Hey guys!

We've had a wonderfully fast response to the surveys, y'all are spoiling me! However I did want to put out a quick reminder to those who've not filled out the survey -- SURVEYS ARE DUE AUGUST 22ND! YOU HAVE ONE WEEK LEFT! If you've not filled out the survey by then, you still can -- I just can't guarantee that what you want will be avaliable as the order for the pins will be based on the survey quantities!

This is also a reminder that orders will be locking on the 22nd as well, meaning no changes can be made. If you've already sent in your survey and are thinking about throwing in an add on or changing selections, make sure to do it before the 22nd!

Thank you all again for supporting this project, I'm looking forward to sharing updates as the pins move into production!

Much love,

Katze

Hello lovelies!!! Just a quick update to let you all know that surveys have been sent to everyone! If you read the most recent update re: smoke tests, the rest of this post is repetitive. If not, please read on for info about preorders and new add ons!

There are still 8 of you who still have failed payments. 8 is a much better number than the 20+ it was right after the campaign, so yay, we are moving in the right direction! But that still makes up for $445 of the campaign funds. Fixing your payments as soon as possible will help us immensely!

You can check your pledges page here and click on the page for this campaign to see if your payment failed. If it did, it's as simple as re-entering your card info!
 
If you do not fix your card in time but you still want your rewards, you will still receive a survey if you have not fixed your payment at this point, but the cost of your pledge will be due along with shipping at that time.

Thank you so much to everyone who's fixed any card errors so far, it means the world to me!

Finally, I wanted to let you all know the pre-order store is officially OPEN! So, if you know anyone who's wanting to get the pins at the campaign exclusive discounted rate, this is the chance! You'll notice in the preorder store and surveys, there are a lot of items avaliable from both mine and Rexus Illustrations' previous campaigns. We wanted to give you guys a chance to add some other items to your orders if they interest you and only pay once for shipping! You'll find pins from my The Sweet Shop campaign from Pintopia, What's In The Bag?, the PokePostage collab, and the Paopu Fruit Ita Bag campaign!




That's all I've got for you guys for now! Thank you again for an amazing Pin Quest! I'll send another update when surveys go out to everyone!

Hey there!

Smoke Tests just went out! What's a smoke test? It's a chance for us to catch any errors in the survey! 5% of you guys were randomly selected to get the survey early for this purpose. It's crucial for those of you who got it early through this test to fill out your survey and report back to me if there are any issues, so please check your email and see if you got a survey today!

There are also 8 of you who still have failed payments. 8 is a much better number than the 20+ it was right after the campaign, so yay, we are moving in the right direction! But that still makes up for $445 of the campaign funds. Fixing your payments as soon as possible will help us immensely!

Hello everyone! Thank you all so so much again for supporting this campaign. I'm still absolutely floored to have seen my first original art campaign be so successful, and I know my partner for the campaign, Tora of RexusIllustrations is too.

I wanted to put out an update regarding surveys, and an explanation/apology for the delay! Originally, I had planned to have them out shortly after the campaign ended, but things got a bit busy and out of hand -- as I'm writing this, I am home for the first time in over 2 weeks as I was travelling for conventions as part of 6 weeks of back-to-back con weekends. It's been a super busy season for KatzeKreations as a business, and the lack of time at home to work on things resulted in this delay. I absolutely

The good news is that after this week, I am free for the entirety of August to work on everything that I need to catch up on -- my first priority being the surveys!

Smoke tests will be sent NEXT WEEK, and if all goes well, then surveys will be sent by AUGUST 8th!

If you are chosen for the smoke test, it is very important that you reply to them! Your survey will serve as a test to make sure that everything is working as intended. If you come across any issues, please let us know!

I'm also going to be sending out emails to a few of you whose pledges did not go through. Fixing any payment issues as soon as you can really does help a lot!

That's all for now -- wishing you all the best!

Hello everyone! I'm back from my most recent convention. Today I wanted to announce the winner of the add-ons poll!

In the last update, I had said that the 2 most popular add-ons would be added to the campaign and avaliable in the survey. The washi tape and sticker books were so close...

 

Now in the add-ons page, Plush Blankets, Gold Foil Washi Tape, and Sticker Books! You can update your pledge HERE if you would like, or wait until the post-campaign survey to add them there.





We have a little over 72 hours left on the campaign! As a reminder, we are still shooting for the 200 backer goal to add a FREE holographic sticker of the Magical Deckbox design to EVERY backer's order.

Below, I've also attached a poll asking which pin you are most excited to get your hands on! Your responses will let us get a bit of an idea of what pins we'll need to order more of!

I'm excited to see the rest of this campaign thru! I hope you all are just as stoked!

PS: If you're in the Midwestern US, you can look for both me and RexusIllustrations at the following upcoming cons:
