Today I’m sharing with you these personalized coffee mugs with calligraphy. Who among you can’t function without their morning coffee? It’s the first thing I need in the morning or I’ll end up with a headache that will get worse as the day wears on. So when I was thinking of custom gifts, I instantly thought of giving calligraphy printed coffee mugs so that the recipients can drink their morning coffee in style.
One can never have too many coffee mugs, right?
I used Procreate on my iPad to write the names. If you’re curious to know what brushes I used, I have a nifty collection called the Happy Hands Project Brush Lettering Set which I will be launching soon on Creative Market (wink, wink!). I used the medium sized brush because it’s easier to weed once printed if it’s on the thicker side. I cleaned it up in Adobe Illustrator and saved it as an SVG file.
If you don’t have your own cutting machine (like a Cameo or Cricut), you can find someone in your area who can provide both the mug and printing service. I chose these matte Nordic style mugs in yellow and pink.
It was a very quick gift to make, and it turned out quite lovely. If I had more space in my kitchen, I’d make one calligraphy printed coffee mug for each member of the family.
Anyway, I will be announcing the launch of the Happy Hands Project Procreate brush set soon on Facebook and Instagram, so if you want first dibs, make sure you follow along!
