Thank you all so, so much!

This has been an amazingly exciting campaign and I can't thank you all enough for being a part of this and helping to bring it to life!

In the coming days I'll be finalizing the surveys via Backerkit. Once it's all set up you will receive an email with instructions to walk you through confirming your pledge and with choosing pins and add-ons as needed. You'll also have a chance to add stickers if you'd like!

I'll make another update once the surveys go out. You guys are awesome!

Final 3 hours and I just added stickers as add-ons!?

Call me crazy, but let's do stickers!

Here in the PNW we've been dealing with a ton of snow and yesterday and part of the day before we were out of power. No power meant no stickers and no updates! So this morning I worked my butt off so I could make these and let you all know that you will be able to add nature dragon 4 inch vinyl stickers as add-ons!

They will be die-cut out of hearty vinyl and a nice big 4 inches in size! I made some edits so they are not exactly like the pins but they will be their own thing. There is no extra shipping needed to add them and there's no need to adjust your pledge right away as they will be listed in the add-on shop in Backerkit as well. 

*These will not be available individually in the shop as I normally do not sell stickers.

I will try to be around for questions so please shoot me a message any time and if you're unsure just remember that you will have a chance to add any of the add-ons after the campaign is over =]

All pin pledges now get a 3 inch vinyl sticker! See the design now :D

All pledges that include a pin will now get one of these ~

Exciting! 

These stickers are made from a durable vinyl and will be the exact same size and material as the Draco stickers from last year (see last post for more examples). One sticker will automatically be included with all orders, and they will be available as add-ons as well should you desire more! 

*Stickers will not be available for purchase on their own. They must be added to a pin order*.

Individually the price for one of these will be $3.50 each, and can be added onto your pledge now or you can add it on in the pre-order store later if you want more than one. I'm able to offer the round ones at a lower price than I will be able to do for the die cut dragons because I can order these in a much higher quantity and the die cut ones are simply more expensive to make as well. 

I will still take a look at making die-cut stickers of the Aura Dragons in Nature, and if I do they will be $5 each as add-ons in the pre-order store once the campaign is over.

Oh, and because you can never have too many dragon pins, and especially to those who fancy some D&D, a friend of mine has some neat designs as well! 

We're half way through!? A note about add-ons, and I'm thinking about stickers!

Half way

With only seven days left on the Kickstarter we have reached the half-way point and what a ride it has been! Woo! I haven't had much to update as everything has already been prepped as much as I am able to, and I can't even begin ordering things like shipping boxes until I know how many I need.

What I have been working on is the final survey and add-on page that will go out to everyone once the campaign is over which is all ready to go as well.

About Add-Ons

Just so there is no extra confusion about how add-ons work, I've updated the FAQ tab on the main page and also updated the graphic near the bottom of the campaign page to show all of the possible pins that can be added on to any pledge. 

As a quick recap for add-ons, 

• To add an extra pin to your pledge, just add $15 for each pin to your your pledge level. 
• No extra shipping is needed - it will be $4 for US and $14 international no matter how many pins you pledge for. 

I'm thinking about adding Stickers?

Last year I added a 3 inch vinyl sticker into all of the pledges as a stretch goal, and although they're not something I sell separately (postage is a bit of a pain for them) I like to include them in with orders from my main shop. Here's what I currently have, including the Draco design in the middle 

I'm considering creating another sticker design - or maybe more - for this campaign! If I create a design to include with every pledge automatically it would likely be the Eclipse Dragon to match the campaign. But, if enough folks like the idea of stickers then I may create some die-cut designs out of a couple of the Aura Dragons in Nature in addition. My personal favorite is Tranquility on the left side there, with the succulents. 

If I do add stickers then I will also make them available for purchase via the add-ons (and can be added to your pledge after the KS via Backerkit).

Let me know what you think, which design(s) are your favorite, and I can see about getting some extra goodies added! 

Thanks for reading! :)

Backing cards revealed!
about 5 years ago – Sat, Feb 02, 2019 at 03:59:42 AM

I'm excited to reveal the backing card designs for the new pins! I hope you like them as much as I do =]

The open edition will look a tad different as far as layout than the limited edition because unlike the Eclipse Dragon, it will need space for a hole to be punched so it can hang on my display for conventions. There will be no holes in the rewards, but I'll be ordering many cards so it's planning for all situations! I still may adjust the sizing for the LE card though before the final order is placed.

The Aura Dragons backing cards turned out really fun I think! I tried it a few ways, with the titles different and with or without the leaves, but I feel the leaves added a nice touch to make them a set. Plus, it kind of feels like you're looking through the leaves to see these dragons in the wild.

The add-on visual has also been updated on the main campaign page to include an image of all the pins available for add-ons. I hope this will help clear up which pins can be added. The steps needed to adjust a pledge have also been clarified so it's very easy to add as many pins as you'd like! 

As always please don't hesitate with any questions you may have. This is a short campaign and so there's only 12 days left already and only a handful of Limited Edition pins remain. 

Thanks for the amazing support everyone, I'm blown away by how far we've come! =]
