Uh oh. A bit too much is on my wish list... 😉
I like something from all of the collections. I'll probably grab the ephemera and a few sheets of paper from each.
Thanks for sharing!

April & Ivy - reminds me of Simple Stories Simple Vintage Blooms. I’m not sure I need it, but it’s pretty.
Bra Valiant - a very Maggie Homes feel. Cute! but not really my vibe.

American Crafts is releasing a ton of new collections!
Poppy & Pear - I love the mini alpha stickers, stamps, ephemera, and the phrase Thickers. A few papers will also make it into my cart.
Cool Boy - I have so many photos of my boys I need to scrapbook and this entire collection will end up on my cart.
Cool Girl- I love both sets of Thickers, Berry Cute and Garden Papers, and the stamps.
April & Ivy - I really like most of this collection, too. The gold glitter Thickers are so pretty!

Oh I really like most of April & Ivy and Poppy & Pear! I appreciate you posting this but my wallet does not.

I like the cool girl thickers and the cool boy thickers.
I wish they were more phrases though, without all the little embellishments.
Not sure if I will buy either.
All the rest, is a no.

A few papers from April & Ivy caught my eye. Surprisingly, I like a lot of the cool boy line—some great colours in that one.

My wallet is safe. None of it is my style.

Hey scrapbook companies...
GIRLS like dinosaurs too.
Girls like racing cars.
Girls like to get dirty.
Ugh.
Anyways, no on all of them except the Dinosaur riding a skateboard sticker. Getting that for dd.

American Crafts - April & Ivy - This one is so pretty! I'm definitely getting this.
Pebbles - Cool Girl - I don't scrapbook girls but there are definitely some papers in this that I want. I like the phrase Thickers too.
Pebbles - Cool Boy - I can always use boy paper but this line doesn't thrill me. I like 3 of the papers and that's it.
Bea Valint - Poppy & Pear - Too Maggie Holmes like. I already have enough of this style of paper to last me the rest of my life. It is pretty, though.
Overall this is a really nice release.

There's a sketchy heart on black in the Cool Girl line that I like, but overall none of these collections really appeal to me.

April & Ivy - I like quite a bit of this. Some pretty papers with more of a saturated color. Not all pastels! Cool Girl - Will have to buy some of this for my great gr-dau. Unicorns  Cool Boy - I like some of the pp-s and love the plaid-y Thickers. Poppy & Pear - Pretty but I also have enough of this type of design. Thanks again for showing us PaperAngel. |

I agree the Bea Valint is very much Maggie Holmes style, but I love those small thickers!

I like some of the April and Ivy and might buy a few papers from that one. Nothing else appeals to me.

Getting that for dd. Likewise, boys' interests & communications are not limited to dinosaurs, cars/trucks, dirt/mud, "cool dude," "awesome," etc. as most manufacturers'/brands' token "boy collection" released each year suggests. It seems obvious that offering non-stereotypically gendered collections would increase their appeal & usability since scrappers could customize the supplies to reflect the specific interests of their story/photo subjects (FTR: in no way, shape, or form should this be interpreted as a request for more florals!) |

Not too much I need but there are a few bits I like from Poppy and Pear. I agree very maggie holmes which I liked years ago but have lots and don't tend to use.
Having said that I will likely still buy the tiny thickers, The wonderful paper and blue skies paper. love that blue!

Thanks for your responses. I'm not the target audience of American Crafts pattern paper collections & especially dislike their cheap acrylic stamp sets, ink cubes, die sets, overabundance of florals, color palettes, etc.

No to all of them. They all look like previous collections, and are way too vintage frilly looking for me. The Poppy & Pear look just like Maggie Holmes.
