When making DIY mugs, Infusible Ink is what you’re going to need to cut out on your Cricut machine, your Maker, your Explore, or your Joy machine. I am featuring the Joy machine in this mug tutorial.

The Slice Method is slicing out two designs from each other so there is no overlap between the two colors because infusible ink can’t be layered directly without the colors becoming blended.

Place your infusible ink on the green Cricut Joy mat and load your machine pressing the mat against the rollers. Press Go when Design Space prompts you.

Next, we need to weed the infusible ink. The best thing to do is just sort of roll a transfer sheet a little bit – this is technically known as cracking
