Sending a notice out to let you all know that The smoke tests for surveys have gone out! I’m hoping to send out the surveys in full in a few days from now if the smokes go off cleanly!
I also wanted to remind everyone that we’ve got about 26 orders that still need to be remedied for error of some variety! If you can fix em up It will help me significantly as the quantities failed puts us on the edge of keeping tiers open or needing to close them off😰
Also I have been made aware of some Shipping price issues showing up on the end of pins? I apologize for that and know that it should be showing up at 8$ and bags should be between 18-25$ depending on your add ons!
Please please continue to reach out to me if you notice this not being accurate!
Also I’m going through pirate ship on these boxes and these are the rough quotes I’m being shown for the big bag boxes!
I’m excited to share a quick prototype preview of the cardholder that was just sent to me! Reminder that the bits put down with paper will be totally embroidered on the cardholder vs the embossing and embroidery line on the bags.
I am really happyI got a preview for these before we drop the surveys! It’s a nice way to show it off for those who may have been on the fence!
The campaign for this venture has surpassed so much of what I thought it would be! With your support this campaign raised nearly 22,000$! I’m overwhelmed and so grateful for all your support towards. This is the first time I’ve branched praise of pins and blankets! I really am thrilled with the turn out. You guys really made this whole event worth it!
Errored payments
The first attempt of backers cards getting charged has gone through, and as expected a few cards did error/fail. Not unexpected, but , If your card payment failed, you will have received an email about it, and do your best to correct this as soon as your able to, but please double check that your payment went through if you can . Being a little extra thoughtful and checking again is always appreciated!
If your payment failed, please make sure to update it so that your transaction can go through.
Reminder If you don't fix your payment, you will not receive any rewards.
We’re crazy busy in the background setting up surveys, SKUs and shipping fees are so being edited and triple checked while we’re waiting for the OK to formally send out the Survey.
If you don't submit your survey, you will NOT receive any rewards, even if your payment went through. Please make sure you send it in as soon as you get them! It helps me lock down information to send to the manufacturer quickly so we can jump into the full creation process!
Pay Over Time backers WILL NOT receive their survey until their pledge is paid in full. You will receive your survey within 48 hours after your final payment goes through.. though to keep from waiting too long and possibly delaying the ordering process, I’ll reach out to those of you who chose PoT through email, and I’ll collect information on what bags/extras you want and color.
I’d hate to have ordered them and then not have enough to cover your preferred pieces! So keep an eye out in about two weeks for an email from me!
If you missed out on the campaign the preorder shop is open!
If you backed the campaign, PLEASE DO NOT order anything through the pre-order store UNLESS YOU WANT TO PAY SHIPPING FOR EXTRA ORDERS !
I can’t stop you if you choose to do that, but you’ll be able to snag preorder items through surveys!
There are a couple bonus pin designs this time to unlock as extras, like two creatures from a galaxy far far away… and records and former stretch goals from older campaigns!
Thank you again!
Hopefully the next updates you get from me will be that of surveys and previews of progress on the pieces and accessories!
It’s crazy to think that the measurements half scaled make it look so much smaller than the full size, but it checks out in number!
Here’s the current prototype small bag! I’m in love with it!
The mini bag also shows off the changes we’re making to the larger bag, so the inner zipper, extra clips/strap that are here we’ll also be on the big one!
Here are the colors/patterns for solids and art insert options as of right now! These colors will be matched as closely as possible to fabric swatches, and will be available in both the full size and mini lantern .
Repeated pattern
Earlybird/add on
Faerie stars
Graveyard
Teal Gradients
The reverse side of each of these panels will be the color of the liner.
I am absolutely thrilled that we hit every goal!
I will try to whip up another one or two art type panels in the meantime!
