Borders-How to make them "outside" borders

I have several layers applied to a blank white 8×10 sheet. I wish to make a border around one of the layers so that after I print the sheet, I can find the edges of the layer for cutting.. (The background of the layer, as
well as the background for the 8×10 sheet are both white so I feel a little
border OUTSIDE the mostly white layer would make it easy to find its edges.)

Sure, I could make the 8×10 background a different color, but that would take more expensive ink than I’d like.

I can’t find any way to specify the border as being of the "outside" variety. What I end up with when I apply a border is half inside the layer, and half outside.

Thanks for any help on this.

As far as I am aware, all layers are the same size as the Document itself, in this case 8×10!
If you are thinking of adding a border to an object or image on a layer,

need to select the image and then apply a stroke of to the selection, when you can select inside, outside, or on the line of the selection, is this what you mean?

Have a look under EDIT -> STROKE.

Thanks to both of you. My problem is solved.
