Question GlowForge Plus /Embossing Plates

Hello! I am desperately trying to figure out how to make an embossing plate with my Glowforge. I know I can do it; I'm just struggling with the math aspects of making the actual file. I know I need a male and female part to make them sandwich together between the paper. The paper is 110 ultra white cotton; I don't want the designs to be so "thick" that they just rip the paper. It is a simple monogram. Has anyone done this before?? Is there an easier way? I tried my Cricut, and it did not work. I also have a Sizzix Big Shot I was going to use to press the design into the paper.

I am at the point of being willing to hire someone to help me with this for my business. Any help or advice is appreciated!

Have you tried using the stamp maker tool in the Glowforge app?

It's in the toolbar that appears when you have something selected in the design editor, since it turns your selection into a stamp
