Next, I needed to subtract the top part of the text so that it is inverted from the business card, creating the text. Then, I added the dog's name. It's important to leave this for engraving. With that, you will be finished with your design.

For this, I used a black business card, but you can use any color you want. The settings should be very similar for all of them.

Now it's time to laser. If you haven't already, I recommend testing your business cards to find the best settings for cutting. These settings worked well for me. Also, don't forget your laser safety glasses.
