layers…

If you participate in winter sports, you’re told over and over and over again to dress in layers.  It’s safer.  It’s smarter.  Plus it’s a great excuse to buy some cute layering clothes!  Well, we’re hoping old man winter has gone away for a while (though I hear he’s planning on making a short return trip this weekend)…but that doesn’t mean it’s time to stop layering!  If you happened to see the Making Memories blog yesterday, you were treated to a sweet layout by my very talented friend Laura – it features the Zootopia Slice Design Card and focused on the layering feature.  It just so happens that I was asked to share a bit of information about layering with the SLICE today!  I chose to use the Zootopia card also – fun coincidence!  If you are not familiar with the new “layering feature” available on some of the newer Slice design cards, it allows you to cut a shape and also a layering piece that is made to place on top of the shape.  Here’s a quick image of the shapes I cut out:

And here are the individual pieces after I layered them together:

After I layered my cute little animals…I used them on a few quick cards:

I also used stickers and rub-ons to add a few more little layers (can’t get enough) of interest to each card.

If you’re interested, here are a few more details.

So…what do you think about layering?  Fun, right?!?  I challenge YOU to use layering on your next project!

ETA:

**I used paper from the new Dilly Dally line by Making Memories (except for the pink polka-dot…it’s from the Jet A’dore line)

**I’ve had a few people ask me about the Zoo-topia design card.  Apparently, it’s a little bit hard to find…I found it at Scrapbook.com – you can click on the image to go to their site**
