August is all about easy-going creativity and bold summery vibes — and this month, we’re diving into a new medium that’s all about colour, texture, and playful design. It’s hands-on, satisfyingly tactile, and opens the door to all sorts of creative possibilities.
This time, you’ll be experimenting with a heritage craft that’s made for modern makers. Expect to roll up your sleeves, make your mark (literally!), and bring your own flair to a piece that’s as functional as it is fun.
And if you loved crafting July’s geometric sunglasses case, you’re in luck — this project pairs perfectly with it. Let’s just say your handmade summer accessories are about to get a bold, botanical upgrade…
Carve Out Some Creative Time
In this month’s kit, you’ll be introduced to the vibrant world of lino printing — where simple tools and colourful inks come together to create striking, repeatable designs. With a soft, easy-to-carve block and two lush ink shades (Wisteria Purple and Emerald Green), you’ll be stamping your way to something stylish in no time.
This project invites you to:
🖼 Carve your own cactus-inspired motif
🎨 Mix and match your design using provided templates (or freestyle your own!)
🌵 Add a pop of personality with a vibrant pink finishing touch
As always, we’ll guide you through each step with simple, joyful instructions — no prior experience needed.

Moodboard to Inspire
Think desert blooms and mid-century prints, spiky succulents and soft summer shades. This month’s mood is modern botanicals meets DIY boldness — a playful mash-up of graphic lines, natural textures, and pops of colour.
It’s a creative escape that lets you slow down and make something truly you.
What Could It Be?
We’re keeping the final creation hush-hush for now — but here’s a hint: it’s roomy, reusable, and makes a brilliant match for your sunny new sunglasses case. Whether you’re packing up for a picnic, beach day or craft class, it’s designed to carry all your summer essentials in style.
