layers? again??!

yep, coincidentally, on the same week as the dreaded/awesome one layer challenge at SOS, it turns out that our brand new ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ prompt is "all bundled up" for which we'd like to see cards with at least three layers! go figure. so there's layery challenge goodness for both minimalists AND maximalists, woohoo! here's my take on the latter:

uber-cute santa tag: target; patterned paper and journal card: pebbles; bingo card: jenni bowlin digital kit, printed on kodak premium photo paper; tape: heidi swapp, october afternoon; black glossy cardstock: paper accents; corner rounder: we r memory keepers; adhesives: elmers brand gluetape, 3m foam tape

being a fan of layers, myself, this card was a lot faster for me to put together. also, it helped that i used all ready-made items, such as the cute sentiment and pre-printed bingo card. but my ace in the hole was the suuuuuuuuuper-cool santa, who started life as a gift tag, an entire package of which i acquired in the holiday giftwrap section of target in december (...for like... $3??) and then promptly forgot all about, until the box literally fell at my feet whilst i was looking for something else. sometimes the gods of crafting just smile upon us, eh?

another way the gods of crafting are both bountiful and generous is by providing a brand new fusion card challenge every few weeks. i only used the sketch half of this one, but i wouldn't rule out a second attempt that uses the cool flowery "pretty in pink" mood board, either:

meanwhile stephanie has a gorgeous card to show you at ♥JINGLE BELLES♥ so i'll let you hop over and check it out!
