Hi Crafty Friends! Welcome to the PCC Design Team Blog Hop!
From May 15th - 21st, we’re celebrating PCC’s 11th Anniversary with a HUGE Birthday Sale - 50% OFF all designs and commercial licenses! Deal of the Day is also back, featuring a different bonus deal each day of the sale. Plus, PCCRewards Members will earn 2x points throughout the sale!
This blog hop is extra special for me because it’s my very first hop here on my blog! I’ve joined several hops on Instagram before, but this is my first time participating in one on my blog, and I’m so excited to be part of it.
For today’s project, I wanted to share something a little different from my usual paper and cardstock creations. I’m a sucker for love, and my wedding day is one of the best - if not the best - days of my life so far. Anything that celebrates love instantly gets me happy. Though I have to admit, I am not a fan of the dressing up and attending wedding receptions part (an introvert here!!) But what I truly love most is the meaning behind it all.
So today, I’ll be sharing a simple little hack for creating beautiful, personalized, and meaningful gifts for weddings, anniversaries, or even wedding souvenirs! I would have loved knowing how to make this when I was DIY-ing for my wedding!
For this project, I used the Mr. And Mrs. Design from Printable Cuttable Creatables and etched it onto the glass cover of this jewelry box. What started as a plain, boring jewelry box became something personalized and extra special!
Materials Needed
- Mr. And Mrs. Design file from Printable Cuttable Creatables
- Vinyl
- Transfer tape
- Weeding tool
- Armour Etch
- Paint brush
- Rag or cloth
- Water
- Jewelry box
Instructions
1. Open Cricut Design Space.2. Upload your Mr. And Mrs. Design.

4. Resize your design in Design Space.
6. Select both the rectangle and design layers. Click Slice.
7. Remove everything except the rectangle with the sliced-out design.
8. Cut the stencil on vinyl.
9. Weed the vinyl by removing the inside design pieces and leaving the rectangle stencil intact.
Transfer the vinyl onto transfer tape.
10. Clean the glass surface of the jewelry box, making sure there’s no dust or lint.
11. Attach the vinyl stencil onto the glass.
12. Remove the transfer tape carefully.
13. Apply a generous amount of etching cream, making sure the entire design area is covered and that the cream doesn’t spill outside the vinyl stencil.
14. Leave it on for 10 minutes.
15. Remove the excess cream and place it back into the etching cream jar - yes, you can reuse it! A small jar of etching cream can go a long way.
16. Since my jewelry box isn’t fully glass, I wiped away the remaining cream with a wet cloth instead of washing it.
17. Once all the cream is removed, carefully peel off the vinyl stencil. And tadaaaa! Your once plain jewelry box is now personalized and extra special!
You can use this technique on so many other glass surfaces too - mirrors, wine glasses, jars, windows, and more! Imagine all the beautiful personalized gifts and keepsakes you can create. You can also experiment with flowers, intricate borders, monograms, and other decorative elements.
