The Victorian Villages pins have arrived and they look phenomenal! Here are a couple of pictures I quickly snapped outside in the natural light.

I got so excited and I started taking the pins out right in the trunk of my car, so here's a bunch of them together!

I'm going to go through and make sure everything is here before I print orders and start to pack them up. We're on track to get these out the door and in your hands ahead of the scheduled timeline which is fantastic! I will probably start shipping out in around 2 weeks as I'm just waiting for the reward stickers to arrive, and I have a convention this coming weekend that I'm prepping for and will keep me busy.

I'm back with the Pin Kids Collective with my latest project, Celestial Cottagecore! This campaign will feature different levels of pins in celestial and forest variants. I'll have some really premium designs in this campaign including large-scale pins with stained glass and ombre gradients, and glitter shaker style pins that combine traditional enamel with acrylic filled glitter to make a snowglobe effect as part of the pin. I've gone all out for this campaign and can't wait for you all to see what I have cooking! Follow along with the Launch Party here!

Hello friends! We have some great news: it looks like all of the designs have finished production and are shipping this week. I received some (low quality) pics from my manufacturer, but while the photo quality is low, the production quality is high! The pins look great. Here are a few of the designs:

I'm thrilled with how they turned out and can't wait to see them in person. I'll hopefully have them in-hand next week, then I'll make sure everything is here and start to process pledges. We're on track to also have this campaign ship out earlier than the expected timeline which is fantastic!

The Pin Kids Collective is back in full force with six shops participating in our fall project. My project contains pins evoking both forest and celestial vibes, and all of the main design pins have either a clear enamel glass element or stained glass. Check out our Launch Party to see some of the designs and vote on what else you'd like to see in the campaign!

There will once again be lots of freebies in this project: early backers, returning backers, cross-collab partners, and a pin freebie if you back all 6 projects.

I'll keep you all informed once the Victorian Villages arrive to me and once I start processing the orders. Thank you as always for your support!

Hello friends! I can't believe summer is already basically over; time flies. All of the pin designs for Victorian Villages are officially in production! We're so excited.

A couple of you have either not filled out your survey or I have some failed credit card payments. Please, please make sure to get those surveys filled out and your cards fixed. If you don't do either before the campaign closes you won't get the pins you pledged for! I am ordering very little extras of each design, so to guarantee you get the designs you want please make sure to remedy those surveys and cards!

These kitties are sporting their spooky season best and are ready to be adopted! Make sure to back now to snag your Early Bird reward and Returning Backer reward! We also have a cross-collab with our friends at Oddment & Tweak; back both our campaign and their Popsicle Pals campaign to get TWO FREE MINI PINS!

More updates to come as production progresses with Victorian Villages. Thank you again for an insanely successful second BackerKit campaign!

XOXO,
Nikki

Hello friends! Thank you all so much for being so prompt with filling out your surveys. I'm at 90% of surveys filled out which is fantastic. I'll be closing surveys August 18th, so if you haven't filled out yours or if you need to update you credit card info, please do it this next week. That way, once surveys close I can get the pin order in to my manufacturer and get production started. I've already started picking out the Pantone colors and readying all the artwork so it should be a super smooth process to get these pins underway. I am SO excited to see them come to life!

This campaign will feature felines in different costumes for spooky season! I'll have some fun designs including everything pictured above and more, and some of the designs in different color variants. There are rewards for Early Backers, Returning Backers, and Mailing List Backers -  so make sure to click the button to be reminded of when the campaign launches!

Hello friends! Hope you're surviving this incredibly hot summer. Our smoke tests just went out this morning and so far they all have looked great, so I should be set to send out the survey to everyone tomorrow morning ahead of schedule! Please make sure to complete your survey so I can get final counts and get everything into production. I'm so excited to get this project rolling!

We still have some outstanding payments, so make sure to check your credit card info! Please make sure to update it as soon as you can so you don't miss out on your pledge or rewards.

There are a few designs that are new you can add-on in your survey! I included the two designs that we didn't unlock, and four other designs I'm hoping we can unlock in the campaign. You voted for what animal you'd like to see in Victorian and Gingerbread version, and the winner was a penguin, so that design is available as an add-on. Here's what you'll see that's new that I'm hoping to unlock:

If you missed out on pledging to the campaign, our pre-order store is also open! Our pre-order store includes all of the designs from the campaign that have been unlocked and also we are hoping to unlock. Check out the pre-order store here! We'll be ordering very little extras of the designs in this campaign, so if you have your eye on anything please take advantage of add-ons and the pre-order store!  

For those of you that backed all 6 projects in the Pin Kids Collective, your free jumbo pin reward will be included on the Hearth Warming's campaign, so no need to worry when you don't see it on your survey from me or the other campaigns.

You voted for what kind of campaign you'd like to see next from us, so we are thrilled to announce that in November our third BackerKit campaign will be...

I'm so excited! The poll I gave ended up tied between a cottagecore and celestial theme, so I am combining the two! Similar to Victorian Villages, we'll have two variants available so you can pick and choose which designs you like best in traditional cottagecore style or starry celestial. Make sure to follow along here for a free reward for pre-launch backers!

That was a lot of information but I wanted to make sure you are all completely informed about what's happening! If you have any questions, please feel free to email us at [email protected].
