All pins have arrived! I have spent the last two weeks individually checking the glow and UV features on every single piece to ensure you receive the highest possible quality. Packaging is officially underway, and I anticipate having all orders shipped out over the next 3 weeks.
SO MUCH GLITTER 🥰 No filter, they really are this vibrant!
Shipping & Fulfillment Details USPS postal rates have increased since the campaign originally launched, meaning some shipping costs will be coming out of pocket. While this adds a slight bump in the fulfillment process, we are still well ahead of our original schedule to have all orders delivered long before the November deadline! If you see any pins that you missed out on, they are also now available on my site here
Action Required: Missing Backer Surveys There are currently 3 backers who have not completed their reward surveys. Reminder emails have been sent out several times. Without your shipping address, your rewards cannot be shipped. Please complete your survey as soon as possible—once all current orders are shipped, this campaign will be officially closed, and outstanding rewards cannot be fulfilled.
Thank you all so much for your incredible patience and support for this beautiful pride project! I am so thrilled for you to see these in hand and love them just as much as I do!
All of the Cursed Kisses: Pride Edition enamel pins are officially complete! They are scheduled to ship out from the manufacturer and arrive at my studio by the beginning of next week.
Early Next Week: Pins arrive at the studio.
Mid August: Quality control begins! Each pin will be inspected to make sure you get the absolute best quality.
End of August- Early September: Shipping to you officially begins!
Thank you all so much for your patience, enthusiasm, and incredible support throughout this campaign. The wait is almost over!
I have some incredibly exciting news to kick off your Wednesday: the raw metal pins are beginning to emerge from production, and they look absolutely stunning! Seeing these designs transition from digital art into physical metal is always magical!
Here are a few quick but important housekeeping updates as we move into the next phase of the project:
Action Required: Outstanding Surveys
We still have a small handful of backers who haven't completed their surveys.
I have resent all outstanding surveys this morning.
Please check your inbox (and spam folder!) and fill yours out as soon as possible so I know exactly where to ship your goodies and which designs you want!
Card Charges: Friday, July 17th
To keep everything moving smoothly, charges for add-ons and shipping will process this Friday, July 17th.
Why now? Timing the charges for this Friday ensures that the funds are cleared and released to me right as the finished pins arrive at my studio. This allows me to dive straight into quality control checks without any delays!
Sticker-Only Orders
If your pledge only contains stickers, you are in luck! All sticker-only orders will begin shipping out immediately after the credit card funds are received and cleared. Keep an eye on your inbox next week for tracking info! The Pre-Order store is also still open for anyone who missed the campaign!
I am so incredibly grateful for your amazing support on this journey. I absolutely cannot wait to share more pictures with you over the coming week as the factory begins applying the vibrant paint, dazzling glitter, and detailed screen-printed features.
You guys are absolutely amazing! Thank you all so much for getting your surveys filled out so incredibly fast. You always help make this entire process as streamlined as possible, and I am deeply grateful to every single one of you.
Here is a quick look at where we stand and what comes next:
Production Timeline
Production Start: Everything is officially locked in and set to begin this coming Monday.
Estimated Completion: Tentatively, we are looking at production wrapping up by the end of July or early August.
Shipping & Add-On Charges
To ensure we can get your orders shipped out the absolute moment they arrive, add-on fees and shipping costs will be charged around July 17th. Charging at this time ensures the funds are cleared and available so there are zero delays on the shipping line.
⚠️ Failed Payments Action Required
We still have a couple of backers with failed payments on file.
Please try to get your payment information updated by Monday.
To prevent BackerKit from continuously trying to hit your card, I will be manually canceling any remaining failed orders at that time.
Thank you all again for your incredible support and for being such a fantastic community. I look forward to bringing you more exciting updates very soon!
We ran into a brief technical hiccup where BackerKit was accidentally applying international shipping charges to all pledges. We have jumped on this, and the issue is now fully corrected. Your survey should now accurately reflect the correct shipping charges. 🫶
Please double-check your total before submitting, and if anyone is still seeing incorrect shipping rates or experiencing any other issues, please reach out to me directly so I can look into it for you. [email protected]
Thank you all so much for your patience and support! A
