Betsy Veldman did this weeks Make It Monday video on making partial die cuts. I decided to use the first Framed Out die to create a gatefold card. Creating the die cut was fairly simple, I chose the method of rolling my die part way in and then back out. I love Stampers Select cardstock, but as many of you know it isn't the easiest to fold or have it stay flat. I ended up putting some removable tape behind the die cut to keep my card closed, it shouldn't interfere with it when given to the recipient.

Cardstock: White, Hawaiian Shores
Stamps: Frame Out #1, Think Big Favorites #13
