Either way, I cannot thank you all enough for your support of this campaign. You once again blew me away and I cannot wait to see all of these designs come to life. I am attaching a poll for some potential add-ons in the survey; I'll have a couple designs that didn't make the campaign that I'll add on to the survey to see if we can have enough backers to make those come to life as well!

Please follow along with Sunset Road here on BackerKit and on Instagram and TikTok @sunsetroadco for updates. I also sell pins, stickers, claw clips and other accessories outside of BackerKit as well!

Let's make this last campaign day great!

XO,
Nikki

Hello my friends! Thank you SO MUCH for such a successful second BackerKit campaign. This was a project I had in my brain for a long time and I'm so happy we can make it come to fruition. I'm currently working on the surveys and hope to have those out in 2 weeks. We unlocked so many designs so the survey will take me some time to configure!

Charges have already begun processing for the campaign. If your payment fails at first, no worries! You have time to go in and change your card information or update it. Reminder that if don't pay for your pledge, add-ons, or shipping costs, you will not receive your rewards, including the collaboration pins and freebies.

AUGUST 3 - Surveys go out
AUGUST 18 - Surveys close
AUGUST 18 - Completed surveys charged for add-ons and shipping
AUGUST 31 - All items ordered
OCTOBER - All items (hopefully) received
NOVEMBER 15 - Remaining surveys charged for add-ons and shipping
NOV/DECEMBER - Orders packaged and shipping begins
FEBRUARY 28, 2026 - Project fully closed and rewards are no longer provided

I created a few more designs that I will put into the add-ons on the survey to see if we can get those made! I will also add the two designs we didn't unlock during the initial campaign: the Rosy Maple Moth and Mexican Bluewing Butterfly. I also will add two creatures you voted for to see in Victorian or Gingerbread: the penguin and the fox. I think you'll really like the new designs I came up with and hopefully we can pledge for enough of them to get them made!

If you pledged to both Victorian Villages and my partner project Make The Yuletide Gay! you'll receive free pins from both of us. If you pledged for all 6 campaigns in the Pin Kids Collective, you'll receive a free jumbo pin. From me personally, freebies include an early backer sticker, a returning backer sticker, a mailing list subscriber sticker, and a free sticker for ALL backers that we unlocked when we hit $7,500 raised. That's a lot of freebies! In order to receive them all, remember you must have successfully pledged and paid for my campaign and the other campaigns.

I've attached a poll to see what you may be interested in for our next campaign! I have plans to do all of these campaign topics at some point, but I'd LOVE to get your guidance on what you'd like to see from me. If you have any other suggestions, please leave comments as well! I love to hear feedback and really value it from those who are supporting my art.

Please take a moment to follow me on Instagram where I post updates, stories, and other items I make that weren't in the campaign. I post a lot of pictures of my three cats, too, which is the real draw to following along!

Again, I can't thank you enough for all of your support. The BackerKit community is absolutely lovely and welcoming, and I'm very excited to get the ball rolling on putting this campaign into production and getting you your Villages!

XOXO,
Nikki

Our next stretch goal reveal after the Theatre is what YOU voted for in the poll on which butterfly or moth you'd like to see me create next. The winners were...

I'm so excited for these new designs! I would love to see these come to life. There are still 13 days left in the campaign so plenty of time to reach these goals. If we reach this stretch goal, I will have a VERY special stretch goal after this that all backers of the campaign would benefit from.

Thank you once again for all of the love you've shown Victorian Villages on our second campaign!

Hi friends,

Thank you once again for all the support for this campaign! I used your answers on the poll to see what building is going to be (hopefully) added to the village next, and the winner was...

As a big theater nerd, I love that this was the winner and I loved designing it! I am hoping we reach the unlock goal for this one so it can come to fruition.

We are super close to unlocking our next stretch goal, which is...

If the campaign keeps growing I am excited to add more stretch goals. Make sure to vote in the poll to see which butterfly or moth could possibly be added next!

XO,

Wow! I am blown away. Thank you all SO MUCH for your support. We just unlocked a free 3" Luna Moth glossy sticker for every single backer in the campaign! You don't have to do anything to add this reward, you'll automatically receive it in your package when shipping starts.

This is my last shown stretch goal for this campaign, but I do have more designs waiting in the wings if we eclipse it. And a very special reward if we hit over $10k!

Again, I can't thank you enough for your support. The Early Bird Reward is still available until 1pm Eastern Time tomorrow so make sure you share it with others to pledge to get that free sticker!

XO,
Nikki
