To make this easy to follow I’ll give directions on what to do with each of the frames (instead of telling you how to do it individually, layer by layer). And I’ll also give directions on what to do with each of the template shapes. Again, instead of telling you to highlight each layer, etc.

Crop your image.

Highlight your white background.
New Raster layer.
Copy and paste a paper of choice Into Selection.
Deselect.
Apply the mask.
Merge Group.
Use your Pick Tool and pull it out a bit on all sides.

Add your copyrights.
