Hey there!! Just a quick reminder to please double check your payment confirmation emails as soon as possible!

👉🏼 You should have received an email from Backerkit either confirming your payment went through, or showing that the payment has failed. If the payment has failed, please correct your payment ASAP so we can stay on schedule for everything!!

I'm a little late writing this update because of my work schedule, but we did it!! Thank you to each and every one of you for backing my Femme Fatale campaign during Pintopia!! 🙏🏼💖  Your support means SO much to me as a small artist and I am forever grateful for you all! <3
 

Here's the next steps:

BackerKit will be processing payments for your initial pledges this week, please make sure that your payment info is up to date! If for any reason your card payment gets declined, don't worry - you'll receive an email from BackerKit to help you fix your method of payment. Please take care of this as soon as you can! You will have 14 days (until May 2nd) to update your payment method. Otherwise, you risk being dropped from the campaign!

While I'm waiting for the payments to go through in the next 2 weeks, I will be finalizing surveys for you to choose which pins/items you want, add any extra add-ons you may have missed, and gather your shipping info/payment. Surveys MUST be completed in order for you to receive your pins/merch!

Production will start once all surveys are collected, and I'll provide you with a more detailed timeline afterward!

Here's what I'll be working on behind the scenes:

• Answering any missed questions in the community tab
• Setting up Surveys and Preorder Shop 
• Finalizing the additional Harpy/Nut pin designs
• Finalize all other pin design artwork/lineart
• Sending mockups to the manufacturer
• Designing the backing cards
• Designing "thank you" cards
• Ordering Stickers and Sticker Sheets

I'll update you all soon once I start sending out the surveys to you! Once the surveys are sent out, the Backerkit Pre-order shop will also be open to your friends who may have missed the live campaign! Please make sure to keep an eye out for your emails and update your payment methods if needed!

Also don't forget to follow me here on Instagram and Tiktok to keep up with my latest updates on the Femme Fatale campaign!

Thank you all again so much for your ongoing support!! Much love to you all and see you in the next update!! 💖✨

-Jess! :) <3

We are in the final stretch of the campaign with 3 hours left!!!

We finally made it to the final stretch goal which unlocks the FREE rainbow holo snake sticker for ALL backers!!! 😻🎉✨ Thank you for being such an amazing part of this little community we've built over the past month, I can't thank you all enough!! 🥺🙏🏼💖✨
 

Here's the sketches for the 2 new pin designs:

The harpy pin will most likely be slightly larger than 2" because of the wingspan, and the Nut pin will be roughly 2". Leave a comment on which Nut pin design you like the best :)

🎉 I will also add these 2 new pins in the Add-Ons page for anyone who was interested in grabbing these before the campaign ends! This is what the Add-On image looks like:

---> For full transparency on why the new pin designs haven't been 100% finished yet, my car basically lost a fight with some hungry outdoor critters last week 😆 I've been in and out of the auto shop trying to fix this issue, so I haven't had much free time to finalize the 2 new pin designs! 

So if you've been on the fence about upgrading tiers, now is the time to get these new Harpy and Nut pins added for FREE with the top tiers!! 🎉🎁💌

---> Here's all the pins you can get in the "I NEED ALL THEM FEMMES" pledge tier and the "MY HEART IS NOW CONTENT" top tier bundle (+ the 2 new Harpy/Egyptian Goddess Nut pins!)

If you haven't had a chance to check out or upgrade to the top tiers, there's only a few hours left to be one of the very few who have ALL of my limited-edition Pintopia pins in one set!! <3

Back mine and my collab partner Allison's campaigns here below before 4pm EST! 🎁⏳💖✨

 

If you haven't backed the campaign yet or haven't seen all the new add-ons, I could use your help to reach this final 9k goal for the free holo stickers!! Here's a quick recap of all the new pins and merch I've released so far!

Medusa pin display boards are a limited edition collab item made by Dragon Woodshop, and these will only be produced during the campaign!! 8/10 have already been claimed, and I will only produce extras if they are pledged for in the next 24, err- 25 hours! ⏰ 


Boards are a separate add-on for +$50, or it's part of the "MY HEART IS NOW CONTENT" pledge tier that includes all 11 pins! (back Allison's campaign for the last 2 collab pins for free~). Early bird pledges can upgrade to this tier while still keeping your Early Bird freebies! 🎉

---> New reusable sticker books, stickers and sticker sheets have also been created as fun add-ons to help us reach our last 9k stretch goal!

Thank you all again for your amazing support during Pintopia, this has been an incredible experience and I'm forever grateful for each and every one of you 🙏🏼💞

And if you haven't pledged yet, take a look at my Femme Fatale pin campaign before Pintopia ends tomorrow on Thursday, April 18th @ 4pm EST!!!

 

Example below of how you can decorate your sticker book! All the big 3" stickers are my designs also available in Add-Ons :) <3

These are only $20 each during Pintopia only! Normally they retail $25 at conventions and $30+ on my Etsy Shop. 

With the sticker books added, I also decided to release these new tan variant stickers as an extra Add-On to help boost us to 9k to get every backer the free holo sticker! 🎉

🎁 Here's the new stickers I made in the last update for the last stretch of the campaign! 🎁

And the current Femme Fatale stickers you can also add on to your pledge :)

Thank you all again for your continued support!! 🙏🏼💖  We have only 2 days left for the campaign, so make sure you check out all the new Add-Ons and Tiers!! (Early bird pledges can upgrade to higher tiers while still keeping the Early Bird incentives!!)

Please help us reach 9k by sharing the campaign with your loved ones in person and on social media!!

---> If you're on Instagram, please help like/comment/share my latest post here!!:

These are available in the Add-Ons page and will be Pintopia-exclusive items!! 

If we reach 9k in funding, I'm also going to give away this FREE rainbow holographic Snake Heart sticker to EVERY backer as a big thank you for unlocking everything in the campaign!!

This holo sticker is also going to be another Pintopia-exclusive item that will only be available to unlock for the next 3 days! We aren't that far away from 9k, so be sure to check out all the new Add-Ons and help share my Femme Fatale campaign with all your friends, family and loved ones!

You can also help share/repost the campaign on Instagram and Tiktok to help us unlock this free holo sticker for all backers!!

Thank you to each and every one of you for supporting my art!! Pintopia has been an incredible experience, and all your love/support means more to me than words can say right now!! So thank you 🥺💖✨

Much love to you all!
-Jess! 💞✨

If you didn't see the news already, there's less than 4 days left to check out all the new additions to my "Femme Fatale" Pintopia campaign!!!

🎉 For the final stretch, I'm announcing a new Medusa pin display board add-on and bundle tier!!! 🎉 This is a Pintopia-exclusive item that fits all my Femme Fatale pins!! <3

---> This pin board is a collaboration between myself and Carly K of Dragon Woodshop who runs the Celestial pin campaign! 💖🪐

Front/back view of the pin board:

With a bit of rearranging, there is also room to fit even more pins on this board!

Perfect for adding Allison's Femme Forecast pins here! 😉

This Limited Edition pin board is available under the Add-Ons section for +$50, and it's also available at a bigger discount in the "MY HEART IS NOW CONTENT" bundle tier below!

Value of this bundle individually is worth $206+, but you can get this bundle for only $175!! This is 15% off the entire bundle, only available during Pintopia!!! 

🎉 Now onto the community poll results 🎉:

The votes are in and we have 3 new pins!!! Harpy, the Rainbow Medusa variant, and Egyptian Goddess Nut! 💖🎉 Queen Akasha will be part of the Femme Fatale pt.2 campaign later this year ;)

I need some time to finish drawing the new Harpy/Nut pin designs, so I will add those to the Add-On section soon and update you all ASAP!

---> For now, I'm releasing the Rainbow Medusa variant pin on the Add-On's page for $10 each, AND it will also be available in the "MY HEART IS NOW CONTENT" 11 pin bundle tier!

***If you've backed the "I NEED ALL THEM FEMMES" 10 pin tier, you will need to add-on the Rainbow Medusa variant! I can't make edits to the price of a tier/add-on once someone has backed it, so the only way to get this newly released variant pin is either adding it onto you current pledge, or upgrade tiers to the newest pin board tier: "MY HEART IS NOW CONTENT"

🎉 This section is for Early bird backers who want to change their tiers to one of the newer/bigger bundle tiers! 🎉 I have great news!! If you upgrade your pledge to one of the highest pin bundle tiers, your account will automatically keep the Early Bird incentives linked to your pledge!

The biggest bundle tiers are actually priced better per pin than the original Early Bird 4 pin tier! I didn't expect to release this many pins/variants in the beginning of the campaign, so if you need to upgrade to a bigger pin tier, you won't lose any of your Early Bird perks!! 🎉

Just make sure you UPGRADE your pledge, don't cancel and then upgrade. Doing so could lose the Early Bird perks, so make sure to just UPGRADE and adjust your add-ons from there! (I've tested the upgrade feature and it will keep your Early Bird incentive locked in!)

---> This section is about updated info on the Persephone collab pin and the extra tan/gunmetal variant I released earlier this week!

Bringing up Allison's campaign, I'm also super proud to say that we've been in the Top 3 Cross Collab Projects during the entire Pintopia 2 campaign!! 👏🏼 Thank you for all your support, it means so much to both Allison and I!! 🤯🥺😻💖🎉 I'm absolutely blown away that you all love our pins so much!! 🥰🙏🏼 

And remember!! You have less than 4 days left to to check out all the new additions to both our campaigns below 🥰🎁

Campaign Links:

I've added a super secret free Limited Edition pin for all 8 pin + 10 pin pledge levels!!! Introducing the new Tan/Gunmetal variant of the Persephone pin to complete all the Femme skin variation sets!! 💖✨ 

***This special free LE variant pin will ONLY be available to those who back the highest pin tier pledge levels AND backs Allison's Femme Forecast campaign!*** This is the only way you can complete the complete skin variant sets by backing these pledge levels and backing my friend Allison's campaign! 

This new Persephone variation reminds me of the sunrise on a spring day, and also reminds me of the eclipse we saw yesterday! 😻 Here's my average-to-low quality pic of the total eclipse below~ lol 

And here's the Gold vs the Gunmetal variants together!

**Remember, the gold version is free/available only when you back my friend Allison's campaign! The new gunmetal/tan variant is only available right now as a LE freebie for highest pin tiers who ALSO back Allison's campaign!! These Persephone pins will not be available as an add-on during the live campaign, and you cannot choose either of these 2 pins in your surveys as part of your original pledge- they must be earned!! 💖✨

Rules on getting the free gold Persephone pin + Allison's Nyx pin:

If you want my free Persephone collab pin + Allison's Nyx Night Goddess pin, be sure to back her pin campaign here!:

If you didn't see my last update, all backers who pledge for 3+ pins will automatically get this free Snake Heart Lock mini pin as a thank you for helping unlock the campaign to this level! 🐍❤️🔓

Here's all the pins released so far in the campaign:

Thank you everyone so much for your amazing support, I am so grateful for each and every one of you!!! 

Let the voting begin!!

Hello everyone!!

I've been super busy with the Easter holiday last weekend, and my birthday/work all this week. So now I finally have the chance to update you with new Mini Pin Sets + a free Snake mini pin for all backers who pledged for 3+ pins!!! 💖✨

These are actually 2 different sets of mini pins that also fit perfectly together as a full 8 piece set~

These will be the cutest little gunmetal mini pins to fit between all the Femme Fatales! The Roses also match Persephone's design of the collab pin for Allison's campaign 🌹

✨🎉 With the reveal of these mini pins, I can finally announce that all backers that pledged for at least 3 pins will get this Snake Heart Lock pin for free for helping unlock this campaign!!! 🎉✨

If you're a 3+ pin backer, you will also have the option to add-on the rest of this heart/stars 3 piece set to complete the full 4 piece set! (3 piece set = $22, making each of those 3 mini pins only $7.33!)

***If you want to add more pins in addition to your original pledge to qualify for the free snake pin, you can either keep your existing pledge and add more via the "Add-Ons" page, or you can change your existing pledge to a higher tier to add more pins to your order!**

---> For early bird pledge upgrades: add extra pins to your pledge via the Add-Ons section to qualify for this free snake mini pin deal! As long as you add 3 standard size pins total from the main Femme designs, you'll get the free Snake Heart Lock pin automatically!

Mini pin pricing:

Each 4-piece mini pin set will be $30 each, making each mini pin only $7.50! The full 8 piece set will be discounted at $56, making each pin only $7 each! 🤩

Please be sure to share this campaign with your friends, family and loved ones!! We have less than 2 weeks left for this campaign!! After this busy week, I'll finally be able to send you a poll to vote on some of the last stretch goals you might want to see! I'm also working on a possible rainbow colored Medusa variant, let me know in the comments if you want to see any color combos or new designs!! <3

Thank you again everyone for your continued support, it means so much to me we've come this far in the campaign together!! :)

**NEW VARIATIONS HAVE BEEN UNLOCKED!! Thank you all for your support!! <3**

Because we reached all the stretch goals so fast in the campaign, I have decided on these color variants!! 2 special Medusa/Siren pins + tan skin variants of all 4 original pins have now been unlocked!!

These variant colors will be limited edition and you'll only be able to grab one of these through my Pintopia campaign!! Don't forget, you'll be able to choose any unlocked pin including all these new variants in your Backerkit survey at the end of the campaign!

You can either keep your existing pledge and add these new variants for $10 each via the "Add-Ons" page, or you can change your existing pledge to a new tier to add more pins to your order! :) 

***Since I'm updating this right before Early Bird tiers close, I'm going to extend the Early Bird tier for another hour to 2pm EST to give you time to upgrade your pledges!!**
