Just been checking out Pages, however even the sizes look mad on there.

Any good tutorials that can be followed anywhere?

Sorry to keep asking!

Just a thought here, especially considering all the problems you're having, maybe there's something goofy with the graphics you're trying to use????

Have you tried any different graphics or re-sized them to fit etc???

As for some tutorials, give this a try and checkout some of the likely hits:
Pages make a card tutorial
https://www.google.ca/search?client...F-8&gfe_rd=cr&dcr=0&ei=KJbLWs_OHcze8AfHk6yIDQ

Or even try modifying the search a bit such as:
Pages make a 5 x 7 foldover card tutorial
https://www.google.ca/search?safe=a.......0...1.1.64.psy-ab..0.0.0....0.vOJj-Junfks

Good luck.

In all cases when attempting to create and print such a project, it's best to just use cheaper letter paper, cut to size if needed, until you get everything sorted out so things print as you want.

Even if you use and set a custom page size, you can still just print to normal and cheaper letter stock.


EDIT:
I was going to suggest using Avery's free Design&Print.app but it keeps crashing on my iMac and I have to re-install it to get it to work.

Their iOS Avery Design&Print app seems to work better but I can't find any setting for Avery 5 x 7 fold-over stock, and gave up looking.

The OS X Design&Print version has a custom size option and provides the option for inside/outside printing so one doesn't have to rotate any text or images for a single print job.

Otherwise you may want to use two separate templates, one for front outer and the other for the inside on "2nd" fold-over side.

Yes, card printing can be a real PITA to get everything correct.
