Heart Tree Background Cookie Stencil

This pattern features a landscape of large trees with falling leaves resembling hearts. It has been thoughtfully designed in partnership with Julia Usher, to make your decorated cookies more beautiful than ever. We have unbundled it from Sweethearts Dynamic Duos Background Set. Great backdrop for Valentines, Engagement and Wedding cookies.

Stencil Highlights & Care Tips:

• DO NOT HEAT PLASTIC
• Cleaning Your Stencil: Gently clean with warm soapy water, taking care not to rip the thin bridges in the cookie stencil. Air dry flat.
• Storage: Make sure stencil is dry, then store in our Keep Safe Storage Album which will keep your stencils clean and damage free until their next use.

Cool Stenciling Tools and Tips:

• Start with a smoothly iced cookie. The flatter the icing, the flatter the stencil will sit on it. Set the background stencil on the cookie, and make sure it sits flush against the icing by using a Stencil Genie and/or small weights to hold it in place. If any areas of the stencil remain lifted, press down with a skewer while stenciling.
• Use a low air pressure setting (If airbrushing) and point nozzle directly down over stencil. Then apply coloring gradually to avoid “flooding”.
• You can use royal icing with this pattern as well, make sure you use a thicker consistency icing, and apply with offset spatula, then scrape in one fluid motion, in one direction using our stencil scrapers - or the Genie brand Icing Genie
• Need cutter ideas? Keep with the LOVE vibe of this design by using any of Julia Usher's Heart Shaped Cookie Cutters.
