I make them all the time, both front/inside, and back. What is it that you are trying to make, both or just the front/inside, or back?
If it’s the back cover, then you just measure the size of the back of the jewel case. I just measured one, and it’s close to being
5.45 inches wide by 4.67 inches high. You need to add 1/4 of an inch
(.25 inch) to each side of the width to allow for the spine of the label. That means that the back cover with the spines would be 5.45 inches wide plus .50 inches for the spines, to total 5.95 inches for the width.
What I do is to create a new document that’s 5.45 inches wide, and add my picture/text to that. Once I’ve created that, I resize the canvas and add .25 inch to each side. With this added size, I then add text to the .25 inch on each of the edges. I then fold the .25 inch on the edges so that they will fit the spine of the jewel box.
