I hope all these pin previews got you just as excited as I am for all the incoming Shroomies :D I'd love to know which one(s) you're most excited for. And until the next update, stay wonderful Shroomie Gang, and have a fantastic rest of your week!
