Description

As you may know, Julia loves gardening almost as much as cookie-ing, so it should probably come as no surprise that she often draws inspiration from the outdoors when creating her stencil sets. In fact, this March 2022 Vintage Bulbs Dynamic Duos™ release is a perfect example of how Julia take cues from Mother Nature. Its background set was designed to look like a vintage botanical print complete with butterflies and a progression of growing spring bulbs that can be set atop weathered gardening notes. And the release’s messages, such as “in Full BLOOM” and “FLOWERS feed the SOUL”, certainly complement the overall design aesthetic. Taken together, these sets will allow you to create countless cookies, perfect for Easter, Mother’s Day, springtime birthdays, and garden parties. Though designed to fit Julia’s Theron Plaque cutter (a tribute to her generous and kind dad, and shown in the seventh through tenth images in the gallery), these sets also work well on almost any cutter.

Remember, all of Julia’s Dynamic Duos™ sets are designed in pairs: one set with the graphic elements (in this case, the water stains, script lettering, crocuses, and butterflies) and another set with the complementary messages and frames. As you can see in the gallery images, both sets can be used alone or together; they can also be purchased bundled or separately. The bundled price is listed here.
