Project Update: New Designs/Goals, Shipping Updates, and More on the Road Ahead

Buckle up, Adventurers! It's a long update ahead, and I apologize in advance for the length, but lots of good info! For those who want just the highlights, here's what's below:
  • New backer tier "Overseas" now available for UK backers
  • New backer goal to unlock brand new pin design
  • Updated campaign images to help streamline info and improve clarity
  • Design reveal for "Collect" and "Support Human Artists"
  • More campaigns to love!

Shipping to the UK

I have added a $1 pledge level for UK backers only (and if it isn't working for you, please let me know!). Shipping to the UK will ultimately go through custom listings on Etsy after the campaign to manage shipping requirements, but the backer tier now should make it easier for me to get in touch after the fact and lock you in for BackerKit rewards/pricing.

It's not a perfect solution, and I apologize in advance for the complicated process, but I'm glad it'll allow me to open this up for folks in the UK, as well.

New Backer Goal (100 Backers)

The design for the last pin was wrapped up this weekend, and then I, uh... slipped and designed a 7th. As one does. So I've added it as a backer goal for reaching triple digit backers, and it may be a bit of a stretch to get there, but we're going for it! The pin itself will be glittery hard enamel and celebrates artists and I hope you love it.

Of note: While this new pin will be available for any backers to choose from if unlocked, it will also *automatically be included* for backers at the "COLLECTOR" tier.

Also of note: I do not plan to design any additional surprise pins at this point, so you can rest assured that the pins shown on the campaign page are the full set of possible pins! We'll focus on these initial goals and see how these next weeks go and I'll, of course, keep all of you updated with any changes as we go along.

Campaign Page Updates (for Added Clarity?)

If you're looking at the campaign now, you might notice that it looks a bit different, but hopefully in the best way! I noticed the more I read the page the more I needed to jump back and forth and all around to get the information I was trying to share. Hopefully this new layout is more streamlined, still gives you solid preview images to refer to, and makes navigating the possible add-ons, goals, and more a little easier. Let me know if this was helpful!

Introducing COLLECT and SUPPORT HUMAN ARTISTS

I've talked about them enough above, let's look at the designs, shall we? Take a look! Last two pin designs!

More to Love

Part of what makes Pintopia so lovely is the community around it. And there are *so many* amazing designs! I wanted to spotlight a couple others below and keep sharing the love throughout the next 2.5 weeks. Take a look!

Bookshelves for Bibliophiles: If you love books, like me, these pins celebrate over 10 different genres with super cute, on-theme bookshelves. I can't get enough of them!


Bookish Mythical Creatures: Staying on the book theme today (and there are more than just these two!), these book-loving mythical creatures are just beautiful. There's also some really lovely bookish add-ons, including a reading journal!



Thank you for all your support so far! Let's keep this train rolling!
