You should be able to add your product cover image to your website, then link your product cover image back to your product on your Zazzle shop, make sure to add your affiliate referral link to the end of your  website link.
How to add your referral id  to a link on your own website (not on the forum): You might want to resize your website cover image  before you add it to your website page.

To Answer:

TO BE VERY CLEAR, YOU SHOULD ONLY USE THE MOCKUPS YOU HAVE CREATED FROM YOUR OWN PRODUCTS, DO NOT MISUNDERSTAND.

1. /The mockup you created using your own zazzle product should already have your design on it, after you uploaded the mockup you created from your own product to your Zazzle shop on your product. Download  your mockup (not someone else's)
2.Resize your product mockup, if  necessary, upload your product mockup to your website page, add a link to your zazzle product.
3.Check the link on your website to make sure it opens to your z product on your zazzle shop, when you click on it.

So to clarify:
Upload the mockup you created for your Zazzle product, to your Zazzle shop, whereever your Zazzle product is. Ex: your t-shirt, you created and uploaded your mockup onto your Zazzle shop..
Then, you should be able to d/oad your cover mockup image, size it correctly to use on your website, add your cover mockup (not someone else's) to your website page, add your link to your website t-shirt cover image that points to your Zazzle t-shirt on your Zazzle shop. When you add the link to your website cover image, add your affiliate id to the end of the link(per the help link I already included).
Once you have your resized cover image with link set up on your website page, the only thing you have to do is doublecheck to make sure that when you click on your website link, that your mockup cover link points to your product on Zazzle. It should open up to your Zazzle product that you linked to. That's it.

If you just want to link to your product:

Attention Mods—copyright issue re covers/mockups 
@Scott.  @James. @Roberta

Mods, the question was stated asking about using zazzle mock-ups, not specifically the person’s own mock-ups. Please clarify about mock-up usage on external websites.

regarding other creators using covers/mockups not owned or created by them and using them on their external websites—-please quickly CLARIFY specific usage,concerning  interpretation of agreement posted as the solution, in this thread….otherwise lots of creators will very probably be quickly removing their  covers/mockups enmasse.

@Patrick1 

in regard to section 8 of the user agreement—-this is what was posted as the solution to the question asked…
8. Non-Exclusive Limited License and Use of Zazzle Logos, Trademarks and Brand

Subject to the terms of this Associates Agreement and the Zazzle User Agreement, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, non-sublicensable right to use any of our (i) trade names, trademarks or any other intellectual property rights; or (ii) graphic images, text or any other of our images (including but not limited to images of your Products) for which we grant express permission (collectively, "Licensed Materials", solely for the purpose of identifying Your Site as a Program participant and to assist in generating Product sales. You are only entitled to use the Licensed Materials to the extent that you are a member, in good standing, of the Program, and you agree to comply with Zazzle's published trademark guidelines. We may revoke your license at any time by giving you written notice.

This is relevant—-(I bolded the key points)
we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable, non-sublicensable right to use any of our (i) trade names, trademarks or any other intellectual property rights; or (ii) graphic images, text or any other of OUR images (including but not limited to images of your Products) for which we grant express permission (collectively, "Licensed Materials", solely for the purpose of identifying Your Site as a Program participant and to assist in generating Product sales.

so, until the mods clarify further, please study this part of the agreement…
Permission to use….1. Zazzle’s images, 2. images of your own products, identifying and promoting your own shop/site.
the cover/mock-ups are created and uploaded to the individual creators shops by the creators. The copyright for those covers/mock-ups belong to that creator, not zazzle.
