It is interesting! I actually like a few of the b sides of the papers, especially the back of the tiger page.
The color scheme is very Studio Calico and it reminds me of something too, but I can’t put my finger on which line .

It may not be a "buy the whole collection" purchase for me, but some of this definitely appeals to me. I really appreciate how different it is and I know that I will pick up some of the embellishments, and at least a few sheets. The definition stickers and perforated paper are must haves for me!
ETA: The more I look at it, the more uses I see for the paper. I have some teen/tween girls in my life and I can see that these would be versatile for a lot of things without being overly feminine or juvenile.

It's a very similar color scheme to the Let's Wander Vicki Boutin line, but the Isla Vista paper with the pink and gold swirl pattern on the b-side is very Maggie Holmes... |

I like some of it. The tie dye is very on trend for right now. I wouldn't buy the whole collection (I HATE that yellow puke color) but I do like some.

Some of the blue/pink combos remind me of 1canoe2. I like a couple of the papers, but most of the patterns are too big for me. I'm not a fan of the papers that has a repetition of words. I'd rather it was a versatile pattern. I'm way too cheap to buy $2.99 specialty paper. It would have to be something I immediately fell in love with!

Not usually a fan of big icons/animals on paper, but my kids' high school mascot is the tiger, so this collection is now on my list  Interesting choice by the designer/manufacturer.... |

Interesting. I like a few of the papers.
Can’t say I have much use for a tiger stamp though.
Like the alphabet stamp set but like someone said on another thread, heidi’s stamp quality is poor.
Like the definition stickers but had to laugh when I saw ‘rad’ included.

I'm undecided. I like that wave paper but its scale is very large and I'm not sure how I'd use it. I think I might end up kicking myself if I pass on it now, but I'm probably going to pass.
I put a paper in my cart with a gray striped b-side. I'm not excited about much else. I really liked the Art Walk line, but this one not as much.

As someone who worked at a zoo and saw tiger faces regarding me each morning as I walked to my office, I love the tiger stamp and paper! 😊

I like the tiger paper but wild cats are my thing. I also like the wave paper.
I agree about that ghastly yellow color. Yuck. So many designers are using it, too.
I like the vellum piece, the washi, and the charms. I'm not sure it is worth the price, though.

I like a couple of the colorful papers and the diecuts. That’s about it for me.
I actually like the “puke” yellow. It’s more of a fall color to me, which is easier for me to use. I don’t like primary, or pastel yellow at all.

Not for me, but I have to say that I see people use papers that I don't give a second look to and they do amazing things with them. I do have some amazing pictures of our tiger from the zoo, but those are already scrapped.

I do like some of the patterns but it just depends what I was scrapping about. For me, I would like them in a TN.

I like the tiger paper, that’s very striking I can’t wait to see someone use that.
The mottled blue bleached paper I like. I like the real wavy grid. I like the color blocked sheet too. I sort of like the specialty perforated paper & the foiled paper
But the rest reminds me of my grammas decor 👎🏻 And the whole thing does not strike me as cohesive.

I love the muted blues and greens and golds. Even the pinks.
I don't have a use for the tiger paper, but I love the B side of it. The specialty paper is pretty expensive, but I really like it.

It’s an interesting collection and I like a few papers but I am waiting to see what other collections will be for pre-order in the next few weeks. I am waiting on Paige Evans, Vicki Boutin, PinkFresh and Crate Paper collections.

I am definitely seeing ideas to use this in different ways, and I like the creative potential a lot!!

The color scheme is very Studio Calico I have a massive Studio Calico stack that I bought ages ago that has colours and designs that have a very similar feel to this release. I am not a huge fan of this collection but it is great to see a variety of different styles and colours hitting the market, we were getting a lot of the same same for a long time. |

Meh.
I just want to know—is the tiger pink?
If so, why does the tiger have to be pink? That’s weird.

This doesn't excite me at all, it just feels kind of dingy I just want to know—is the tiger pink? If so, why does the tiger have to be pink? That’s weird. Yeah, I find that weird given that mustardy yellow colour is in this collection. |

Yuck. Okay, that's kind of harsh, but this doesn't appeal to me at all except maybe that faded denim blue color. It almost seems like someone's idea of a joke collection - "Let's throw some random stuff together in colors that would make even your grandma grimace and call it a day." Why did they make the tiger pink on the large paper? It would have been striking (and usable) in the gold tone or even in white. And the stamp set cracks me up - a few beachy stamps with the sentiment "enjoy the now" because that crazed, wide eyed tiger is about to pounce and maul you to death.  I'm sure I'll be amazed when I see what people do with it... |

I like the colors on this one. I know the HS collections have a lot of pink but I do use it a lot so this could work for me. The tiger is kind of random. I think it’s supposed to look like an old negative but it just looks weird to me.
