A multi-layer article comprised of a first and second layers bonded together. The first layer is comprised of two plies and a third material between the two plies. The two plies are bonded together at a plurality of discrete bond sites. The bonding of the plies form an interior region between the plies. The third material of the first layer is disposed between and substantially fills the interior region between the plies. The third material differs from the first and second plies by at least one material property selected from thermal properties, elongation properties, elastic properties, or conductive properties. The third material is apertured in regions coincident with the bond sites of the first layer and the first and second plies are joined to each other through the apertures. The second layer of the article comprises a cellulosic web.
