How to make a Shutterfly Mug {Fathers Day}
I constantly have Shutterfly offers, free books, free mugs, free prints, etc and I usually forget about them and they expire. So here I am to show you how to make a Ceramic Mug, which would be a great gift for any occasion, including Father's Day, which is right around the corner.
Star here:
Log in or sign up for Shutterfly here.
Click on the Photo Gifts link and from there, Photo Mugs.
For this tutorial I am going with the ceramic mug option.
Choose the mug you want to create from the many different ones they have available.
The kids and I went through the options and choose the Photo Gallery Mug. I have a ton of pics from our recent trip to Georgia so I want to use a few of those for the mug. This particular Photo Gallery Mug can have up to 14 photos.
Once you choose your mug design, click on Personalize. There are 4 tabs along the side that let you choose your Options, Edges, Background, and Layout. Those tabs allow you to choose the mug size, colors, and add pictures, as well as a small area for text. You can pull photos from your Shutterfly, Facebook, or your computer. You can change the background color behind the pictures and pick the layout from 1 to 14 pictures. When you choose the photos you want to use there is an option to edit them. Click on the photo while it is in/on your mug and you can adjust the colors or add a filter.
Preview, Add to Cart, and Checkout. SIMPLE as that!
I think I have been putting off any personalized type of gifts because it can be time consuming, this process was very easy and honestly only took me 15 minutes, that includes the writing of this post too.
I have bought tons of print photos through Shutterfly and now am going to start taking advantage of all their sales and coupons codes they share on Facebook and their newsletter.

Happy Photoing!

I totally love Shutterfly! We've made calenders, coffee mugs...tons of cool things!
ReplyDeleteI love all of the great items you can personalize on Shutterfly! A mug would be perfect for my coffee loving husband!
ReplyDeleteWe also have made a ton of things through Shutterfly. We especially like using them for cards & invitations - they turn out so nicely!
ReplyDeleteThis would make a perfect gift to my husband on Father's Day. Thanks for the suggestion.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't thought of what to give my husband and my dad on Father's Day and it's coming really close. This is such a wonderful idea. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. This would be perfect for my hubby, he loves his coffees so it would suit him! Being in Canada though everything takes so long to get to us I wonder if I'd have time! - Jeanine
ReplyDeleteThey really are great for unique gifts! I sure love my mugs. Thanks for sharing this offer!
ReplyDeleteI love to make photo gifts!! Great tutorial and this sounds like a great Father's day gift.
ReplyDeleteThese are so neat! My dad would love one!
ReplyDeleteThese would be so much fun for all kinds of special events and people. What a great and personal gift they would be. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOh what a nice idea! I hope they make these in Manila, they'd make for wonderful presents for colleagues.
ReplyDeleteI've never used Shutterfly but do like the idea of mugs personalized with your own pictures. This would be a great gift for my Mom with a pic of her great grand baby!!
ReplyDeleteOh these are so cool! I made ornaments for Christmas and I love how they turned out. Might give this a try in the future.
ReplyDeleteI have had a Shutterfly account forever and never even thought of using it for this type of gift. Awesome idea and definitely a great way to create and keep a memory...
ReplyDeleteLove a great photo gift! I remember giving a lot of these photo gifts to my grandparents as a kid. But actually making it yourself makes it that more special.
ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea! I love mugs, and I ordered one shutterfly mug for a friend last year that came out really good. They make great gifts!
ReplyDeleteWith so many family photos digital now, this is a fantastic idea to share them with everyone! I'm going to have to set up a shutterfly account and give it a try! :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I remember we used to give our dad mugs all the time as kids. This would be such a great nostalgic but personal gift.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a great idea! My husband makes gifts for his parents on Shutterfly all the time but I always seem to forget.
ReplyDeleteCoffee mugs make great gifts. Kiddo has made homemade mugs and we've purchased some Marvel ones for him for fathers day. Never really thought about a photo mug. Have to keep this in mind for next year.
ReplyDeleteMy sister got me a Shutterfly mug ages ago and I still love it. I should make one for my husband. Great idea
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome gift! I think my husband would love something like this for work. What a great Father's Day gift.
ReplyDeleteSuch a great gift idea for Father's Day. I am going to have to keep these in mind for the holidays too, add a little hot cocoa with marshmallows, ribbon and a spoon and your all set. Great gift!
