Hi everyone! Firstly, production has started! Pins have started being produced, and stickers should start in the next few days! Bookmarks and desk mats will be next.
In other news, production and shipping prices have gone up quite a bit in the last month due to *gestures at the state of the world*, which means i had to pay a higher price to produce the items- as a result, i will have to charge the pledge manager a little bit earlier than expected! Dont worry, you dont have to do anything!
If you would like to add more items to your pledge, now is the time and it would be very appreciated!
It means the world to me that you have been so supportive of this project and i'm working hard on making sure everything looks amazing for you!
Last but not least: For everyone who hasnt filled out their surveys, please remember to do so! We are sitting at 75% completion and i already had to take a risk and get production started for some items to try and get ahead of rising prices. I would really appreciate it if you could fill out your surveys so i can get accurate item counts for the remaining items <3
Good morning Feline Friends! This is a short update going out to remind everyone to fill out their Pledge Managers if you havent already! The previous update has larger size images of all the items so you can see them all in one place. You will have received an email with a link to Backerkits pledge manager to fill out. Pledges will not be charged immediately, and i will send out a notification before they are charged so you can make sure your cards are ready.
To everyone who has filled them out so far, THNAK YOU SO MUCH! Filling out pledge managers early helps me start production ASAP and keeps shipping from being delayed, as i need to know roughly how many of each design i need to order <3
Now that thats out of the way, Hi everyone! Survey smoke tests have been sent, and surveys will go out to everyone between today and tomorrow. If you have received a smoke test survey (only 15 backers will have received these) please let me know if there is anything amiss! Now, this update WILL BE VERY IMAGE HEAVY- I will be adding images of all the items and add-ons so you can see them in a larger size than they appear in the pledge manager.
Pins
Magnetic Phone/EreaderGrips
Bookmarks
Sticker packs
Notebooks
Desk mats
I know a lot of you were waiting for the pledge manager to see all the add-ons, since i kept adding them during the campaign! Thank you so much for being so patient, and i hope you love the variety of the items i made for you and i cant wait to show you the results! You will also have available many items from my previous bookish collections if you'd like to save on shipping. (unless you pay via paypal, which charges you right away) Add-ons will only be charged in 1/2 months, so you have plenty of time to add more items and save up for the ones you'd like to get, but please FILL OUT YOUR SURVEYS ASAP! I need to have about 80% of surveys filled to order the items from my manufacturer so i know how many of each design to order! <3
Please let me know if theres anything i missed and you'd like to see! Have a great week, Saphira
Good evening everyone! First of all, thank you! This project was a success thanks to you! Secondly, I have a surprise for you! The last desk mat option is ready!
Meet the third desk mat design
This brings us to 3 options you’ll be able to choose from as an add-on! In so sorry about the delay, life has been kicking my butt but my objective is always giving you more options to choose from 😊
Next steps
Now, BackerKit has started charging cards for the project, and I’ve made the pledge manager! The next step will be sending you the pledge manager so you can pick the items in your pledge. This should happen next week. When I do that, I will also make another update with all the final images and names of each item, so you can use it as an additional catalogue- the images in the pledge manager can be quite small, so a very image heavy update will be used to show you alllll the new items this project will have available for you!
24h to go, and one last update to tell you that i confess, i tripped and finished another kindle grip....and then decided to just unlock it and make it available for you! Dont worry about me, im fine, it's just the mania hitting hard this week ;) This new grip will be available in 3 variants (Calico, Tuxedo and Seal point) during the pledge manager. I'd absolutely like to make more colours in the future, and maybe if these do well i will! This project has been a roller coaster of emotions for me- i've put into Felines and Folios the most amount of work i ever have in a project- i'm making new items, i made a huge amount of new designs, i paid for ads, i posted everywhere i could think of, i tried really hard to make it a success! It hasnt translated into a very successful project, but im so happy with what i've accomplished! I'm just really pleased with it, and i hope it will become a feature in my shop and convention table.
Thank you so much to everyone who has stuck around and supported the project- all your votes, comments and messages really helped guide me and we ended up with a lot of new items that i might not have finished if you hadnt been so enthusiastic!
