Just came across your video. I am enjoying the way you are teaching us "how to". I will continue watching but I really just wanted to let you know that when you were doing your mug and said that your text was inspired by one of your favorite Christian songs, "Fully known, Fully loved" I had to look it up. I didn't recognize the phrase from any I had heard so being curious, looked it up. I listened to Tauren Wells' song. Very much enjoyed it. Thank you for the informative videos and thank you for not being afraid to raise up our Lord. Please continue to teach and share these videos, and please stay strong in your testimony.
I am addicted to your videos!!!! Just found you and have binged for 3 days!!! First of all, I love your kind and lovely expression of your faith. Next, your ideas are wonderfully inspired and you make it look so easy. I love the way you show all the steps. Thanks so much for taking all the time you take to do these amazing videos for us.
@@Bethadilly Same here!!! I am the least crafty person ever... and you make everything look soooo easy!. Also, the colors and music you have/play, makes it sooo relaxing :) . Lots of sucess with the channel !!!
I have ruined three mugs using a marker for text. It is far too wide and makes the letters run together even though it is a writing font called The Skinny. Can you tell me what font was used on the first mug, please?
I think you are the only one on TH-cam that has actually gone into this much depth about the infusible ink pens and markers! I am definitely going to try this technique out! Thank you so much! ❤️❤️❤️
I would LOOOVE to see your daughters design a couple mugs for their daddy for fathers day. Print out the design and let them color it then have you put it on the mugs for him. That would be sooo sweet. Have to admit, my fave has to be the heart. Gorgeous!!! Still waiting to get my press. Can't wait. Buuut... I gotta wait til the 3rd stimulus payment comes in for us. Maybe then the rush to get one would have eased up so there's no shortage of them. Those mugs look soooo cute. Again, another great video. As always. Thanks for sharing all your Cricut knowlege with us. It is greatly appreiciated.
hi! thanks for your easy to follow tutorial! i finally was able to do a first test on using infusible marker/pen mug press project! the only issue i had was after it was done drawing which turned out awesome btw! was it didnt cut the paper template. what did i do wrong? i did see that your video was showing multiple on the operation section. mine just showed pen. Help!
I am wondering if you can write directly on the mugs with the infusible pens and moughtarkers and then process in the mug press. Seems like you ought to be able to do that. I still haven't ordered a mug press yet, but am sure I will - looks so fun!
Unfortunately, you cannot. I know that it seems like you should be able to, but in all the sublimation I have seen the ink design is placed on a separate transfer paper and then pressed to the blank. I hope my videos are helping you decide on if you'd like the mug press!
@@Bethadilly Hummm - that just doesn't make sense. It would be so fun for a kiddo to be able to draw directly on a mug - then wrap it with butcher paper and process. Your videos definitely bring me joy and I will more than likely be purchasing a press soon and I may just experiment with drawing directly on a mug...who knows!
@@dawnadalton7812 Yes, it would make the children's drawing so much easier...I agree! As of now, the method for children's drawings are to either upload and mirror their drawings or to retrace their drawings with a bright pad to mirror it. I hope that makes sense!
You just know how to pick the softest colors when you design. These are so great. I have had fun making them as well. Thank you for inspiring me to be more inventive.
So glad you liked these! I am really happy with how they turned out! To be honest, the colors were really difficult for me. I even recorded this video the first time and deleted it because I didn't like the end results of the colors I originally chose and ended up recreating a whole new video with new mugs! Lol!
Any tips on how to get the copy paper to not tear when removing from the mat. I of course lifted my mat from my paper by flipping it but even with the light grip mat it was too sticky and ripped the paper
Mame those designs are facing the left hand side 😅. Love the tutorial though but it is confusing when you say it’s for a right hand mug but the design is on the left hand side..
Oh goodness, now I NEED a mug press! LOL. Thanks again for another easy to understand tutorial! Now... how to hint to my hubby that I need a mug press for Valentine's Day.... Hmmm... LOL
My colors came out very faint on the flowers…should I press it a second time with the Cricut mug press? Or is it the laser copy paper? Thank you so much. I’ve learned a lot from your videos 🤗
I haven't, though I know others have. To me it doesn't make sense to do so, I worry that the ink from the sheets will just rub off on the marker tips and ruin them so I don't think I will be trying it.
Super cute idea. After watching your video I was curious does anyone know the time and temp if you have a regular mug press? I don’t have a cricut press. And if you mentioned it in the video and I missed it. My apologies. Once I get some paper I will try this out.
Hi there, another fantastic video thank you! It's definitely making me want to add a mug press to my wish list 😅 I was just wondering how well these mugs do after washing? Do you have to take any special measures? Have you ever observed any of the design peeling off? Many thanks and keep up the great work 👍
Well, practice makes progress with learning, but I did find them to be very user friendly. I don't remember my exact timeframe, but more like it took me a handful of projects to feel more confident. As for multiple machines, I feel like they are all so similar that once you master one you pretty much master them all...they operate the same 98% of the time. Hope this helps, and of course, TH-cam tutorials really help the learning process!
Good morning I love you video I have a question if I make my own designs with the markers and put it in my design space as I'm able to still be able to put it on my mug
Hi! I just got a Cricut Joy and a Cricut Mug Press. I love your way of teaching - not too much and not too little info. DH wants me to make mugs as a thank you for donations to a charity event in which he participates. Is there a way to combine using transfer sheets and markers? Thanks!
Beth, question: If I upload a design (logo) as a jpeg or png, how can I tell the machine it is a draw? I'm having trouble as it thinks it is a print, then cut, not draw (w/infusible ink) then cut the template. Help!
You cannot convert an image to a draw file, it would be print then cut. This would mean you’d need to print the image on a sublimation printer in order to sublimate it onto a mug.
Hi Bethany - this is one of the absolute best projects. I love the pink heart. And I have also seen a few tutorials where photo images have been included too....AND.... other types of blanks were tested as well. This is a whole new world and I am so excited...!!
I've personally only used the products recommended to ensure that I don't ruin my machine. If any ink gets on the inside of the machine, it will ruin it for future projects so I would recommend the butcher paper. The design can be reused, but the second time it is used it will not be as vibrant.
Beautiful work!! I just opened my mug press and your tutorial made me so glad that I went ahead and bought the pens. I'm off to listen to Tauren and create some mugs!!🥰🙏🏾
I noticed that you moved the rollers out of the way of the printed area. Good to not smear the ink or discolor the rollers. You’re super cool! Thank you!
Hi Bethany, I just did my first mug following your video. Since I don't have a sublimation printer or infusible ink paper, I decided to use my infusible markers. Well, 1: I put the image upside down (oops)... and 2: I used HP laser gloss copy paper (that's all i had) and the image came out so pale it's hard to see. What kind of laser copy paper do you use??? Or could I just use everyday copy paper?? I love your video and would like to achieve as good as you did. Thanks
Hi Louise! I have the paper that I use linked in the description box below the video! Hopefully you give it another try and I hope it works better for you!
You are a fantastic teacher! I just purchased the Cricut Explore Air 2 yesterday, and I have been bingeing videos - yours have taught me so much already! Thank you!
I was waiting for this tute and I loved it! Finally I got my wish and you are using the Explorer Air, you are so good about explaining everything, even people like me that English is my second lenguaje, thank you so very much!
I have an important question to ask you...have you ever experienced any issues with your cricut machines with the alignment of your cutting? like if no matter what it cuts off center or the cut shifts?
I have not. If you’re experiencing this with print then cut projects, you can calibrate your machine to improve that. For regular cut projects, I’d recommend contacting Cricut if it’s not cutting properly.
How can I search for other images for this? For example anything Disney? I’m used to searching svg for shirts and tumblers. Not sure how to find images for the mug press...
I do spend some time demonstrating this in the tutorial, so be sure to rewatch the Design Space portions of this tutorial. I show how to find drawing files when making the first mug, and I also show how to covert cut files to drawing files when making the second mug.
Ungroup to lines, never knew about that. Dang I need to watch random Cricut tutorials more often apparently because I keep picking up new things I didn’t know about and I’ve had my Cricut for years! Apparently I just like doing things the hard way rather then a simple click😂 I only learnt about the align feature a month or so ago. Seen them just never used them and didn’t know what they did. 🙈
I have seen this done and it's so beautiful! I personally am really hesitant towards it for a couple reasons: 1. I think I heard it is not recommended, and 2. the infusible ink markers are really pricey in my opinion, and I worry that having them write on an ink transfer sheet will potentially ruin them or ruin their color since the ink on the transfer sheet would be mixing or rubbing onto the marker. I am not saying I won't try it eventually, but that I am currently a little hesitant. :)
I’m waiting on my Cricut Joy to arrive but the more of these videos I watch I’m a little intimidated because there are so many steps. Does Cricut have a manual for this program? You do a great job explaining the steps and why you need to do a step, very helpful so thank you for your videos, they are very helpful.
I don’t know of a manual but be sure to check out my Cricut Joy playlist, I have 100 videos on the Joy and watching demonstrations is really one of the best ways to become familiar with it!
@@Bethadilly that makes me so excited! I can’t wait to use mine Wednesday. Thank you. Also thanks for the butcher paper tip I’m sure people Didn’t know that and ruined their machine or several projects. You’re the best.
I just discovered your channel and I'm hook. Your explanations are so precise and clear. Thanks soo much for sharing your knowledge and creations. You have a new subscriber. Love your channel😍
Hi Bethany. If I am using this template but my mug size is 11oz do I need to adjust the guides for centering the images or leave it as is for the 12oz mug? Thank you.
I truly don't know, as I've only worked with the 12oz and 15oz mugs so far! Definitely try cutting out the template on paper first, just to see how the sizing works on your particular mug and that might give you an idea for if adjustment is necessary.
I”m thinking that the heart mug with an initial in the middle would be cute! Thanks for this video!
That would be so cute!
love the heart dot and the plant. Not too crazy about the llama
I love Tauren Wells.

Can I use normal printing paper instead of laser paper.
I have no COMMAND button on my laptop...?? HELP...!!
Can you down load an account near and transfer that to a mug? I would like my children make a personalized mug for their dad

It would be great fun to let your girls draw with the markers and then transfer their art to mugs as gifts for grandparents or other family members. 🌸
Yes, the markers would be the method of choice for something like that!

Hi can you help I am trying to do the infusible ink mug my explora air 2 draws it but it does not cut it count
Does it have to be laser copy paper or will any multi purpose copy paper work?
if i wanted to have kids draw on the mug for a present how would i go about that?
Where did you get your beautiful mat from please
Awesome tutorial. I love the heart mug at the end the most.
What laser copy paper was used I cannot see it
Can you use the infusible pens on t-shirts?
Mame those designs are facing the left hand side 😅. Love the tutorial though but it is confusing when you say it’s for a right hand mug but the design is on the left hand side..
It means when I hold the cup with my right hand, I can see and enjoy the design. Hopefully that helps you.
Just received a Mug Press for Christmas so this was very helpful! Thank much
Oh goodness, now I NEED a mug press! LOL. Thanks again for another easy to understand tutorial! Now... how to hint to my hubby that I need a mug press for Valentine's Day.... Hmmm... LOL
Can I use sublimation paper?
Beautiful 😍 question 🙋♀️ how should infusible ink pens be stored, also upside down?
My colors came out very faint on the flowers…should I press it a second time with the Cricut mug press? Or is it the laser copy paper? Thank you so much. I’ve learned a lot from your videos 🤗
your volume is real iow. I am having trouble hearing you even after I raised the volume on my computer.
Hmmmm, everything is working on my end. Sometimes you need to actually adjust your audio settings in TH-cam as well as your device. :)
Hi! Have you tried using the infusible ink markers to write on infusible ink transfer sheets?
I haven't, though I know others have. To me it doesn't make sense to do so, I worry that the ink from the sheets will just rub off on the marker tips and ruin them so I don't think I will be trying it.
So I’m from the uk, and have no idea what laser copy paper to use😩, can someone help me out?!
I'm not seeing the link for laser paper. Did you get an answer?
Can this be done with the maker 3?

Another brilliant video, will try out this technique with my pens.
You do such wonderful work!! I love it and you make it look so easy!! Thank you for sharing😍
Can I use a silicon mug wrap instead of the butcher paper? Also, did you paint your roses onto your Cricut? They are beautiful!
Love the heart design you made! I wasn't sure how to use the infusion pens/markers.
What size markers did you use? Thank you.
Be sure to check out the description box below the video for the materials used. :)
Thanks for making this easy to follow. Love it!
Could copy paper be used instead of butcher paper?
Also, if removed carefully, could the design be re used?
I've personally only used the products recommended to ensure that I don't ruin my machine. If any ink gets on the inside of the machine, it will ruin it for future projects so I would recommend the butcher paper. The design can be reused, but the second time it is used it will not be as vibrant.
@@Bethadilly Thank you for your response.
Hi for the first mug you made could you use different colors for the flowers and green for stems and leaves. i like things colorful lol.
Beautiful work!! I just opened my mug press and your tutorial made me so glad that I went ahead and bought the pens. I'm off to listen to Tauren and create some mugs!!🥰🙏🏾
I’m getting serious FOMO from not having the mug press in the UK 😉
I have soooo many mug ideas I’d like to try - Thank you 😊 x
I noticed that you moved the rollers out of the way of the printed area. Good to not smear the ink or discolor the rollers. You’re super cool! Thank you!
Can I use pen/markers on top of infusible transfer sheets
I believe so.
Those mugs are really cute! I love them all but I think the heart is my favorite.
You explain everything so well. Can you show how to do names on the mugs???? New to this.

Cut the butcher paper shapes with the Cricut using just the template!
I have an important question to ask you...have you ever experienced any issues with your cricut machines with the alignment of your cutting? like if no matter what it cuts off center or the cut shifts?
I have not. If you’re experiencing this with print then cut projects, you can calibrate your machine to improve that. For regular cut projects, I’d recommend contacting Cricut if it’s not cutting properly.
CAn we use sublimation paper for this process?
Can you put text on other side of mug free hand ?
You would place the text on the paper to transfer over to the mug, but make sure you mirror your text so it transfers in the correct direction. :)
Superb design choices, Bethany.
On the heart mug how can you do it with a name in the middle of the heart?
How can I search for other images for this? For example anything Disney? I’m used to searching svg for shirts and tumblers. Not sure how to find images for the mug press...
I do spend some time demonstrating this in the tutorial, so be sure to rewatch the Design Space portions of this tutorial. I show how to find drawing files when making the first mug, and I also show how to covert cut files to drawing files when making the second mug.

Thank you
Thank you this territorial is awesome love how you showed everything you were doing.
infusible ink pens are really cool
Thanks so much. I'm wondering if you can draw directly on the mug and then do the pressing.
You cannot. The design is to be placed on the laser copy paper to be then transferred to the mug.
Can you do this with the Cricut mini press
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial!
Super cute!
I love this video i followed step by step! Cant wait to see my results!!
Thank you for doing this kind of video it really help newbie like me... 👍😊
You're so welcome!
can i use mugs from dollar tree ?
How can I erase errors on my mug? I messed up two mugs and hope not to waste them. Is it possible to erase?
Once the design is pressed to the mug, it is permanent.
Was just watching your reverse canvas video and this popped up! :) Yay!
Yay!! New videos are always a fun surprise! :)
