Can't believe that it's almost Christmas! Happy holidays everyone! I wonder if the kitties of Whisperwood celebrate this holiday? Who knows...
It's been a bit over a month since our last update, and it's time for another one. First thing first, most of the backer's surveys have been completed already, orders have been locked, and production have started. However, there are still a few surveys that haven't been completed yet. If you haven't completed your survey yet, please take the time to complete them as soon as you can. Your response will be highly appreciated!
For now, everything (backing cards, stickers, sticker sheet) is done, except for the pins. Pins always take the longest to complete, and this time I did choose to use a manufacturer that has a longer production time (and hopefully better quality control). Most likely the pins will be completed before the Chinese New Year (end of January), as most pin manufacturers prefer to do that based on my past experience. Below are some pictures of the backing cards, stickers, and sticker sheet that I received from my manufacturers. I really like the quality of the stickers, especially the sticker sheet!
Hey! Did you notice something you haven't seen before?! Yes! I created a new freebie thank you sticker for all of you who pledged for a physical tier from my project! I meant to add more mini pin designs, and a freebie of some sort during the campaign, as this project did so so so so well (it is actually the best project I have done so far)! However, at the time of the campaign, I was pre-occupied with some family emergency that I was not able to create more designs as I wanted to. But I made a promise to myself that I will make the freebie no matter what. I hope that you like the freebie sticker we got!
Finally, I got a new project that will be launched in Jan 23rd as a part of Pintopia 2025! The project is called Build Your RPG Cat (click here for the link). For the first time, I will be making magnetic pins (the gears) and they can be attached onto the cat of your choice! Follow my project if you are interested in this project! Thanks!
Thank you so much for filling out your survey! As of now, we have 90% of the surveys completed, and this means I now have a pretty good idea of how many items I need to order from my manufacturer~ Please be reminded that orders will be locked tomorrow morning (a reminder email should've been sent out yesterday to everyone who have completed the survey). Please double check your pledges and add-ons if you haven't got a chance to do.
For those of you who haven't completed your survey yet, please kindly have it filled out as soon as you can so that we have a record of what you would like to get for your rewards. Also, please note that tomorrow I will be removing most of my in stock add-on items that are currently available in the pledge manager, but everything from this campaign will still be there. Finally, I will also be closing the pre-order shop tomorrow. If you are interested in this project, and having got an opportunity to pledge yet, this is your last chance to grab these cuties at the backerkit special price!
I also want to take this opportunity to let you know that we need to make a minor change to the Blue Moon pin after talking to my manufacturer. First of all, the parts that connect the tree to the lantern need to be bigger. You can compare the new design to the old design to see the difference. It is a manufacturing requirement in order to make this design work. Secondly, after enlarging those connecting parts, I noticed that if I kept the height of the pin at 1.8", it is very likely that the lantern will be touching the ground where the ghost is now sitting. To avoid this issue, I have slightly increased the height of the tree by 0.1" and that should avoid the problem. Therefore, in the new design, our final height is 1.9". The width will stays the same as 1.2". One last thing I want to clarify is that on the campaign page, I said that the width of this pin is 1.3", but that was actually a typo. The correct width is 1.2". Sorry for the confusion. For Blue Moon sticker, I am going to keep the original look as there is no reason why I have to increase those connecting parts for the sticker.
Please let me know if you have questions or concerns. Thanks again for supporting my project!
Thanks again for your interest in my backerkit campaign - Kitties Of Whisperwood! I just want to let you know that I just sent out all the backer's survey. Please have them filled out as soon as you get a chance to. Our goal is to get at least 90% of all the surveys completed in two weeks (by Nov 21st). Having said that, the faster we reach our goal, the earlier I can place an order with my manufacturer, hence the earlier we can get the rewards!
If you didn't receive or you lost your email for your survey, you can also access your survey in the link below:
Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions. The best way to reach out to me is via my email ([email protected]) or a DM via Instagram. Otherwise, you can leave me a comment below this update, but please be reminded that I don't get notification for any comments left here until 24 hours later, so it might take me some time to get back to you. Thank you so much for your understanding.
For those of you who missed the campaign, I just opened my Pre-Order Store, and this will be your last chance to get these pins/stickers at the backerkit exclusive price! I also included a lot of my Etsy shop items there at a discounted price as well! If your order does not include any pre-order items (items from this backerkit campaign -Kitties of Whisperwood), I will have your order shipped out before the end of November! This will be perfect if you are looking to stock up on some Christmas gifts! The Pre-Order shop will be opened from Nov 7 - Nov 21st. Here is the link to the pre-order shop:
Finally, are you ready for my next project?? It will be a Pintopia project launching in January 2025!!! Click here for the link to the teaser page. Please follow it to get notification when the project is launched. I don't have a lot of content to show you right now, but I promise, there will be more information coming soon!
I just sent out the smoke test for the survey to 5% of all the backers (exactly 9 backers). If you are lucky enough to get the survey today, please kindly help fill it out as soon as you can. Your prompt reply is extremely important, as that will help me determine if I made any mistakes with the survey. Not to mention that filling out the survey early gives you the advantage of getting any add-ons you want before anyone else, as some of the add-on items are limited in quantity! If you have encounter any issues with the survey, the best thing is to reach out to me via my email at [email protected] or DM me on Instagram (@walnutandclam). Otherwise, you can also leave a comment here. However, please note that I don't notification for any comments left here on BACKERKIT until a day later, so I may not be able to respond right the way. Thank you so much for your attention. I will send out another update once I sent out all the backer's survey~
Thank you so much for another very successful campaign!! The Kitties of Whisperwood is fully, successfully funded, and thanks to all your love and support, I just keep breaking my personal records for my projects!! This project has raised the highest amount I have ever gotten for a single project! And I know this would not be possible without your support. Thank you so much for being a part of my art journey!
Now that the campaign is over, your credit card will be (or have already been) charged for your rewards. If there is an error with your pledge, it is very important that you update your credit card information with backerkit as soon as you can. Thanks so much in advance!
I am almost done setting up the backer's survey, and I am going to try to send out a smoke test (meaning only 10% of the backers will get the survey) by the end of next week. If everything goes well, I will send out the rest of the surveys by Nov. 8th. Please be reminded that your shipping fee will be charged separately at a later date along with any extra add-ons you get in the pledge manager. Please let me know if you have any questions! I will keep you updated if anything comes up. Thanks again for your support!
