Hey guys! 🐌
As promised, here are a couple of the add-on items that have been completed. 🌾
First are the Frog Lingo magnet sets. These came out a bit thinner than anticipated but the print quality is still great and they stick to surfaces just fine. 🤌 Every time I go to the fridge there is a new unhinged sentence that my partner came up with. 😂🌿
Excuse the lighting, I took this at night.
I also have the postcard sets packaged up! These came out absolutely stunning. The cards are pretty thick and have a 'soft touch' feel to them. For these designs I also put an overlay on the art to make it look like they are old paintings. I really love how they turned out!
That's all for today! I hope to have more pin samples to show you all very soon. Have a wonderful week!

Hey guys!
Surveys have officially been locked and cards charged so we can begin production!
I still have a substaintial amount of backers that have not filled out their survey. If this applies to you, please do so ASAP. I cannot account for the pins you want if you do not fill out your survey.
Some other updates:
I received the postcards and magnet sets. Both came out amazing! I will be posting photos in the next update once packaging of these items is complete.
Stickers are going into production next week. The company I use has a very quick turnaround so they should be here within a couple weeks.
I also have sample photos of some of the pins before we begin mass production. Keep in mind these photos are taken under harsh factory lighting and can skew the colors a lot.
Last chance for surveys!

Hello everyone!
There is 5 days left before I lock surveys and charge cards on Backerkit! (This will not affect your ability to change your address). All surveys have been sent out to everyone's email.
If you did not receive a survey for whatever reason, please use this survey link to retrieve it.
Please note that the survey needs to be fully completed including address and payment info (if you added more items in backerkit) in order for your items to be counted. I have around 90 backers with incomplete surveys and 50 with unanswered surveys. The sooner these are completed, the sooner I can start production.
Tl;dr: Fill out your survey by July 25th or else 🧐

Hi guys!
I have finished up creating and fine tuning the Backerkit surveys. I just sent out a smoke test to about 5% of backers to make sure everything is running smoothly. Once I get a majority of those surveys back, I'll be sending out the rest either today or tomorrow! Surveys are sent directly to your email.
Please note that if there was any issue collecting your pledge through Kickstarter (ie: declined payment), it will take approximately two weeks for your Backerkit suvey to be sent out. Unfortunately it takes a while for Backerkit to reflect any fixed payment.
I will be finalizing counts to begin production on July 25th. Please be sure to complete and submit your survey by then to guarantee you will receive the pins you want. I cannot guarantee rewards for any survey submitted after that time.
On Backerkit, I added a couple old favorites that can be added to your pledge, the Lemon Head frog and the Rainbow Sliding frog pins. Additional Mile Fly Club pins and other add on items can be purchased as well.
I also added one more new stretch goal that can be unlocked via Backerkit! It will be unlocked once 25 people purchase it alongside their rewards. If it doesn't hit the goal of 25 orders, it will not be made and you will not be charged for it. This idea has been on my brainstorming list for a while so I'm glad I finally got around to designing it!
Please DM directly on Kickstarter if you have any issues at all regarding your pledge/survey/payment. I don't always get notified for tiktok/instagram comments/dms and I don't want to miss anything!
That's a wrap!

We did it! Thanks to all 416 of you, Cursed Frogs: After Dark is my most successful Kickstarter campaign to date! I cannot express how thankful I am that you all love these very unnecessary pins as much as I do.
Over the new couple months, I will be sharing production updates and photos as I receive them from the manufacturers. I've already got the ball rolling on the add-on items since I have counts of those items already.
Within the next week I will be sending out surveys via Backerkit. These will be going to the email you used to sign up on Kickstarter so please be sure to keep an eye out for it. I will make another update once I send them. It is very important that these are filled out as quickly as possible. The quicker I get these surveys back, the sooner I can begin production.
I will also have the option available to purchase additional campaign pins/add-ons through Backerkit if anyone missed out on anything.
Thanks again to all of you; talk to you again soon!
