August Reward Club Reveals!

Happy July! I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe weekend this past holiday and that you celebrated cool-y and safely!

First off, the summer shop feeding frenzy will be going LIVE this Sunday @ 11AM PST / 2PM EST! I'll be working on getting a catalogue up and running with all the available new + returning items in just a few days for everyone to prep ahead in advanced! Patrons will receive early access to the shop update ONE HOUR prior to the public update (so Sunday @ 10AM PST/1PM EST)! I'll also be posting an update to the shop password along with the catalogue this week before you guys get access! 

I hope everyone is excited for all of the new things to come this Sunday! White Squirrel will also be handling the fulfillment for all the new items and I'll be slowly transitioning over to them for emails and shop fulfillments so hopefully orders will be going out faster from here on out ;o; Thank you for your patience as I've been working through my shop! As many of you know, Umvvelt is only run by me and I handle everything from shop maintenance, emails, design, order fulfillment and etc., so I always appreciate the patience as I know I'm a little slow with being so overworked. o)-( I'm hoping with this new change it'll free up more time for me to focus on larger projects in the future (!!!) as well as get all orders out to everyone faster! 🙏🙏🙏

The membership/stamp club cards have been officially discontinued!! As mentioned in last month's posts, it was just a ton of work to keep up with and as a result, made shipping patreon rewards a ton slower so starting this month, you'll no longer be receiving any stamp cards or stamp stickers! Thank you so much for participating during this past year, I'm really happy with the community patreon has allowed me to build during the one year I've been on here and thank you so much for your support, especially to those of you who joined me on this journey from the very beginning ;;

I'll be working on a patreon exclusive t-shirt to give out for those of you who have been with me for the past 6 months or more or anyone who has completed a full stamp card regardless of their time here! A form will be put up sometime in September-October for everyone qualified to fill out and receive their free t-shirt! If you don't qualify, no worries either, they'll also be available on the secret shop once that's up and running!

Just as a quick reminder, if you haven't joined the discord yet, to please do so if you wish to see more frequent updates! I update a lot more things casually (such as WIPs and personal life updates that may result in any delays for Umvvelt/patreon!) than I will on here!

AUGUST PATREON REWARDS: 

This month's freebie trading card features the oceanic manta ray! You guys loved the idea of the trading cards and I'm super happy to be rolling out more of these! I hope you enjoy collecting one every month! ♥

Big Catch Pin Club's reward reveal for August features the amazing ribbon eel! I'm super happy with how the screenprinting and gold-plating came out with these little wriggly ribbons! The ribbon eel is one of my favourite eel-friends to date and I'm sure you'll enjoy having this new wormy friend around to keep you company in August!

The Crybaby's Deluxe Sticker Club reward reveal for August features baleen whales!! This may or may not be a two-part set with next month's feature being toothed whales to match, but I figured it was finally time to do a whale postcard with a matching sticker set after so long! As always, a clear sticker sheet will come to match with the informative postcard so you can stick some nice whales all over your favourite surface. 

The Crybaby's Standard Sticker Club features a crybaby reunion! The 3 currently known crybaby species have come together for their great annual migratory meet up! This meet up features the original crybaby, the rare pink crybaby, and the spring sakura crybaby! I chose the month of August since that's my personal birth month so they all must meet... for me :^) 

As always, Sea King Club will receive all the rewards mentioned above! I am unfortunately running out of our favourite little yellow boxes and I unfortunately won't be able to restock them until I move sometime later this year (to conserve space and make it easier for me to move in the future) so all Sea King Club pals will be receiving their rewards in padded envelopes instead for the time being! 💦

I mentioned that the secret shop will be up and running again in August but it doesn't look like I'll be able to get it back up with August being a move-in month for me as I focus on a few changes with moving to White Squirrel and also moving into a new home so I'll try to work out some things and see if I can get it up and running in September, so fingers crossed!

I'll also be looking into adding new tiers to patreon such as $5 stickers + Pin Club tiers and etc to make it a little easier for those of you who want to receive those rewards monthly but not buy them separately from the secret shop! I'm so excited for the new changes but please bare with me as I work my way through all of them as I'm still just one person with still a lot of work to do TT;; thank you so much for your support as always!!! 

Please look forward to the shop update this weekend and keep an eye out for the catalogue as well!

Stay fishy and all the best,

Kir
