that's really similar to how I make mine, except I use de-foiled backs. I use modern cards just for ease of access, but to be kinda authentic you could use Urza block foils. I foil peel the cards, and then glue on my printed faces. I'm currently printing on 15 lb paper, which is super thin, but not thin enough. I'm about to try dissolving paper so I can basically silk screen the ink straight onto the card. I'm aligning cardstock and printed paper using a 3-d printed card positioner I made, which is basically a frame that fits over the printed paper and allows me to drop the card on with perfect accuracy.

Please, for your sanity, watch this video. It gives multiple tests that will help you better distinguish between real and fake cards.

Buy this or an equivalent. For ~$10 you'll save yourself a lot of grief and heartache.
There are a few things to consider. First, the guillotine seems great but it isn't very accurate and requires more work than you think (the repetition). Fiskars 12 Inch Recycled SureCut Trimmer (01-005454) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003SLC3IU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_0n9CAbS90N938 This option is cheaper and more accurate. The blade is also easily replaceable. Don't do more than 1 sheet at a time. Can it be done? (Yes) But will it always off by a little? (Yes)
I have made extensive use of card stock terrain and have learned. There is also the high end option of purchasing a cutting machine but that is $100+ to get started.
These are the cheapest I can find the sleeves: https://www.amazon.com/Hyper-Matte-Sleeves-80-Pack-Black/dp/B00CJ7415M it sounds like you already have the perfect fits.

I'm not sure if they'll have all the cards you need but hopefully its a start.
Don't be too nervous about your cards either. Most people don't pull out your cards while they read them, and with the two sleeves I doubt anyone will notice anything strange.
I use these https://www.amazon.com/BCW-Brand-Sleeves-Penny-Sealed/dp/B005LJX3X6 then slide these in eclipse matte with in the black so the borders blend in.
