New Zodiac Merit Badge Collection - Designed to Look Great With Magical Merit Badges!

Hi Magical Merit Badge Backers!
I just launched a brand new Kickstarter campaign that is designed to be a companion collection to the Magical Merit Badges, that I thought you might want to know about.
These Zodiac Merit Badges will be 3/4" which just a little smaller than the Magical Merit Badges at 1". I wanted them to go together but still be able to visually distinguish the two when displayed together! There are also three mini chart pins so you can create your Big Three chart in pin form. I even have a special Kickstarter Tier for this that saves you $10.
This campaign is working a little different than my previous Kickstarter campaigns, we aren't unlocking one pin at at time, all of the Zodiac signs need to be unlocked for the Kickstarter to succeed! All backers get a free Shooting Star Sticker so go hop on it!
Since launching the Magical Merit Badges campaign just about a year ago I have been able to make creating cute stuff my full time job, which is so awesome! Thank you for helping me make that happen.

Hi Everyone! I've gotten my website up and ready to shop! Everything from the Kickstarter campaign is listed and ready to ship, so if you missed something during the campaign you can get it now.
New Shop: kittywithacupcake.com
All the orders are fulfilled except for those shipping to Australia and New Zealand. You won't be hearing any more updates here on Kickstarter from me until USPS resumes service to those countries. If you'd like to keep up with news about upcoming designs and pin releases, sign up for my email newsletter!
This Kickstarter has been an awesome journey, thank you so much to all of you backers!
Shipping Complete!

Hi Everyone!
Shipping is complete for mostly everyone! There are a couple exceptions. USPS still hasn't resumed service to Australia and New Zealand so those orders are being held until service resumes. If you are from Australia or New Zealand and don't want to wait, let me know and I'll get you a refund! And the handful of you who never filled out your BackerKit surveys, if these aren't filled out by the time I ship out the Australia and New Zealand orders, your orders will be cancelled.
The pins turned out really great. I'm currently working on getting the online shop up so items can be ordered, it should be ready to go in this month! Sign up for my email newsletter so you don't miss the Grand Opening!
A few couple retail shops are going to be carrying the pins:
- ReBelle in Lexington, KY
- Ghoulish Mortals in St. Charles, IL
- Rotofugi in Chicago, IL
- Hierophany & Hedge in Covington, KY
If there is a shop you'd like to see the pins in send me their info and I'll reach out to them!
I'll post a final update to let you know when the online shop is up, but for the most part the books are closed on this Kickstarter. I had a fantastic first Kickstarter experience and I think each and every one of you for that! I'm working on another pin collection and am hoping to have a Kickstarter up for it in February. Keep your eyes peeled for that!
Shipping is Underway!

Hi everyone!
I wanted to update you to let you know that shipping is well over half-way done! All of the items have safely arrived and a majority of them are currently making their way to you. You will receive a tracking notification from BackerKit! Again, don't panic if your order hasn't shipped yet, there are still around 100 orders that haven't yet been shipped (but they will be soon)!
If you're posting pictures of your treasures on Instagram, tag me @kittywithacupcake! I love it when people are excited about receiving their items!
Once all of the shipping is complete I will be working on getting my Shopify shop set up! It's pretty much ready to go, I just need to take the time to photograph all of the items. Sign up for my email newsletter if you want to know when this happens: https://mailchi.mp/edf5be886e13/kittywithacupcake
Important Info for Australia and New Zealand Backers:
Since the Kickstarter ended, USPS has suspended service to Australia and New Zealand. This means that your orders will be going out via FedEx or UPS instead!
First Batch of Pins Has Arrived - Sticker Orders Have Shipped
over 2 years ago

Hello! I have a couple updates to share!
1. The first batch of pins arrived to me!
They look FANTASTIC! I'm absolutely thrilled with how they have come out. I'll share more photos in the coming weeks but here is an image of the finished Floral Familiar Pin!
About 1/3 of the pin designs have arrived to me. The rest are still in production. The production is on time and I'm pleased with how fast this first batch got to me. I think we're schedule for Late December/Early January shipping! I'll be grading the pins that have arrived and placing them on backing cards while I wait for the rest to come. Plan on cards being charged for BackerKit Add-Ons on December 1st. Addresses will lock in Mid December.
2. Sticker and Washi Tape Only orders have shipped!
Yep, that's right all orders that contained ONLY stickers and washi tape are currently in the mail! This is a very small percentage of orders but, since all of your stuff was ready to go I wanted to get it on its way to you. If you have an order with only stickers and washi tape but didn't receive a shipping notification, it's likely because you didn't fill out your BackerKit Survey.

Thanks everyone!
