That is a solid no from me. Too shabby chic. Reminds me of a company that was around early/mid 2000's. Very similar.

Mintay is not really my thing although there is the occasional paper that grabs my attention-I'm looking at you wagon wheel paper from the Golden Days collection, or Paper 4 from Blissful Time! So pretty! I also like the ephemera pieces from the Golden Days and I might actually pick those up.

Mintay is very pretty but way too fancy for me to actually USE

Usually I love Mintay's lines, but I think I can pass on all of these. I thought for sure the Christmas collection would get me, but no. Thanks for sharing, though. It's nice to see what's coming out.

There are a couple of papers in the Christmas line that I might like for cardmaking - snowflakes and poinsettias. But I'm not sure if I would realistically use it. It's beautiful but maybe a bit too fussy for me.

I really like some of the chipboard sets but I don’t really use chipboard.
The Halloween, ornaments, and summer sets all look neat, but I don’t know how I would use them.

I like the Christmas line the best, but some of the main sides are a bit busy for layouts. The b-sides are gorgeous though. I don’t need anymore Christmas paper, but the 6x6 pad would probably make some beautiful Christmas cards.

As a brand their stuff is just gorgeous, but generally way too formal for my style. I love the colours of the Christmas collection, that mint and pale pink are totally in my wheelhouse and I love it paired with the red, it's just way too wintery/cosy in it's imagery.
I kind of like the papers in the Grandma's Attic line, I think they'd work well with lots of the travel photos of castles/stately homes/ruins that I've still got to scrap.
The autumn line just wouldn't work with the types of photos I have, so that's an easy pass. The Blissful Time line is very pink, and mostly not my style, although I do think the cloud paper is really pretty and I could see a couple of the wallpaper type prints working well with some of my photos.
I don't have a good source for Mintay though as none of my regular stores carry it, so I'd have to really want them to seek these out.

I love Grandma's Attic and Golden Days - the colors and design of the papers are gorgeous.
Would I ever use them....I don't know but they sure are pretty!!

Mintay is so hard to work with. I would never have tried them except that NJFB kit club uses them a lot.
It requires so much fussy cutting to make it work on a normal layout. I kind of enjoy the challenge but I have to be in the mood for the work involved.
That being said, some of the b-sides are really neat. I love the tag one and the white sweater one. I love the foxes in the fall line and the deer in the Christmas line.
I have some of their Christmas paper from last year and I made a cute layout with it. I might buy a couple sheets of the Christmas line and the Christmas die cuts to play with.

It's nice to see what's coming out. Sitting on this bench with you. I am not one for frilly stuff, but some of their lines are just amazing, but these all go to that frilly place for me. |

I’m a Mintay B sides person, but only if I come across it in a store. I wouldn’t order it in.

I also like the look of Mintay, but rarely buy or use. I like the die cuts and images from Golden Day, but not the papers. I am not a fan of the baby pink in Merry Little Christmas.

Not really a fan of any of it, except for the chipboard flowers and maybe the Christmas diecuts. Otherwise, it’s too vintagy for me.

Love the Christmas & the Blissful Time collections. Admittedly it's a company where I buy it for the background sides of the papers, and then mix with other companies.

They are such lovely papers, but I have so many vintage looking papers already.

Thanks for your responses. Like many of you, I think this release is pretty but not my style (ie too vintage, shabby chic, frilly, fussy, formal, busy, etc..).
