Personalise a beautiful handmade mug that has a professional finish that's long-lasting! You'll be able to craft a motivational mug design in no time using Infusible Ink Transfer Sheets and the Cricut Mug Press.

You'll also need a Cricut machine on hand to cut your Infusible Ink Transfer Sheets. We've used the Cricut Maker 3, but the project can be made on any Cricut machine.
