    1. Hi David,
      At the moment, you may add the border using CSS class. For example, you may add your custom class to add the border (Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS):
      .add-border-style{
      border:1px solid #000;
      }

      Then add the name of your class add-border-style to any block under Additional CSS Class field
