Stamping on Mugs using Stampin Up Blends & Stamp Sets.

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.
