I love the NBUS expression Darnell Knauss came up with- Never Before Used Schtuff- and have a pile of NBUS on my bed that I must play with before putting away. All the dies on this card are new as well as the cool embossing folder by We R Memory Keepers. Their new line of embossing folders has such great dimension taking efs to a whole new level, which is why they are called "Next Level" embossing folders. I embossed a kraft sheet of cardstock after cutting a window with a new die from Art Impressions. I sponged the window that was cut out with a distress ink and popped it back into the die opening. I attached a pretty scene on a Clear Views transparency from the back. I love how the window opens and closes! I added some vines cut with a new die from Poppy Stamps and a sympathy sentiment cut with a Cottage Cutz die.
I am entering this card into the Anything Goes challenge at 613 Avenue Create and Lil Patch of Crafty Friends.

What a creative way to display the scene just past the window! You are right - the new EF is a good one and I love how you popped out the window frame before embossing and put it back in afterwards - neat trick! We love that you share your designs & creativity at 613 Ave C – thank you!

Love that embossing folder for the "wall" texture! The transparency "view" from the window is a great idea.
Thank you for joining us at Li’l Patch of Crafty Friends for our challenge.
