Welcome aboard jsraaf !

To answer your question, I would create my "cookie cutter" (trimming template) as a "custom shape"!

The next step involves "compositing" your individual images (blending 2 or more images into one) and there are many ways to do this. A "layer mask" generally works best. If you're unfamiliar with this method, a quick "google search" should result you in some pretty decent tutes!

Once you have your composite image completed, use your "custom shape" to trim it into shape.

This is but a "quick & dirty" explanation as to how I would go about your problem... and if you don't understand any part of my brief "synopsis", just say so! I have no idea what your level of experience is... :\
