Nothing for me here.
So funny seeing all the blank chipboard coming back again. Makes me think of Maya Road and so many other companies from back in the day!

I like a couple of the stickers and embellishments.
Not sure if I will purchase or not, because I have a lot of similar stuff.

I haven't seen this line before... I love some of their designs but the ones that are an entire page.. I would have no clue how to use that.. it's really pretty though.

I quite like the star vellum, and their woodgrains are lovely, but overall their collections are just not a style I gravitate towards.

With the exception of perhaps the card catalog drawer paper in the Academia line, probably nothing for me. I just don't have use for the busy papers Mintay tends to produce.
I did, however, buy a few sheets of their papers on clearance from ACOT with my last order specifically to try to challenge myself to figure out a way to use them. So depending on how that goes, maybe I'll look at their products more closely in the future, but for now, I look at a page of products and it just screams "too much going on, here!" to me.

I can’t get on board with $1.59 for a sheet of paper 😳

Love the dinosaur chippies but will I order them? Probably not.
Mintay isn't my cup of tea.

I love the Lake papers. Wondering if they have 6x6. That would let me use their lovely images plus my own photos and story. Academia would go really well with the latest 49&Market school line. Thinking college or book club LO's.
ETA: They DO have 6x6 of By the Lake! And a 6x8 pad! Thinking those will find their way into my craftroom for sure!

I am always, always looking for lake paper or lake lines and this was so floral! Where are the pine trees? Where are craggy rocks? I need up north lake, not flowerfield lake lol. |

Another fan of the card catalog pp - love that! Their papers are so beautiful but overall, I can't really see how I would use them for my photos. And while I really like a lot of the vellum and the stencils, they're just too pricey for me. Thanks PaperAngel for showing us these new collections. |

I haven't seen this line before... If you are referring to an individual collection, all of the lines linked in the OP were just revealed. However, if you mean the company, it is based in Poland & has been around for a few years; see its website HERE. |

I really like the decorative vellum Same, except it has increased (120%) in price from $3.19 USD/sheet (July release) to $6.99 USD/sheet!  |

I can’t get on board with $1.59 for a sheet of paper 😳 While I understand it's a Poland-based company, I also am not interested in it to even consider the premium price per sheet of a double-sided patterned paper. |

It appears every collection includes a 6x6, 6x8 Add-On, & 12x12 paper pads/set. Per descriptions/images, the By the Lake 6x6 Paper Pad includes 4 each of the 6 double-sided papers in the collection plus 2 bonus designs on the inside covers (which appear to be from the detail/fussy cut Elements Paper), while the 6x8 Add-On Paper Pad offers 3 each of 8 designs (some different than the 6 double-sided papers in the collection & may also include detail/fussy cut elements). |

... having given away a pile of naked chipboard pieces to a schoolteacher friend some years ago I won’t be recollecting ! Since I prefer flat layouts & avoid time-consuming tasks, I've never purchased plain chipboard &, like you, am not interested in buying it now either. |

Sister! I put that in my cart. I have no idea what I'll do with it, but I couldn't resist. What did you think of the lake paper? I am always, always looking for lake paper or lake lines and this was so floral! Where are the pine trees? Where are craggy rocks? I need up north lake, not flowerfield lake lol. Again, there's that need to "busy-up" the papers, and to do so with random flowers had me scratching my head a bit. The funny thins is that when I pulled up the 6x8 pad and could only see a sliver of each paper, I thought "Oooh, these colors are great! This might be nice.", but then I looked at the full sheets and felt confused. (I do still love the colors, but I don't know what to do with those patterns in regards to any lake pics I have in my collection of photos.) |

It seems the card catalog cabinet paper ( Academia Paper 04) is a hit & would be ideal for documenting childhood libraries! |

... And while I really like a lot of the vellum and the stencils, they're just too pricey for me. ... IMHO both products are overpriced & have increased since the company's last release in July - vellum more than doubled (120%) from $3.19 to $6.99 USD/sheet & (6x8) stencils rose (24%) from $10.49 to $12.99/each! For comparison, American Crafts vellum is $3.29/sheet (e.g. AC/Bea Valint - Poppy & Pear: Vellum & Gold Foil), SB.com (exclusive) 6x8 stencils retail for $10.00/each but are regularly on sale at $7.49/each (e.g. SB.com - Geometric Snowflake Stencil), & Simple Stories 6x8 stencils are $5.99/each (e.g. SS Say Cheese - Magic: Confetti Stencil). |
