Here are the basic layering dimensions that I use to have a 1/8" border all around the edges of the layers. These layers go from the outside - in.
Standard card front size: 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"
Layer 1 - 4" x 5-1/4"
Layer 2 - 3-3/4" x 5"
Layer 3 - 3-1/2" x 4-3/4"
When you use measurements to make layers, you basically just decrease each measurement, length and width, by 1/4". This will give you a 1/8" border around the edges.
Hope this helps.
