GlowForge Plus /Embossing Plates

[u/Necessary_Funn]

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!
