I love these images! They have the cutest faces! I really like the mix of pattern papers on your card. I've never had figgy pudding but if it has icing on it, I'm sure to love it!

Suzana said...

Thank you for such a cute desert!

And I observed that I had no idea about fussy cutting.
Thank you for the tutorials, Beccy!

Best regards!

Oh come on we are now all singing "Now bring us some figgy pudding, Now bring us some figgy pudding". Of course, I've NEVER had figgy pudding because here in the America and especially in the south you've never tasted it. You always had pumpkin pie or pecan pie. Some of you girls remember on my blog that in the south we pronounce pecan pie like p-can. Not pa-con. [Bunny]

Adorable Beccy, I've never had figgy pudding but it must be yummy by the look on his cute face!

That is such a cute card design. Love the image used and the figgy pudding looks delicious!

Denise Bryant said...

Really cute image! Nice job with the fussy cutting!

Liz said...

Love this card, Beccy. The gingerbread man is so cute…. I hope it’s only the figgy pudding that gets eaten! xx

Donna said...

I've never had figgy pudding or just figs either. Are they similar to dates? It certainly looks yummy on your card. Of course the gingerbread man looks yummy too. A double does of yum!

FUN and FABULOUS card Beccy :)

LOVE your cute gingerbread man and delicious colouring, LOVE your pretty paper layers and burlap accent strip too!

Teresa said...

The gingerbread man and figgy pudding look good enough to eat. It looks like fondant frosting on it. My neighbor gave us a fruitcake one year with fondant frosting on it. This reminds me so much of it. I wonder if it actually was. I will have to ask her. It was delicious--I remember that!

I am obsessed with all things gingerbread this season! He's so cute! Love the plaid papers too!

terrie said...

What a perfectly made card everything goes so well together...well done Beccy.

NanaConnie said...

Oh, I'm loving the plaid papers you chose for this card, Beccy, and that darling little pudding maker is wonderfully cut! I'll take his kind of sugar and spice any day. :-D

Mandy said...

Beccy this is so cute. Love the mix of the 2 plaid papers and all the brown you used.

Your fussy cutting is so neat :)

Donna figs are just gorgeous. If you get really ripe ones they are juicy and succulent inside.

One word of warning though, don't eat them if you are vegetarian as a fig will only ripen if a female wasp has pollinated it. Unfortunately her wings drop off when she burrows inside and she cannot get out. The enzyme she produces is what ripens the fig. The wasp completely breaks down and you have no idea she has been in there, you don't find and insect or anything. A vegetarian friend told me and it sounded so far fetched I had to research it and it is actually true.... still very yummy though.

Traditional Christmas Pudding doesn't actually have figs in it though. There are other dried fruits in it like currants, raisins and sultanas but no figs or plums. I think it is one of those urban legend things that has evolved over hundreds of years

Great card and a beautiful picture. I have never eaten pudding for Christmas, let alone fig pudding. In Poland, it's just fruit cakes, poppy seed cake and cheesecakes. There are gingerbread cookies, not as smiling as yours, but home-baked.
