My manufacturer has sent over the majority of the Costumed Cats pins already! They look phenomenal. Here's a picture I snapped outside on my fall mums in the afternoon light:
A couple of the designs are still in production (the blind bags and the two cat designs added on post-campaign) but I'll start shipping out orders this week and next week to the orders I have pins for. These pins came way earlier than expected which is great!
Pins for Victorian Villages are still in production - those pins had some more detail and there were A LOT of designs so my manufacturer is taking their time to make sure those are perfect before they are sent to me. We're still very much on track for the timeline on those, and I can't wait to see them in person.
Coming soon: Celestial Cottagecore
Some of the designs for our next campaign launching on 11/4 have been revealed! Make sure to follow Celestial Cottagecore's Launch Party so you'll be informed when this campaign kicks off. This campaign will feature designs with stained glass features like cloches, windows, lanterns and hourglasses. We'll be offering two variants: traditional forest/autumn vibes with gold metal and celestial with deep blues and purples and silver metal. We'll have mini pins, suncatcher stickers, and more in this campaign!
My factory is fast as heck lately and I have some cat pin pictures for you!
Factories take historically terrible pictures but all the cats are coming along super quick. Surveys close on 9/29 and 94% have you completed the surveys already which is fantastic! Thanks so much for being so prompt and helping me gauge all my numbers. If you haven't done the survey yet, please do so ASAP!
If you pledged for our previous campaign, Victorian Villages, all of those pins are also chugging along in production but I don't have any pictures of them yet. There are SO many designs from that campaign and they are really detailed so my factory is taking its time to get them all correct and beautiful. We're still very much on track for the timeline on those.
Next campaign launches on November 4th!
The Pin Kids Collective is back again, and my next campaign Celestial Cottagecore will be launching on 11/4 and running for 2 weeks. Please follow the Launch page and vote on what you would like to see for designs! Two of the designs are already featured on that page so you can get a feel for the vibe we're going for during this campaign. Definitely leave a comment if you have other kinds of designs you'd like to see as well.
Hope you all had a fantastic end to you summer as we transition into fall and spooky season. I'll have more updates for you soon!
Hello my feline enthusiasts! Smoke tests just went out for the Costumed Cats survey. If all goes well, full surveys go out tomorrow.
A few of you still have to fix your credit card, but don't fear! You still have time. Please fix cards as soon as you can though so we can get the correct numbers in for the pin designs and you won't miss out on your rewards.
There will be TWO new cat designs available in the survey as an add-on! We have...
Jack Skelling-cat
and Wizard Cat!
These kitties will both be 2" to match the size of the other cats in our campaign. Jack will feature silver metal and white glitter, and the Wizard will have gold metal and blue pearl swirl on the cape and hat.
Thank you again for all the support! Keep your eyes peeled tomorrow for the surveys. I will have surveys open for only about a week to get a quick turnaround time. So please fill out your survey by September 23rd to help me get the correct counts!
Thank you so much for our THIRD successful BackerKit campaign! Cats are very near and dear to my heart as someone who currently has three very needy rescue cats, so this certainly was a passion project for me.
I am currently working on the survey and hope to have it out to you all next week for a quick turnaround time. ALL of the designs were unlocked in the campaign, so you'll have your pick of the litter from the available cat designs! All of the designs will also be available as an add-on in the survey as well if your pledge didn't cover the amount of pin designs you'd like.
I'm going to close surveys about a week/week and a half after I send them out, so please once you receive the survey complete it ASAP! I want to get these cats into your hands quickly.
If your payment has failed for the campaign, no need to fret! You have time to update your credit card information so it can be processed. Please update is as soon as you can so you don't miss out on your pledge.
Next up...
We are returning in November as part of the Pin Kids Collective with our next campaign, Celestial Cottagecore. Join the Launch Party now and let us know what kinds of designs you'd like to see in the campaign on the poll that is on that page. We love comments and suggestions so the more votes and comments, the better!
That's all for now; I'm working hard on that survey so keep an eye on your inbox for it next week!
Wow a week has flown by! We're in the home stretch of our Costumed Cats campaign. EVERY DESIGN HAS BEEN UNLOCKED! So you can pick from our litter of cat designs in the survey!
Make sure to check out add-ons as well; we have our Cat Head Saying Blind Bags and tons of in-hand pin designs we've made. Lots of spooky season and cat pins, of course!
We're already almost done creating the post-campaign survey and aim to have it out just about a week after the campaign ends to really speed up this process. We already have all of the artwork for these pins ready to go with our manufacturer so we are extra prepared to get these pins made right away!
Thank you so much for supporting my third BackerKit and adopting these cat designs. Make sure to get your pledges in before 1pm ET/10am PT tomorrow when this campaign ends!
