Julia’s Kitchen Club

In September 2022, Julia’s Stencil of the Month Club was reincarnated as Julia’s Kitchen Club, and Julia couldn’t be more excited about the change! But why mess with an already excellent thing, you ask? Simply put, the redesign was in response to your requests for more product variety (i.e., cutters to go with Julia’s stencils), more time to experiment with Julia’s stencils, and more tips for using them to create beautiful results. Not ones to take feedback lightly, Julia and her stencil partner Confection Couture Stencils acted quickly to address all of your desires, and more!

Gingerbread Village Dynamic Duos Stencil Sets

With three styles of gingerbread houses, a tree, and multiple messages and frames, Julia’s Gingerbread Village Dynamic Duos™ sets, released in November 2021, will keep you busy the entire holiday season, mixing and matching to create new designs! Plus, the candy cane-striped landscape on the background stencil assures that these sets will make your Christmas extra sweet!

Fairbank Plaque Cookie Cutter

Julia’s love affair with gingerbread began at an early age whilst Christmas cookie-baking alongside her mom. But it wasn’t until much later in life, when Julia developed her signature Cutout Cookie Gingerbread recipe for her books, that the relationship truly blossomed. Named after Sorche Fairbank, the literary agent who took a chance on Julia’s first publications, the Fairbank Plaque is amply sized with subtly curved edges that frame Julia’s Gingerbread Village Dynamic Duos™ stencils and many other cookie designs just perfectly!

Reindeer Wrap Dynamic Duos Stencil Sets

Released in October 2021, Julia’s Reindeer Wrap Dynamic Duos™ stencil sets feature a playful two-layer reindeer pattern similar to ones that Julia has often admired on real gift wrap. Julia recommends using her Kerry’s Gift cookie cutter, a versatile side view of a gift, as it’s perfectly shaped to fit the two-loop bow in the background set of this release. But, even without this cutter, you’ll see that the added bows and gift tags in these sets make almost any cookie shape look like a specially wrapped Christmas present!
