Hello everyone!
I am very happy to say that the smoke test through Backerkit went really well and we had no issues with the surveys! That being said, here is my large update to tell you all about the surveys that will be coming your way and how it will work.
I am doing my surveys to get all the information needed to mail your pledge via Backerkit. I chose Backerkit so I could allow for people to get add-ons and other goodies if they wanted to. By doing this I was also able to offer a pre-order store for others that may have missed the kickstarter, so yay! Everyone wins!
I am very excited because I am right on schedule to be getting orders and rewards out to people in a very timely manor.
In order to keep on schedule and be able to ship rewards out in time for the Holidays, I will be locking orders on November 26th. This is 3 weeks to complete your surveys! I will then be charging cards the next day on November 27th, That way I can ensure all the rewards come in and I can begin shipping rewards out in early December. :)
I will be sending surveys out after I make this update, so if you do not receive your survey by end of today (November 5th, 2020) please send me a message via kickstarter and I will be more than happy to help you out! Backerkit will send your surveys to the emails associated with your Kickstarter account, so be sure to double check that if you aren't too sure or if at first you don't see your survey.
You can purchase a wide variety of add-ons through the survey system such as additional tarot decks, enamel pins, and more! I am also offering my other tarot and oracle decks as add-ons also!
If you wanted to add some additional prints to your order, I am offering more prints from the campaign as well as enamel pins, tarot cloths, etc. I tried to fill the Backerkit with plenty of goodies for you all just in case!
Thank you all so much for being apart of this journey.

Hello everyone!
I am very happy to say that the surveys for The Bone Tarot deck are all completed and ready to be sent out! I wanted to wait until Kickstarter had nearly completed the processing portion of all the cards.
That being said, I have sent out a smoke test through Backerkit to test out the surveys and make sure everything is working. If you do not receive a survey right away, that is normal so don't worry! I plan to send out the rest of the surveys a bit later this week! I will make an update here as well as soon as the rest of the surveys come out. I will also be making a bigger update later this week with deadlines for surveys, estimated shipping days, merch updates, etc! So stay tuned for that!
I am so proud of this survey set up so I hope you all enjoy it as well!
Once again, thank you so much for your support during this kickstarter!

We funded! Thank you!!
Thank you to all 336 of you! Together we blew this out of the water and now we are going to be moving forward with getting these card decks into production! I am going to be putting a rush onto these so that they can be here before holiday season gets started :)
So what is happening next?
Currently there are 24 backers who need to fix their failed pledges. Kickstarter gives us a week to fix this or else your pledge is dropped and you will not receive your pledged rewards. Please check your emails and correct your payment :) If you are unsure if your pledge needs fixing, feel free to reach out to me to check.
Surveys
I have been prepping backerkit for the last few weeks getting it ready. It is nearly ready to go so in about a week I will make another announcement for when surveys will be heading out!
Thank you all so much for helping to bring this deck to life. I am SO excited! I have a lot of work to do but will be keeping you all updated every step of the way,
Cheers!
Final 24 hours! + Stretch goal UNLOCKED!

We are officially in the FINAL 24 hours of the campaign!
I can't believe it has been 30 days already! Thank you all so much for joining me to help create this tarot deck. I am so excited and production is going to be starting ASAP. I've gotten my final sample from my production company and am really happy with the final product. Take a look below!
Another exciting update is that we have also reached the $20,000 stretch goal! This one is really fun and has unlocked a tarot bag for each backer of $50 or more!
This is just a rough mock up, but this is the general shape of the tarot bag that I am working on designing! The bag will fit one tarot deck and have some extra room for other things such as crystals or notes.
Thank you very much for being apart of this, it is so so exciting!
We have 24 hours left before the campaign ends, and just in case...I have one final stretch goal as apart of the campaign.
This final stretch goal will unlock a 1.75" hard enamel pin! I have chosen 'The Sun' design as it is one of my favorites and has such a powerful message of positivity.
(The final colors for the enamel pin are not pictured above, but they are coming!)
Thank you all again so much for helping to create this reality. Final 24 hours...Let's do this.

Final days! Backerkit + Stretch-goals + What to expect!

Hi everyone!
As we enter the final 3 days of the campaign, I wanted to give you all an update on how everything is going and how it will go when the campaign concludes.
**A quick reminder! Make sure your payment methods are all up to date before the campaign ends. Kickstarter allows one week to adjust and fix failed pledges. I want to be sure that everyone gets their campaign rewards! :)
First, I'll be doing all of the campaign surveys through backerkit. Roughly around two weeks after the campaign ends (maybe a bit sooner) the surveys will head out! During this survey process you will also have the chance to get some add-ons! I will be adding a bunch of additional goodies to the backerkit surveys.
Some of these add-ons include enamel pins, other tarot decks of mine, the tarot cloths, prints, etc! Also, because a couple people have reached out and asked for it, I will be putting in an add-on that has the descriptions of what bones were used in each suite and card. This will be through small inserts that can fit into the tarot booklet that comes with your deck!
As of right now, we are currently $2,362 away from our $20,000 stretch goal! This next stretch goal unlocks a tarot bag for every pledge of $50 or more! I will be finalizing the design, but for now here is what I'm thinking! I want to feature the design of 'The Hanged Man' with the colors of the deck. I'll be playing around with it, but wanted to still show you all the WIP!
And then...If we really blow this out of the water: Our final stretch goal is at $25,000 which will unlock a limited addition enamel pin! This pin will be of 'The Sun' tarot card and I was thinking about adding some glitter and really make it special!
Thank you all so much! Let's finish these last three days strong <3
