Infusible Ink Mugs with the Cricut Mug Press - Layering, Full Wrap, and More

Now that I have been using the Cricut Mug Press for a while, it is time to jump in with some ideas for making Infusible Ink mugs with this machine. This video is sponsored by Cricut, however, all projects and opinions are my own. We are going to cover full wrap mugs, layering Infusible Ink, and using pens with the Cricut Mug Press as well. I have a ton of ideas for you to make your own personalized mugs in minutes!
Please remember that the Cricut Mug Press does not go on sale until March 11, 2021 so it will show sold out until then.
You can see my full video on the press at this link where I explain what mugs you can use in it and more: • Cricut Mug Press: Ever...

Thank God I found you and this video. Yesterday I was watching one from someone "well known" and I was in tears cause I thought I was so dumb I couldn't understand or do anything right. God bless you and keep giving you wisdom so you can continue teaching others. Thank you so much 😊

[@AngieHolden]

Thank you so much!!! I am happy to help!

[@ohmycreations9771]

I’m not new to your channel but I just needed to say, you know exactly what my questions are and give INCREDIBLE detail in your projects and love love love all of the information you give

[@AngieHolden]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@tanyacarter873]

I will be reviewing this view again. I really like how you show the errors as well as the correct way to work with the transfer sheets.

I really enjoyed every bit of your tutorial., please keep up the good work. Am a cricut beginner, and i need this kind of useful lectures.

[@AngieHolden]

Thanks for watching!

[@lorrainecornwell6232]

You know I really like this and was very tempted to get one of these machines but it has highlighted to me how much waste is created particularly with these full wrap transfer sheets. I really think that it is about time that cricut spends some time developing ways to reduce all this waste, or at least make sure that what is left can be recycled. Can you imagine how much is created by just one person doing this. I think we need to care about the environment more. The results are great! I think your videos are really good and clear. The way we craft though really needs a rethink if we are going to protect the world we live.

[@AngieHolden]

I haven't found a solution with only a little waste unfortunately.

[@deborahdececca605]

I can't thank you enough for this tutorial you don't leave a question unturned. Angie you are amazing.

My mug press is my only Cricut product (I have! I think 12) that I STILL haven’t unboxed after 2 years. I watch your videos a lot, but I didn’t 2 years ago. Maybe if I did my mug press wouldn’t still be in the box. 😂 Love your videos!

Cricut Mug Press JUST came out in UK so I’m here for some expertise!!! Not only do I get that AND a very helpful template (thanks Angie) but there is definitely an ASMR aspect to the way you apply and remove sticky tape!!! 😂 🤣

[@AngieHolden]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@iamjuliejames]

Thank you for posting this. I have wasted a few pieces of Infusible ink transfer sheets because of poor weeding (or maybe I just gave up). I must look into the contour feature. Small letters are the thorn in my side (a’s, o’s b’s, d’s, p’s and i’s - because I can never get the dot!) Maybe I’ll try again since I’ve watched your video. I’ll tap into some patience before I start, though.

[@olivia8979]

Very nice. So many options. To my eye, having some shapes along the border edges looks so much nicer than the straight lines. I haven't actually drawn with my cricut yet, and i have been meaning to. I can't remember if I have infusable ink markers though. This would be a good project to do that with. I like your friends mug. I am planning on doing a sisters mug. I am trying to find a cute sisters saying for one side and then put our names on the other side.

I tried it pay attention how you did that but went to fast & couldn’t follow your curser. Thanks for all the great info. You are awesome.

[@classykathy1]

Hi Angie: I am new to your channel, mug press, and cricut. I have used it a little but not much still learning. My question is can you type in a text in the text box and use infusible ink to put it on a mug?? I have been asked to use a name and would have to type it out first to put it on the mug. Any help please. Thank you

[@AngieHolden]

Yes! Just type it out and cut from Infusible Ink.

[@49lucky]

Oh yes I want one I love cricut

[@AndriaMrs]

Thank you Angie that was so good to watch. My Mug Press is being delivered to the store tomorrow and I was going to return it straight away. I could not find a video where you can do other colours and not just the roll of infusible paper. I am wanting to design mugs for the family with coloured flowers and a house etc, also photographs maybe. So I think this means me drawing which I am no good at. Do you have any idea if I can do this please? If not I may just hand it back tomorrow for a refund. Maybe I am being too ambitious. Oh I only have a normal printer too and not sublimation one and cannot afford to buy one.

[@AngieHolden]

The only way you are going to do photographs is with a sublimation printer. The mugs I show here are a good representation of what you can do without a printer.

[@KKsQuilts]

Thank you again for such great tutorials! wondering if you could apply a logo on the bottom. I see a circular heating (?) element under the mug...?

No you cannot. That is not a heating element.

Hi Angie, New to the mug press and making mugs. I have learned so much about infusible ink for mugs. You explain every step so well. I am trying to make the Cat mug ,the project on design space. It has 3 colors and the instruction said to slice/set. In your 2 color mug you cut out the Purple Heart separate from the main pattern, and placed them inside the cutout space Can I use your technic for the Cat mug, it has 3 colors. Or do I have to slice/set. I don't know how to do the slice/set. I would appreciate your feedback . Thank you,

[@AngieHolden]

The method I used here is the slice and set. That is what Cricut calls it!

[@wendybirdsong1]

Angie I love your channel. I do have a cricut mug maker. My question, can I use the technique of pens on regular paper and then cook it and put an infusible wrap around it. Have you ever tried that? I have a picture that I want on a cup but I don't want a WHITE cup. Do you have any ideas? Thanks. Wendy

[@AngieHolden]

You can actually draw on the Infusible Ink sheet with the Infusible Ink markers!

[@wendyvalerie6624]

Lady Angie thank you sp very much. So how did you do the writtings, only with the sticky part of the infusible ink sheets. ?

Not sure which one you are referring to but you can cut the sheets.

[@lindyfarmer8548]

Hi there. Just wondering if the design shown in your opening comments ‘hey there hot tea’ was available in design space. Thanks, Lindy

[@AngieHolden]

I used a font and a mug in Design Space to make it!

[@emilymcmahon9018]

I have tried to make a mug design a few times and every time the backing gets stuck to my light grip mat and pulls apart pieces needing to stay - also, the "handles" that we want to keep as the guide for placement under the handle are cut off.... ideas?

[@AngieHolden]

It shouldn't be cutting the backing at all? You place the shiny backing down on the mat. For the handles, make sure you have the right cut setting again. It sounds like you are cutting through your backing on the Infusible Ink cuts.

[@IraQNid]

Here is a challenge for you. Use the infusible ink pens with a silicone pad printer to see how well the inks adhere to oddly shaped surfaces and objects: eggs, ink pen barrels, golf balls, USB Flash Drives, key chain blanks, computer mice, bottles (drinkware, baby bottles, pill bottles, etc), coasters, plastic and metal boxes, name tags, headphones, ear phones/buds, and whatever else you can reproduce in line with the things you can have personalized from an online custom imprinted promotional goods web site or catalog. If you're not sure what pad printers are lookup the topic on KZbin. While there are specialized inkjet printers with UV curing that can mass produce custom printed 3D objects on purpose built jigs I was curious if you could reproduce those types of machines using only Cricut's infusible ink pens on a pad printer. I'm wondering how long it will be before Cricut makes a Crafter's version of the Pad Printer :)

[@sharonvrenna]

I noticed you did not mirror the MOM. Is that because it would look the same both regular and flipped horizontally? Do you have to mirror ALL writing to cut out on the infusible transfer sheets? Do you mirror ALL writing images without using the transfer sheets?

[@AngieHolden]

I usually mirror everything just to get into the habit so I don't mess something up.

[@marilynmulkey6095]

I have questions about making a design with more than one color. Once I'm done with the design, after I click on attach all the colors become the same. What am I doing wrong. I really like your videos

[@AngieHolden]

Attach would cut them out of the same color sheet. You would attach everything you want cut from ONE color.

[@varonastevenson179]
