I absolutely love the Cricut Mug Press because it’s so compact, but I also love how simple it is to produce a beautiful gift with it.

To layer any Infusible Ink, we need to perform the Slice Method. This is slicing out two designs from each other so there is no overlap between the two colors.

[{"selector":"#anim-a609a655-5281-4ea3-a49d-149440d962a9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e9dd4a4b-b362-4142-a530-2f3e88cfe6b4","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 413.48155%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Start by selecting the design and click that duplicate button at the top right. It is that your items are ungrouped, and only two layers are selected.

[{"selector":"#anim-852d52b7-d42f-40da-a7e3-79453d6c1f5f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9d0ce014-ccfb-477a-b55f-1952d09e921b","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -432.1482%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Then click the slice tool at the bottom of the layers panel with those two selected. Once the slice is complete, you can pull the layers apart.

[{"selector":"#anim-618b5d18-8485-453f-abb4-ca8cfda75750","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ea44465b-3d9e-4f18-82d2-0a3f7ff4bbb2","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 414.69765%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

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.
