Mini Christmas Cards with Handmade Envelopes

I found some darling stickers at my local Joann's in the dollar bins.  I decided to make some small mini cards using my Spellbinders die cuts.  I folded my green and red card stock and let the die cut hang over the folded edge to create a small 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 inch card.  Mine open at the top.  I die cut a smaller label and embossed using the Snowflake embossing folder.  I also added a label inside so I can either stamp a Holiday greeting or hand write whatever I want.  I created square 3 x 3 inch envelopes using paper
I had leftover from my stash.  I added some photos of the steps to create  square cards.  I started with 8 pieces of the metallic card stock cut into 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inch squares.  I used my scoring board and my envelope piece to score at 2 1/2 inches all around.  I folded my scored piece using my bone folder.  
I then clipped the triangle pieces in each corner.  I folded my envelope, making sure everything looked nice.  I glued the edges using my glue stick
I decided to round the back flap using my rounder punch.
