Lee,
I make 2 sizes of cards for the most part. One is 5 1/2 X 5 1/2 (5 1/2 X 11 cardstock)and the other is 5 1/2 X 4 1/4 (5 1/2 X 8 1/2 cardstock). Those are pretty standard I think. Looking at the picture of the card will tell you if it's a rectangle or square, so I would first choose one of the card bases. I like the layers to be tight and neat so I usually cut the DSP 1/4 " smaller than the base. I've never seen measurements actually posted but these 2 sizes will also fit standard envelopes as well. As Victoria said, if the card is a special shape or fold, they usually do give specifics. Good Luck.
