I too use AE to make pages for my US and Canal Zone stamps. Several of my album page sets are already available on the AE website.
Frame sizes for any given stamp will vary, depending on the type of mounting one uses. For example, all of my frames are sized for the use of Scott/Prinz split-back mounts plus a 2-3mm clear space on all 4 sides of the mount. However, those using some other method of mounting (i.e. hinging) would need a different frame size. Please clarify which method(s) your frame size are designed to accommodate. Of course, if one has the free AE software, they can easily make any needed adjustments.

Bob,
Dimensions are width and height of the stamp (measured from edge of the perforations) in mm. You can add your preferred margin to get the frame size.

AlbumEasy has a command to adjust stamp box based their own preference for frame around stamp. If you share your source files, others can adjust the stamp box size without editing as many lines.

For those of you who have an interest in designing and printing your own stamp album pages, I have compiled a collection of stamp images and dimensions which you can use to design illustrated album pages. The images are for 2002 and later. I am offering these to Stamporama members at no charge. My only request is that you use Album Easy to design your pages and you contribute your completed designs to the Album Easy website. Send me a PM with the country and years you would like to work on and I will make the material available to you.
