Hello! The Pudding Party Collection campaign has successfully ended! Thank you so much to everyone who pledged, we were able to unlock a handful of things during the campaign including the Pudding Bag, 4th enamel pin, and 2 new colorways: Pink & Mint!
Backerkit has started processing payments and will continue to do so for the next week, please make sure to check if your pledge's payment processes successfully. Pledges that are not updated with unfortunately be considered abandoned and then cancelled.
Surveys have now been sent! Please fill it out, it will help me get an idea of how much inventory to order for each colorway and design. Backers who chose Pay Over Time during the campaign, you will not receive the survey until after your payment plan is completed. Once your installments are completed, Backerkit will automatically send the survey to you!
If you missed the crowdfund but are still interested in the products of this campaign, I've opened the Pre-Order Shop! Everything that was unlocked during the campaign is available to Pre-Order until June where all additional inventory counts should be locked by that point.
if you have any issues with your survey or any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out! Thank you!
hello everyone! with our campaign launching in just four days, I wanted to share some extra photos and info with you guys!
as a reminder, we're part of the fur & food pintopia collaboration - if you back our project and two others, you'll get a free sticker from each of the projects you backed!
you'll also be able to purchase a cottagecore critters enamel pin (from our last campaign) as an addon! returning backers will get an extra mini pin of their choice added to their orders at no cost.
Tuesday is finally here, and that means only one thing – THE PINS HAVE ARRIVED!
In the following 2 weeks, I wanna go through all of them, grade them and start shipping them to you! 🩷🌸
And two last things – with the pins being here, the pre-order store is still open, until the end of this week! So if you missed out on the campaign, it's a perfect time to still get one (or two!) of the pins! The other thing – there are still several unfilled surveys and unpaid pledges. I contacted several of you to offer an alternative option of payment, in-case your bank blocked this campaign. Please, check your inbox for the survey, or for the email from me. After I'm done sending all the rewards (including POT backers), I will be closing this campaign and you won't be able to pay nor fill-in the survey.
Just popping in for a quick update on pin progress, sticker production, and packaging design-
Before we start, just a quick reminder that there are still a few of you who haven't filled out your surveys or who's payments have errored, so please double check your surveys to make sure they're 100% filled out and that your card was processed. Thank you! Onto the Good Stuff- The Pins:
Most them are nearing the final stages of production! Several designs have already been approved for full production, and I'm just waiting on the Macron Beetles and a couple others to get their screenprinted details ready for approval, but I do have some photos to share of the finished ones:
I also have some pics of the ones still waiting for the final details, but proceed with caution as some of these are quite naked lol
It'll still be a couple more weeks before these are done and in my hands, but I do still hope to get them done and shipped as soon as I can! I already plan on having a few friends over to help quality check and sort everything once they do arrive, and while it may be slightly later than originally planned, I will still try to get these shipped by the end of May :)
Next- Stickers and Backing Cards:
I'll be placing orders for the stickers and sticker sheets soon! These take far less time to make than the pins, so I usually like to wait a little bit before ordering them so everything arrives around the same time. I'll also be placing the order for the backing cards soon, so those should also get here around the same time as the pins and stickers. As far as the design for them goes, I originally wanted to do a pastry box inspired design, but I had the idea to do a cute cafe chalk board menu and I love the new direction :) Mock-ups of this in the next update!
More photos coming soon! Thanks for reading and have a wonderful weekend~
How have you been? I hope you've been absolutely great! I'm here after some time with a new update:
What's completed? This week, I've completed all the stickers and stickersheets for the campaign! I also have a little sneak peek – a (oopsie) stickersheet🤭 I've also picked up all the socks today! And yup, you've read that right – I actually work with a manufacturer here in my city, so they are made in the Czech Republic! But I bet you already wanna see them 👀
Excuse me for taking the pictures on such a messy desk, I am in the middle of a con preparations and... It's always wild during that time 😂
While Sakura and Forest Fox socks have been pretty straightforward and done quickly, we had some problems with Boba tea regarding the colours. I do wanna say I managed to get is as close as possible, considering how little brown the manufacturer offers.
What's left? I'm currently waiting on the plush keychains and enamel pins! All the enamel pins should arrive next Monday/Tuesday – when that happens, I will be here with another update regarding that, finally showcasing some photos! I already saw two of them in a video, and honestly? I can't wait to have them 🤭
And last but not least – to everyone who completed the survey – your credit cards will be charged soon after this update! Please keep that in mind 🌸
I know it is out of your control, but goodness shipping cost is brutal for just a couple of pins!
Still excited for my cuteness to arrive, but shipping costs are definitely getting out of hand pretty much everywhere.
I recently received the photos of the Wolf, Bat, and Fawn's first samples awhile ago so I wanted to share them here, as well as the edits I sent my manufacturer for the second samples!! Here are the first samples:
I also ordered a new Fawn sample because I wanted to make a couple tweaks to it!! And I'm planning on ordering a new Raccoon sample. I really love how the Wolf's face came out, the eyes are big n' cute, so I'd really love all of the bags to reflect this!!
⭐ Here are the edits I had for all of the bags (except for the Frog):
As you can see the Wolf, Bat, and Calico Cat need a bit of help, especially the Bat lol 😅 But I'm very excited to see the next batch of samples!! 💖💖 I hope you all are just as excited!!
🧋 Also!!The Preorder Shop will be closing April 10th @ midnight EST!! That is in about 3 days! Anyone who wanted to grab a bag but didn't manage to support the campaign can still get one via the Preorder Shop!!
⭐ Preorder Shop 👉 Preorder Boba Buddy Series 2 - cute plush animal bubble tea bags on BackerKit The Rainbow Tiger Boba Buddy bag has been UNLOCKED and is now available to everyone to order via the Preorder Shop!! If you're a Backer of the campaign you can also add the Rainbow Tiger bag to your pledge with your Survey!!
⭐ Surveys will be locking April 10th as well and you will not be able to make any additional changes (add on items, etc.) to your Survey afterwards!! However you will still be able to update your shipping address if need be!! 💖💖
👉 Backers who opted for Pay Over Time have not received their Surveys and will not until their final payment has been sent (should be in May)!! Of course because of this your Surveys will be locking at a later date, not on the 10th!!
👉 Ideally Backers should have their Surveys completed by the 10th!! However I will still wait for any missing Surveys until I am ready to ship out Orders! If your Survey is not completed by then your pledge will be considered a donation and you will not receive a refund. It is YOUR responsibility to check up on Updates, Surveys, and additional information after the campaign is over. Thank you for understanding!!
Thank you so much for your support!! I really appreciate ya'lls patience and understanding while waiting for sample photos!! :3 I will keep ya'll posted when I receive more updates from my manufacturer!!
Hey everyone, thank you all for your support. We've now sent out all our designs to manufacturers, and hopefully once they finish we can get everyone's orders out! Sorry for the delays.
Starting today you'll be able to choose which pins and add-ons you want, through the surveys that will be sent out, you'll also be able to choose any extra add-ons or extra pins that you might want. The smoke test surveys were sent out yesterday night, which means some of you have already received the surveys to help me out and test it for any bugs or errors, once this phase is complete, everyone else will receive their surveys to fill out!! 🥰
Pledge Payment Processing
Your pledges have already been processed by BackerKit! At this time there are still 14 failed charges in total, if your pledge is among these, I ask you to please solve this issue as soon as possible, thank you!
Shipping
Shipping costs will be charged during the survey phase.
Regarding International Shipping, standard shipping is no longer possible, the national post office services changed their rules and I'm now only able to send international packages as Blue Mail, this is a cheaper and faster option to tracked mail, that still allows you to track your package, I'm sorry for any inconvenience, but unfortunately this type of events are out of my control and all I can do is ask for your understanding, thank you!
Regarding USA Shipping, if you pledged both Cherry Pop and Water Pals projects, you'll only pay shipping once (you'll be charged during my survey phase) and your rewards from both projects will be sent together, to help minimize your shipping costs!
Pre-Order Shop
If you haven't pledged for the campaign, but would still like to grab something, you can do it through our Pre-Order Store!! The Pre-Order Store will be open for 1 week and your orders will be shipped at the same time as the backer rewards in July! 🥰
If you have any questions feel free to leave them in the comments and I'll answer as soon as possible, thank you!
