None of the above. The patterns are too large for me.

I love home cafe for when my baby starts eating purées! Except I’ve only made one 12x12 page since she was born 😅

Home cafe - love the embellishments but not the papers. Bloom - just the opposite I liked some of the papers but didn’t like the embellishments at all. Beachside Boardwalk - I love the theme but I feel like it’s half retro an half nostalgic. Apothecary - I was getting a weird circus freak show vibe from this collection but I don’t understand why they added florals to the collection. It’s not for me but I’m trying to think of what kind of pictures I would use with this collection PaperAngel thanks for sharing the links! |

Yeah, I’d probably have to get the roller skates paper from boardwalk and that’s be it 😁

Home Cafe is the most appealing of these collections, it doesn't feel as garish as the others, but I don't love the scale of the prints (or most of the patterns).
I like the orange seahorse and coral b-side in the Boardwalk collection but have no need for it.
The others are an easy pass. Overall I just don't like the direction FP has gone with their recent collections and don't feel the need to add anything to my stash.

I like the Bloom collection but I would have nothing to scrapbook with it.

Other than maybe the ruffle die, I don't see any of this finding it's way into my home.

What in the seven hells has happened to Fancy Pants? They used to be one of my top companies back in the day. These collections are atrocious to just plain weird. Wow.

As indicated in this thread, Fancy Pants Designs was acquired from Foundations Decor sometime last year (see announcement). The name of the new owner(s) does not seem to be on its website. |

I think that everyone who talked about the scale of designs has nailed it. Especially in Home Cafe, the designs are all too large scale. I like some of the papers, but it would need to be mixed with smaller scale designs from another collection.
The strawberries in the diecut pack of Bloom look like they are going moldy.
I like the titles from Boardwalk, as well as the orange seahorse. I also like the Wild Things paper in Apothecary, but probably have no use for it.

I appreciate there is some originality to the new lines, but they are not for me.
The exception would be the Home Baker paper (green). I love that.

I love some of the beachside boardwalk. Will purchase the stickers and embellishments.
I like the foam stickers words from all the collections, and will purchase them.
I like some of the cafe, but I don't care for the colors.....so I will pass on it.
All the rest, I don't care for or already have something similar.

What in the seven hells has happened to Fancy Pants? They used to be one of my top companies back in the day. These collections are atrocious to just plain weird. Wow. This is exactly what I was thinking but I was also thinking drugs are involved. I bought a couple of the bizarre papers in the xmas line but wasn't able to use them in DD. Just too weird. I kind of love it but I won't be able to use it. I did add the one b&w apothecary paper (like where the things have tattoos) to my cart cause it's rad and there's October. But it's coming out now. |

I love a bold floral, so I could see using either Apothecary or Bloom, but I have so much stash to use that I won't be buying anything.

When I saw the name Apothecary I thought they were doing a collection of medicine bottles, herbs, and maybe bandages. That might be good for get well cards.
In any case none of these collections appeal to me.

Nothing that is catching my eye here, except for the snakes(?) and bugs in Apothecary. I agree with christinec68 and others: that particular collection doesn't make sense. |

I like some of Bloom, but I don't really need more florals.

I agree about the scaling being off on the papers. Most of the patterns are way too large. Having said that I will likely buy the apothecary collection...it reminds me so much of my DD age 20 which just got a new tattoo of a rabbit in nearly identical design as the wild things paper. - She is away at college and I found out about said tattoo on Instagram LOL

Thank you PaperAngel for posting these!
I really wanted to like the Boardwalk but the slanted cut aparts just don’t work for me. I would love the paper with the carnival rides if they were straight. I do like the embellishments and will think about adding to my cart.
Other than that, I’m not interested in the other lines. I do appreciate that they’re trying something new but agree with other posters that it’s all a little weird.

Thanks for your responses. I find these collections look dated due to their color palettes, public domain imagery, oversized fruits/florals, floating icons, hand-drawn aesthetic, etc. Nothing is added to my wish list.
