Patreon Goal Reached + New Updates for September!

Hello everyone! As we near the end of August, we grow closer and closer to the end of summer which I am a little sad about since it is my favourite season of the year :") I hope you guys had a chance to enjoy your summer as much as you can (within the limitations of COVID-19) and stayed cool all throughout the hectic heat waves if your area was hit with any 🔥! If summer's not your thing, that's cool too I hope you can look forward to the temperature drops that are hopefully expected to come within the next few months! 

We recently hit 250 patrons on patreon 🎉🎉🎉!! As always, I cannot express how grateful I am for everyone's support in the past few months since I've started up patreon! I was (and still am) a little nervewrecked then but it's truly been fun to be able to interact with each and every one of you and get to share all of my works with you every month! 

As I promised, once we completed the 250 patrons goal, I plan to implement a few new things next month for October's rewards! This will include the introduction of a new patreon-exclusive secret shop & the addition of 4 new reward tiers!

PATREON-EXCLUSIVE SECRET SHOP

My patreon secret shop will be made available for you all to purchase from every month from the 25th-28th! Please do not share or spread the secret shop link with anyone--as this is made exclusively for patreon only! The store will feature previous month reward leftovers as well as the occasional restock of past items once every few months or so! I've made free shipping available on every single item in my secret shop but because of this, please keep in mind that secret shop orders will be shipped together with your following month's patreon rewards!

This unfortunately means that you have to be subscribed to a reward tier in order to shop from the secret shop as I am shipping out orders combined with the rewards from whatever reward tier you are registered for.  

Your payment must also go through for the following month in order to receive both rewards & items ordered through the secret shop! If your name is not seen on the list of rewards to be completed by that corresponding month, your order will be cancelled & you will be refunded for your order (this is to prevent people from subscribing to patreon, purchasing, and then leaving without paying for the patreon subscription before the 1st of the month). 

Currently this works well for stickers as everything is flat and can easily fit in an evelope but when monthly pins are added to the shop in the future, I will be adding a shipping fee since I cannot fit pins inside a thin letter mail and would hate for them to arrive damaged to you, so I would have to mail them through a bubble mailer for protection instead >< (However, if you are subscribed to the pinclub, I will be sending you a coupon for free shipping so you can purchase pins as you please as your patreon rewards will already be shipped in a bubble mailer). 

NEW REWARD TIERS

Four new reward tiers are being added as well and will be made available to you starting September 1st! (They're essentially just 2 tiers but separated between domestic/USA patrons and international :"))

BIG CATCH patrons gain membership access to the pin club! Just like the standard and deluxe sticker clubs, the pin club members will also have their own exclusive membership cards with the same stamp collecting motive made available to them every month! It's been split into two separate tiers for USA and international patrons so please select the appropriate ones otherwise I will be forced to refund you when I'm processing rewards :"(

SEA KING patrons gain membership access to both sticker & pin clubs! They'll come with both membership cards (if you don't have them yet) as well as their own exclusive SEA KING membership card which will not have a stamp program but will include a special plastic membership card for that extra ~official~ look! 

Sea King patrons will receive ALL rewards from across the reward tiers (standard club's monthly vinyl diecut sticker, deluxe's info-card & sticker sheet set, & pin club's monthly pin) so this is a great way to gain access to all clubs! Otherwise, you will have to purchase add ons from the secret shop from whatever remains leftover! This tier has been split into two separate tiers between USA and international patrons as well, so again, please select your appropriate tier!

Sorry for the long post, but it's a hefty new update and I'm really excited to be able to share it with you all! If you managed to read through this far, thank you so much! As I mentioned before, I will make this update available September 1st for patrons and will post the new updates publicly on September 3rd to give you all some time to decide to transfer over! The new tiers will have some limited slots as well, so I'm hoping to make these available for you all first before bringing it up publicly ToT

Let me know if you have any questions, I will be working hard to make sure everything works out smoothly within the next few days before the end of the month! Thank you for sticking with me through another month and stay safe and cool as always!
