Hi Lori!

To resize a .png frame:

Get the Move tool and drag the digital frame onto your card document.
Select the Frame layer and press Cmd + T.
Move your cursor to the corner of the frame. Hold the Shift key as you click and drag the corner toward the center of the frame to make it smaller.
Holding the Shift key will maintain the aspect ratio so you don't get distortion.

To account for the bleed:

Select View > Rulers.
Position your cursor over the ruler on the left and click/drag toward your document.
A guide will follow your cursor. Position that guide .25 inches from the left side of the page. Repeat to make the guide for the right side.
Position your cursor over the ruler on the top. Click/drag downward toward your document to create the horizontal guides.
These guides do not show up when you save/print.
You can select View > Clear Guides to remove them.
