Hi,

The Jpg file is a raster file and not vector file, so you cannot split it into it's shapes (more infos here : http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL/html/Introduction-VectorGraphics.html).

As you have to deal with your jpg "asis", your best option imho would be to draw white rectantgles with no border on top of it to "cover" the pattern. Your rectangles would fill the spaces between the cut & fold lines.

Regards
