Hey everyone!

I've been working on the survey, and expect to have it out sometime in the next week or so. The survey is where you'll pick your rewards, select any additional add-ons, and pay the shipping fees. I can't wait to see what you all pick!

A few of you will be sent the, "smoke test," before the rest of the backers. This is so I can fix any issues that you may find in the survey.

Failed pledges:
Please update your payment method if your pledge failed! There are still a handful of pledges that haven't been processed. I won't be able to ship your rewards if your payment isn't collected.

Other than that, I've already ordered more backing cards for the pins. I need to finalize my order with my manufacturer so we can start production. So far, we're exactly where we should be with this process!

Stay tuned for more updates.

Best,
Traci

Hey, everyone!

Now that the dust has settled, I wanted to give you all an update. We ended the project with $1,902 in funding! All of the designs were unlocked. Thank you all so much for your pledges, sharing the project with friends, and support! I appreciate you all so much. <3

Right now, I'm waiting for all the payments to clear. There are still a few payments that failed. If that's you, update your payment method as soon as possible!

I'm building the survey which will be sent out after all the initial payments have been processed. This survey is where you will select your rewards, add-ons, and pay for shipping. Shipping was not charged during the campaign so we could keep reward and shipping funds separate, and so it will be more accurate with any add-ons you select. It's essential you complete your surveys in order for you to get your rewards.

Once I receive all the funds, I will submit the pin order and production will begin!

That's the long story short! Thanks again for your support. <3 Stay tuned for more updates. Have a great weekend!

Hey everyone!

We have ONE DAY LEFT to unlock the I BELIEVE pin! As I write this, we're at $1,676/1,700 to get it unlocked. I believe we can get it unlocked!

Before the project ends, I wanted to send out a few final reminders:

Spread the word! Help us get that last design unlocked before pledges close. You can share my recent Creatures posts from Instagram and Facebook. This is the final push!

Thanks so much everyone,
Traci

Hey creepy cuties!

We're down to the last few days of the campaign. We've gotten so many designs unlocked! As I write this, we're at $1,600/1,700 to unlock the I BELIEVE pin. With your help, I think we can get it unlocked. If you don't already, follow me on Instagram and share some of my posts with your friends!

I've been looking through some of the polls and updates I have sent out and just wanted to share what I learned from the results:

I'm also really excited about the add-ons I put up! We have the bumper stickers, extra buttons, AND I made some mini pins and lanyards available as add-ons. The lanyards and mini pins were originally from the Mystical Kickstarter campaign, but they seemed so fitting with this campaign! Any that are selected as add-ons will help fund them being restocked.

Thanks for putting up with all these updates! Let's get the I BELIEVE pin funded!

Have a nice weekend everyone,

 All of our original designs have been unlocked! YAY!

Up next, the I BELIEVE pin! The green version won the poll, and it unlocks at $1,700.

I also put up some new add-on options.

The Mini Star and Mini Bat pins are now available as add-ons! They were originally from my last crowdfunding project, the Mystical Kickstarter. They will be restocked with the help of the Creatures campaign! The Mini Bat pins have black nickel plating, and the Mini Star pins have gold plating and glow in the dark! If we get the I BELIEVE design unlocked, I may add a Mini Star silver plating option as a new stretch goal (if the demand is there.)

Out of curiosity, I attached a poll to see which your favorite Creature is! I'm just trying to get a sense of which designs are your favorites.

We're in the last stretch of the project! Let's keep unlocking whatever else we can. Please KEEP SHARING the project with your spooky-loving friends!

Thanks for the support everyone!

Hey, everyone!

What a great first week for this project. We have unlocked the initial goal AND the first stretch goal! That means so far, you will be able to pledge for the:

We're SUPER close to unlocking the Cactus Cat Pin! As I write this, we're at $1,464/1,500 to get it unlocked. I really wanted to include this one since it's such a cool, lesser known cryptid. Here are some fun facts about the Cactus Cat Cryptid:

All of the pins will have glow in the dark effects! Some will also include screen printing (Jackalope), pearlescent fill (UFO), and maybe even polarizing effects (Ghost Cat)! I am working with my factory to make samples ahead of time to make sure the effects will turn out their best. (I wasn't able to upload the video, so a grainy GIF will have to do! See a better quality video of the glow in the dark here on the campaign page.)

REMINDER: If you are in the UK/EU, you are able to pledge HERE through Etsy. Etsy makes it way easier for me to properly charge fees for EU/UK pledges, that way I don't accidentally charge you incorrectly!

Typically, the first 2 days of crowdfunding bring in the most pledges. That means we're in the slow part! Keep sharing the project with your friends and family who would be interested! That, and feel free to adjust your pledges to include additional designs if you want more, or pledge for some add-ons.

We're so close to the next stretch goal, I'm going to start working on some more! Keep an eye out on the next few updates since I'll be sending out more polls for you to vote in. Thank you!!

We are SO CLOSE to unlocking the Cactus Cat! We've actually reached $1,500 a few times, but it's been fluctuating back and forth. We still have 11 days left to get as much as we can unlocked!

We've unlocked the other goals so quickly, I decided to add more stretch goals. The "I BELIEVE" design below will have glow in the dark text. If you want this design unlocked, you are welcome to adjust your pledge levels to include it!

Which colorway is your favorite? Go vote in the poll! If one is way more popular than the other, I'll likely only have that one produced. If they're pretty close in votes, I might just make them BOTH stretch goals. Now is your chance to decide!

DON'T forget when you also pledge to the Cat Chaos campaign, you get these 2 free collab pins. This is the ONLY way to get these pins!

Thanks for your support everyone! I can't wait to see how much we can create together.

We’re 78% funded as I write this, WOOO! Don’t forget to pledge for ALL the pin designs you want. This helps us unlock all the designs faster!

I cut out some paper examples to show them off a bit better! I wish I could also replicate their glow in the dark features. 😂

PLEASE, go vote in the poll to pick which pin unlocks next. The poll closes tomorrow, so vote ASAP!

3 initial goal pins:
1. UFO
2. Mothman
3. BACKERS GET TO VOTE!

We hit $1,100 last night! Thank you to you all for bringing these pins to life. We still have a few weeks to get more designs unlocked. If we get all the designs unlocked, I may have to work on adding new ones.

The fastest way to get more designs unlocked is to pledge for ALL the designs you want now!

Please continue to spread the word about the Creatures campaign. <3
