10 days in and the campaign is making some GREAT progress. My latest update includes some fantastic media coverage from:

-Tales of the Cocktail – interview
-Paste Magazine – post
-Kardify – interview

See the update here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sferone/cocktail-hour-playing-cards/posts/1582169

AND, I gave myself a mini goal to get to 50% funding before the holiday weekend (here in the US). Today's a great day to join the campaign.

Many, many thanks.

It's an awesome interview - hopefully that gave your backing a shot in the arm as well as one down the hatch!

It's a great win for sure!

We made it to 50%! WOO!

Now onward to 100% (and beyond, cause it would be lovely to reach the stretch goals.

)

Hey everyone!

Only one week left to meet the goal for this campaign!

I just posted an update and revealed a couple items and an extra stretch goal that I'm considering for the future.

I appreciate your support, so if you've been thinking about supporting this project, no better time than right now!

Hey! Quick update for international backers. I just had a request about the 3 deck tier shipping cost.

Now, 3 decks will not have tracking for better pricing for international backers. Here's a quick recap of the first few tiers:

US
1 deck = $14
2 decks = $25
3 decks = $35

International
1 deck = $15
2 decks = $28
3 decks = $41

Hope this helps!

I'm raising the stakes!

STRETCH GOAL for Copper Foil on the Tuck Box is now lowered to $10,500.
(Just $700 away from my original goal)

Here's the update all about it: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/sferone/cocktail-hour-playing-cards/posts/1601455

Thank you!

Hey everyone!

Just a few more days to go for these Cocktail Hour Playing Cards and there's a little momentum building. I would love to not only reach the goal, but also get to the first Stretch Goal that adds copper foil to the tuck box. I lowered it recently, so it's much more attainable now.

All support is appreciated to help get this charming deck made! Thank you!

Let's do it!

Cheers,
Sarah

Only $816 away from the goal! And one more day to go. Check it out...

And many, many thanks to everyone who's come out and supported it so far. So grateful

So - the project got funded, but the stretch goal didn't get reached. Congratulations, Sarah - now comes the real work!

Good luck!

Thanks Don! I can't tell you how excited I am to make these cards

And while we had a bumpy ride at the end, we still managed to be only ~ $400 away from copper foil.

FYI – I'm using Backerkit to manage pledges and set up PreOrders. I'll be promoting that link in a couple weeks everywhere. I also have something else cookin' that could help us cross the Stretch Goal line. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

It's not over til I place that order.

THANK YOU everyone!

Sarah

Hey everyone!

Just a quick note... the Pre-Order store with Backerkit is now open – through 7/13. If you missed out on Kickstarter, you still have a chance to pick one up. Thanks!

Hey everyone – quick update and a surprise!

Pre-Orders for this deck closes tomorrow, July 13. Check it out before it's too late: www.cocktailhourcards.com

Also, I just looked at the budget and it does seem there is room to add copper foil to the tuck box! (Even though this campaign did NOT meet the stretch goal) It's really hard to plan these budgets, especially for your first Kickstarter. I'm glad all my research paid off and I'm able to offer this feature.

THANK YOU!

Any future plans for another deck!?!?

I would love to do another deck. I have some fledgling ideas floating around my head, but a long way off. The great experience from this project will certainly make the next one go even better.
