Need envelope size in for printing in Address Book

I just received in the mail the Christmas cards I designed in iphoto...they look great! I want to use Address Book to print the name and addresses of the recipients (as well as my return name/address)on the envelopes that came with the cards. The envelopes are 7.25 inches x 5.25 inches (for a 7x5 card...pretty standard), but I can't find these dimesions in the the drop-down envelope printing menu in Address Book. Any ideas? I guess I could set up a custom envelope but need to calculate the dimensions for the recipients as well as the return address. I assumed that iphoto cards/envelopes would match a printing option in Address Book...am I crazy?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.4)

I measured the envelope and used these dimensions. Seems to work pretty well.

envelope size:
width: 7.125 (inches)
height: 5.25

recipient:
top: 0.4
left: 0.4
width: 2.0
height: 1.0

sender:
top: 2
width: 3
left: 2.5
height: 2

Last, change the orientation to the option on the right (there are two options for orientation--one button/icon on the left & one on the right).

As a reminder, these dimensions worked with the envelopes that come from ordering cards through iPhoto as of December 2009.
