1. Open a new canvas,
150 X 150 pixels, or if you want to make a stationery strip,
make it the width of your top graphic or the height of your side
graphic. The strip will need to be either 1280 pixels wide for a
side border strip or 2000 pixels long for a top border strip.
Fill it with a color of your choosing or one picked from the
graphic with the eyedropper tool.
