I would be delighted if you would all join in and have some fun in making these little works of art. It is a great way to use your creativity in a small size. Use different techniques and styles, they make a great reference library to build up of different styles and techniques.
I've made a video tutorial which will hopefully give some ideas and get your creativity flowing and am really excited to start a swap/share that will hopefully span the globe.

Learn how to create beautiful DIY hand stamped mugs which can be regularly used and washed without images disappearing using Stampin Up Blends and stamp sets. Easy DIY project to make at home.
Make these pretty decorated mugs simply and easily.
Instructions.
Choose cheap thick mugs where the glaze is quite heavy and the mug is quite solid. These were bought from the local pound store.
Clean the mug thoroughly and dry. You can use Stazon cleaner to ensure there is no residue on the mug (bit like using the embossing buddy to make sure there is no static or finger marks)
Use Stazon ink and ensure stamp is well inked up.
Roll slowly with firm even pressure to ensure a clear transfer of image onto the mug.
Colour with Stampin Blends making sure you do not go over the black Stazon outline, as it will smear.
Allow to dry for minimum of 30 mins.
Place in a cold oven on a tray and turn oven to high. Once temperature has been reached cook for 30 minutes. Turn oven off and leave to cool before removing to stop cracking.
Wash mug with warm soapy water. Not dishwasher proof. The image will not wash off if care is taken not to scour or put in dishwasher.
I have made a step by step video tutorial for you to enjoy. Have a go and make some mugs for yourself, as gifts, craft fair ideas, fill with sweets and goodies for wedding favours, present giving and of course Christmas.
