Sample Pictures! Black & Purple bag + Acrylic Charm + Buttons + Freebie Sticker!
over 3 years ago – Mon, Nov 16, 2020 at 08:33:04 AM

Hi Everyone,

I just recieved some more sample pictures from both my bag manu and my Acrylic Charm manu and wanted to share with you all the pictures I recieved :D

I set up the photos in a collage that way Im not bombarding you with like 10 photos.

 The black sample had the dark purple lining on the inside instead of the custom one, so, ill be getting that fixed for bulk order. I didnt picture it because its not what youll be recieveing anyways.

  The purple bag looks amazing! Had some hiccups along the way but ultimately, looks great! AND it has the custom lining! Its funny how all three bags basically got different interiors for the sampling process.
 

  The back of the charm (left hand side) looks great! however, the Front (Right hand side, needs some adjustments. The blue portion is suppose to be very transparent and, I noticed, for both the front and back that the transparency between the lines of the ”glass” is completely opaque and thats suppose to be a transparent white as well. So, Im getting those fixed before the bulk order as well :)

  (380 buttons pictured)

 I also completed all of the buttons! Im really happy that all of you like them and that some of you even added on more to share with friends and family. I didnt expect these to get as much love as they did but Im very grateful for it.

 Since the design was so well recieved, I have also decided to throw in a free Cute Witch Club sticker with every pledge! I dont have them in yet but, once I do, ill be sure to show you all!

 All in all, the bags are done, the acrylic charm is looking good, and the pins are still in production. Im really excited to see everything in person and I cant wait to show you all as well! As long as everything goes smoothly, ill expect to have the bag and insert samples in by the end of this upcoming week and will, hopefully, see the updated charm sample next week. 

Thank you all for your amazing support! Until next time,

Courtney

Hi Everyone,

Just wanted to quickly let you all know that digital rewards have now been sent out. Those who have errored payments or havent completed their survey yet wont be recieving an email with this reward, so if you dont recieve an email, I would highly recommend checking backerkit to make sure youre not missing any important information needed to recieve your rewards.

you can check by going to:  Cauldron-Ita.backerkit.com and filling out your email to recieve your survey.

If youre having problems updating your information, finding your survey, recieving your digital rewards, or anything of the sort, please feel free to contact me and I can get you squared away. You can contact me via instagram, email, or kickstarter :)

Also, I recieved an email last night with a photo of the crystal insert and thought I would show you all

(the insert isnt sewn around the edges yet so, its a bit rough in that department)

Overall, Im very pleased with the updated insert but, I dont think the photo is doing it justice. Ill be taking better photos of everything once they arrive. Ive gone ahead and approved the insert and hopefully, that was the last thing needed for the samples to finally finish up and be sent my way but, Im not sure if the black and purple bags are done yet. Ill let you all know once I have more information.

Thank you for your continued support!

Until next time,

Courtney

Cards Are Being Charged!
over 3 years ago – Wed, Nov 11, 2020 at 08:55:44 PM

Hi Everyone,

Just thought Id let you all know that all cards have begun getting charged through backerkit. Please check your email to make sure your card has been successfully charged to collect shipping and additional add-ons (this is only for people who left a debit or credit card on file and not for those that paid using paypal).

Some cards were declined due to insuffient funds or incorrect information. Those affected will recieve an email asking them to update their information. Ill be trying to collect funds again on the 15th but, if you find that you wont have the funds available until a later date, please let me know and Ill make note of it on my end. 

Thank you all for your continued support and for making this project come to life. Ill be updating you all again once I either have more photos to show you or to ask for last minute bag color changes before I order everything.

Until next time,

Courtney

Final Reminder - Cards will be Charged Tomorrow! (November 11th)
over 3 years ago – Wed, Nov 11, 2020 at 01:43:07 AM

Hi Everyone,

I just wanted to send out a final notice that cards will be charged tomorrow that way its out of the way, and you won’t be charged during or soon after the holiday season. 

Ive gone ahead and locked surveys that way I can get a final count on everything BUT, I know that there may be a couple of people who want to switch bag colors after seeing the final samples and so, if that does happen, please just message me that youd like to change the color of the bag you purchased and, I can get that fix that on my end. This has to be done BEFORE I place the bulk order for the bags. 

Also, update on the insert change. Ive let my manufacturer know a couple days ago that I would like to change the colors completely for the crystal insert and am now just waiting on her to invoice me the charge. After that, it will probably be about a week until I see the sample. Once its approved though, the purple and black bags will just have to be finished up with their sample (if theyre not already) and then everything will be sent over to me. I dont expect it to take more than a week since its a small shipment and, afterwards, ill take photos, show you all, and get this ball rolling for a bulk order! 

Im really excited to get them all ordered and cant wait to see how the samples came out! Just from seeing the pink ones, Im really excited!!

Anyway, thats all from me, I hope you all have a great rest of your day!

Until next time,

Courtney

Pink Bag Sample First Looks! + Update on Crystal Insert
over 3 years ago – Sat, Nov 07, 2020 at 04:25:30 PM

Hi everyone,

I wanted to quickly say thank you for all of the support on the last update. I cant tell you all enough how much it means to see you all in support of the new colorway despite it being drastically different from the original concept. 

I went ahead and emailed my manufacturer this morning letting them know to update the design to the new one. Hopefully, this one will go smoothly and there wont be any more hiccups. 

Onto some really great news, the pink sample has finished and oh my gosh, I couldnt be happier with how it came out. I did notice, however, that the interior lining wasnt the custom one so, I made sure to let them know that the interior lining needs to be used for the bulk order on all three colorways. Other than that, I hope you all love it as much as I do!!

Thank you all for the support! Ill keep you all updated as to what happens on my end and like ive stated before, if you want more quick and consistent updates, check out my instagram ( @cinnitea ) where Ive made a story highlight labled ”ita updates” which will go over all of the updates that have happened so far and will hold any future updates as well.

Thank you again for all of the support and kind words, it honestly means the world to me. Until next time,

Courtney
