I need some PS help (info only)

I bought these frames with mats already cut to exactly 4x6, so a 4x6 image falls right through.
I want to print these on a 5x7 with a border just shy of 1". I resized the image to 4.2x6.3 and made a white background layer of 5x7, but when I combine the two layers, the image transforms to the 5x7.
I know there is a simple step I am missing, but cannot figure it out (I am a Lightroom guy, not PS guy)

Could your bleed areas be affected? That could be a good starting point to look.

Not sure what you are talking about "bleed areas". Basically I need a 5x7 print that contains a white border of just under 1 inch.
I could just make it a 4x6 with an additional 1" white border (making its 5x7), but that would be calling it too close. Some of the white border may show.

The bleed area is extra print area allowing for you to cut, or in this case frame out, the image with no white showing. You have already taken care of that by adding your extra .2 and .3 to make sure no white border shows through the matte.
I do not think you need to flatten the image by putting it all in one layer. If your canvas size is 5x7 (layer 1) and your image size is 4.2x6.3 (layer 2) and it is centered within the canvas, you should have no problem just printing the file as is from Photoshop. This should leave you with the extra area you are looking for.

I am setting my background to 5x7 and just making it white. I made my image 4.2x6.3, but when I set one as the background to the other, the image it self goes to 5x7 (actually cropping the image from its original size to 5x7, it's not even resizing the image, it's cropping it).
I know this should be very simple, but what am I missing.
Image 1 - 5x7 white
Image 2 - 4.2x6.3 sizing of the image
Right click on image 1, set as background of image 2.
Click on image 2, ???

You shouldn't need to set the image as a background of layer 2. Just have a white background as literal layer 1 and your image on top as literal layer 2. Then print from there.
Layers are part of the beauty of photoshop. You must embrace the layers.

Ok, I figured it out. All I need to do is set image to size I want and then go to canvas size and set it to the remaining size needed.
Pretty simple.
If my image is 4.2x6.3, I set my canvas size to .8 and .7 inches. This will give me the 5x7 I need
