One is the outer line. It is a tolerance around your flyer. The second one should be a dashed line, it is a cutting line, set it at A4 size or 210x297mm and 3 a safety line, your text logo elements etc should keep inside this line create it by use a Rectangle tool set it smaller than cutting line approximately 1-2mm from each border of cutting line To make it easier to adjust elements, create a new layer for each part, for this tutorial, there are five layers there are template, background, picture, text and decoration elements.
