For changes or additions after today, please contact me directly.

Pins are finished!
23 days ago – Fri, Nov 29, 2024 at 03:34:23 PM

Hey, everyone!
The pins are finished and ready to ship to us here in the US!
That means we'll be locking orders in the next 2 days and, once that is completed, we will be charging any additional items purchased through Backerkit. 

If you would like to add anything to your order (including add-ons or previous pins) please contact me as soon as possile. 

Does this new date mean we will get pins in time for Christmas? 
No, pins are still slated to go out to backers in January/February. They still have to get here, which can take a while this time of year, and then they have to be graded and packed. Since this will be the highest volume of pins we've ever done, that may take a while. 

I didn't expect to have this news for you so quickly! But, I know I promised you all a coupon in our last update and here it is: DRAGONHOARD24 
You can use the code at checkout to get 25% off any nonsale items in the store (these will ship now).

I hope you'vd all had an amazing Thanksiving!
Thank you all so much for helping create these adorable little pins.

Update! With pictures already?!?

Hi, everyone! Just a quick update on our project! 

After I got our samples last month, I put in the order for bags. They're well underway. No pics of the final  bags yet, but here is our production mockup and the samples.

We went with this lighter brown rope on offwhite.


Our sticker order will be being submitted soon as it takes the least time to make. 

As for our pins, since pantones were chosen early, I was able to submit them a few days after we hit 90% on the survey. 

Normally, there is a period where we send, correct, resend things and, with over 40 pins, that might have been a long wait. Fortunately, these little cuties were pretty painless with only a few isolated corrections.


Our pins have been fully in production for a few weeks and, since these little guys are mostly just a few colors and only one design features screenprinting, we're getting close to finished! :o 

Most of the pics are very similar so I'm just posting a few. Enjoy!


I am still shooting for January or February delivery, as packages get lost or delayed way more often during November/December, but I will keep you posted on where we are. 
Thank you all so much for your continued support! 
I'll be pulling Creatuary 2 items that were purchased as add-ons today and posting the remainder to my Etsy shop for general purchase before the holidays so, if there's anything you've missed out on, please contact me to add it before they sell out. 
My shop will be holding a sale starting 11/25 and Creatuary items will be excluded but a coupon will be available for Backers only. I'll post an update when it's available. 
 

Survey is going out! Worksheet available.
2 months ago – Tue, Oct 08, 2024 at 05:17:59 PM

We've not encountered any issues so I am going to go ahead and send out the survey to everyone. 

In an effort to make this survey as easy as possible for those of you getting a lot of pins, I've made this worksheet available. 

This form is optional and for personal use only. THIS FORM WILL NOT BE USED TO MAKE YOUR ORDER. I WILL NOT HAVE ACCESS TO YOUR ANSWERS. YOU WILL STILL NEED TO FILL OUT THE BACKERKIT SURVEY. This is just a worksheet to help you determine and keep track of your pin order when you fill out the survey.

Keep in mind, this is a google doc so anyone can edit the quantities. In order to make sure your choices are actually yours (and aren't someone using it at the same time as you), you will want to download this worksheet, save it to your own account or, even better, print it so that you can mark off what you've already chosen.

Instructions: 

  • Download and save the form to make a duplicate for yourself. 
  • Make note of the total number of pins you've backed for. There is a sum at the bottom that will keep a running total of all your choices.
  • Use this worksheet to help you plan your pin reward and to keep track of what you enter/have already entered on the survey. 

This was the easiest way I could think of to help you all keep track. Again, it will NOT be used to enter your choices and you will still have to fill out the survey.

Please also note, while I'm okay at making Backerkit surveys by now, I'm crap at excel docs so if there are mistakes on this one, I apologize. I've tried to make sure everything is in the same order on this worksheet as it is on the question dropdown and I've tried to make sure everything matches language-wise. 

Smoke Test is going out! Worksheet available
