All orders shipped!
about 5 years ago – Sun, Apr 28, 2019 at 01:18:14 AM

Hello, everyone!

I have some happy (and very exhausting) news for you all:

All orders have been shipped!

HOOOOOOO BOY AM I TIRED ! It took a lot of work but THEY'RE DONE.

I'm sorry for the delay in sending these out but at long last, they're shipped! This is just half of the 300+ orders that have been packed and sent off! This includes all Etsy orders and all post-campaign orders.

Now, some of you have already gotten your orders since I sent off a small batch earlier this week. This was just to test my new shipping system and evidently it's been working just fine!

Those within the US should be getting their rewards to them at some point this week.

Unfortunately International backers will need to wait a bit longer but those rewards should arrive within 1-2 weeks depending on your country.

Well, that about wraps up this campaign!

I just want to thank you all for your incredible patience and support during this whole campaign.

A few of you have already posted photos of your rewards on various social media sites and you have no idea how overjoyed it makes me to see you guys so pleased with the products I have made! It makes me proud to keep doing what I do and words cannot express the gratitude I have for everyone's help in this.

I hope you all keep an eye out for your rewards this week and next week. If for any reason you need to contact me about your reward (be it for tracking information or anything else) please don't hesitate to message me! I'll try my hardest to respond as soon as possible and help you the best I can!

Cryptids mean a lot to me and I'm just, so glad we can all share our love for the weird, the mysterious, and the adorable unknown together.

Thank you! Thank you all so so much!

Pin Arrival + Locking In Addresses
about 5 years ago – Fri, Apr 05, 2019 at 01:40:19 AM

Hello, everyone!

I have some fantastic news for you all!

The rest of the pins have arrived and now the set is complete!

These pins came out REALLY great. Although it's hard to see in the picture, the rainbow glitter in Mothman is so pretty. All in all I'm super happy with how these pins turned out!

Now, due to the delay in production I'm afraid most pins will start shipping out around the 26th of April. This is mostly due to the fact that I have TWO back-to-back conventions starting next weekend (Clexacon in Vegas and Golden State Fur Con in SoCal.) I really wanted to get everyone's rewards out before these events but unfortunately I'm afraid I'm not able to do that due to my manufacturer's delays and my own schoolwork. I hope you all understand my position here and I deeply apologize if this inconveniences anyone.

That said, please let me know if you need your rewards RIGHT AWAY and I'll do my best to send them out. (Again, I'm really busy so please only do this if there is a SUPER pressing time constraint on your end.)

Oh! Also, If you happen to be attending any of these conventions please let me know so I can bring your rewards to you at con if you would prefer that. Okay, onto the next bit of news...

Addresses will be locking soon!

PLEASE double-check the address you have listed in your Backerkit survey and confirm that it is indeed correct. I plan to pack orders whenever I have free time and this includes purchasing the shipping labels for them. There is no penalty or delay that arises from switching your address - just make sure it's going to the right place for you!

This is a repeat from my previous update: There are still backers that need to fill out their reward survey.

If you DO NOT fill out the survey, I CAN NOT send out your rewards.

If you lost your survey/never got the email for it, please enter your email into the survey recovery page:   https://cutie-cryptids.backerkit.com/

And that's about it!

If you have any questions and/or you're having issues with the survey please don't hesitate to message me and I will respond as soon as possible! <3 Thank you all for your wonderful support and patience!

Until next time!

Pin Previews!
about 5 years ago – Thu, Mar 28, 2019 at 02:16:02 AM

Hello, everyone!

Well, good news and bad news!

Bad news: some of the pins will be taking longer than expected due to their complexity/quantity. My manu has said that they should take an extra week so hopefully they don't take too long.

Good news: some of the pins have already arrived at my home!

These pins came out so dang nice! The line quality of them is great and I love how the colors came out. I'm really looking forward to when the rest arrive!

Now, all of that being said, I'm aware that some backers have orders that are for only some of these designs. (For example, some backers pledged for only the Jackalope.) I will start prepping these orders BUT I will not send anything off until I get the rest of the pins. This is just so it's fair for every backer and to insure that no one has more priority over the other.

I hope you all understand why I'm making this decision.

This is a repeat from my previous update: There are still backers that need to fill out their reward survey.

If you DO NOT fill out the survey, I CAN NOT send out your rewards.

If you lost your survey/never got the email for it, please enter your email into the survey recovery page:  https://cutie-cryptids.backerkit.com/

And that's about it!

If you have any questions and/or you're having issues with the survey please don't hesitate to message me and I will respond as soon as  possible! <3 Thank you all for your wonderful support and patience!

Until next time!

Lanyards have arrived!
about 5 years ago – Sat, Mar 09, 2019 at 12:22:08 AM

Hello, everyone!

Long time no update! I promise, this will only be a quick post.

Products are FINALLY starting to arrive to my home and the first of these are the lanyards!

You never realize how heavy lanyards are until you have to carry hundreds of them up a flight of stairs ahaha. But nevertheless! These came out really nice and I'm now getting to work on packing them for shipment.

As for the other products, both stickers and enamel pins are still in production.

I hope to have sample pics of the enamel pins from my manufacturer soon so I'll keep you all posted!

Now, with all of that being said...

There are still backers that need to fill out their reward survey.

If you DO NOT fill out the survey, I CAN NOT send out your rewards.

If you lost your survey/never got the email for it, please enter your email into the survey recovery page: https://cutie-cryptids.backerkit.com/

And that's about it!

If you have any questions and/or you're having issues with the survey please don't hesitate to message me and I will respond as soon as possible! <3 Thank you all for your wonderful support and patience!

Until next time!

Backerkit Surveys Sent!
about 5 years ago – Tue, Feb 19, 2019 at 09:09:38 PM

Hello, everyone!

I just wanted to let you all know that all Backerkit surveys have been sent out!

They were sent to the email you have your Kickstarter account tied to so please make sure to thoroughly check if you have received it in the appropriate email. There's always the small chance that it was sent to your spam/junk folder so please double-check there as well.

JUST IN CASE YOU HAVE LOST YOUR EMAIL, HERE IS THE RECOVERY: [LINK]

The survey is pretty self-explanatory. Your pledge from this campaign is carried over to Backerkit and from there you're able to choose any combination of rewards and add-ons. It's a pretty neat system! The shipping is already included and accounted for. It's just like filling out a KS survey only a little more comprehensive and flexible.

Well, that's about it!

This is a new system so it's bound to have little hiccups here and there. If anything should occur or if you have any questions please feel free to message me and I'll do my best to help!

Thank you all so so much for your support! <3 Until next time!
