Join SStwins Designs in our inagural holiday shop on Backerkit! We will have a large catalogue of inexpensive, ready to ship products available, perfect for presents (or maybe a little gift to yourself... we won't judge!).
Our names are Samantha and Sarah! Together, we run SStwins Designs! SStwins Designs is a small business with both an online and in-person presence in our local state of Colorado. We love making art that is inclusive and fun, with LGBT+ themes, bright colors, and lots of cute animals!
We're so excited to be participating our first Backerkit campaign! This one is a little different from normal, in that we'll be selling ready to ship products for the holiday season! There is no danger of items not being funded, and we'll have a wide variety of items available.
In January, we will also be running a campaign as part of Backerkit's Pintopia group! Sign up with your email address now for Veggie Cats: Enamel Pins Fresh from the Farm and get some bonus rewards when it launches as a thank you for your early interest!
We are super honored to be participating in Backerkit's inagural holiday market as our first campaign!
This campaign will work a little differently than other campaigns you may have participated in. There is no funding goal, and all items are currently in-hand! During the time of the market, you are free to shop around and continually add whatever add-ons you would like. When the market ends on December 1st, all items will be shipped out together!
Please note that items will not be shipped before December 1st. This means that you can cancel or update your pledge at any time! However, at that time, pledges will be final and surverys will be sent out for the items you have chosen. Items will be shipped as close to December 1st as possible, however, if there are a lot of orders, it may take us a few days. We will be shipping with USPS and while it is extremely likely that orders will arrive before Christmas, we cannot make any guarantees.
For this event, we will have several special deals available! These deals are normally only available at our in person events, and include discounts on our most popular products. The more you buy, the more you save! All deals are already set as part of our add-ons. We will also have some limited edition, $10 mystery bags available!
We will also be hosting a special raffle! Everyone who purchases anything receieves one ticket, and additional tickets can be gained for every $10 spent in merch. At the end of the campaign, three tickets will be pulled to recieve a free piece of original art featuring Santa Paws! This could be an artist trading card, an original button, a canvas, a framed piece of artwork, a magnet, or something else. It will be hand-drawn with love by Samantha, and photos of the raffle items will be posted in a community update for everyone to see by the time items are shipped!
The first 15 orders above $10 will also recieve a special gift! We made some lino prints of a Santa Paws design hand carved by Samantha! You will recieve a print with random colors.
We will have our full catalogue of mechandise available for this event!! Many of these items aren't listed on Etsy and have only been available at in person events, so this is a great opportunity to get some previously unreleased products!!
Items will be seperated into several different image catalogues, and organized by a grid system. This will help us to get you the perfect items when you fill out your surveys!
If you would like to purchase anything from the catalogue that has a listed quantity, please leave a comment on our community tab with the item number and item type to reserve it (ex. keychain 11) or send it to us as a DM here or @sstwins1 on Instagram. This will help us to make sure there won't be any overlap in desired purchases of limited quantity items! If you do not leave a comment, we cannot guarantee that you'll get the limited quantity items you want. At that point, it will be first come, first serve based on when surveys are returned to us. If all of the quantities of an item are reserved, it will be removed from the catalogue for the rest of the event.
We will only be shipping to North America for this campaign. Shipping costs will vary depending on purchased items. Unless you buy a significant amount of bulky items, they should fall somewhere in this range:
USA: $4-10 Canada: $15-30 Mexico: $15-30
If you only purchase stickers and would like to have your items shipped with a stamp, this will be a possibility for both USA and international packages! However, these will not have tracking and we will not be responsible if these items get lost in the mail.
Since everyone is pledging $1 to the default tier as part of this campaign, SStwins Designs will take $1 off your shipping total!
If you would like to order merch from a country outside of North America, please consider checking out our Etsy Page! We hate to have to restrict shipping for this event, but we also would hate for you to place an order here only for us to ultimately be unable to ship it! Etsy helps mitigate some of the shipping confusion and handles things like VAT taxes!
