As you have probably noticed we are not likely to fund this Pintopia, and I have had to make peace with that. It was painful to accept but I unfortunately don't think it can happen this time. If you wanted to pledge to other things last minute that would probably be fine to do as I don't think you will be charged for this campaign (as it is not close to funding).
Me and my partner had discussed the possibility of launching both of our campaigns again together at a later date, since we are aware that there was a lot of other projects to juggle this year (this is none of the other creators' faults and I am very happy for those who funded!!). That being said, we both recognize that there would be a decent shot at funding if we did it outside of a large group.
I am also probably going to refrain from joining Pintopia or any group collabs as large as it again in the future, but I do plan to continue to make my own campaigns on here and KS as well as join smaller group collabs! So I hope to see some of you around for those, later! :)
Anyway, I wanted to run a poll to get an idea if people would like to see this campaign make a return, or if I should take it as a sign that it needs to rest. I appreciate your input and honesty a ton! ;w;
Thank you all a lot, everyone who backed this to try and bring it to life: you all mean a lot to me genuinely. Thank you
First I want to say I deeply appreciate everyone who is here backing this project; we are in a weird little spot still where it could turn either way in the end, but it is not lost on me that there are still over 50 people backing this project as of typing this and that really means a lot to me ❤️
In the meantime I was curious to ask how everyone felt about Pintopia this year! You can vote even if you aren't a backer!
We're a few bucks shy of being at the halfway mark! :D That's super exciting to me, thank you all so much! I hope we can keep this up all the way until the end!
And now, a popularity poll! Which one of these two would win in a cuteness contest?
Hi everyone!! It's been a great first day- we are already a third of the way there!
The first goal is steep but it unlocks a lot- both plushies, two pins (one being the cross-collab freebie) and technically the add-on buttons as well (since it's all or nothin'!)
After that there's only one more stretch goal, so the grand total is only $500 past the initial goal. With ~20 days left I feel like we can get there :)
Be sure to share this project with anyone you know might like it- thanks so much for the support!!
After today there will be only 3 more days until Pintopia 2026 starts and this campaign kicks off!!
If there is anyone you know who might like these little guys, throw them a link! :) Any sharing is deeply appreciated! <3
I also wanted to share some add-on buttons you can get during the campaign's run!
For $6 you can add on a 50mm (1.97") glitter button! These buttons have a light texture but aren't sand-papery! They glitter a lot and look super cute on a bag or in your button collection!
For $15 you can add on this pair of squishy plush buttons! Each button is larger at 75mm wide/tall (2.95") and has a plush, minky texture and squishy foam inside- perfect for squishing some precious beans or booping their noses!
Hope you like them! :) But of course, these are completely optional, so don't worry if they aren't your thing!
Very excited for this campaign- see you guys again soon!!
