How to create attractive embossed text for business card?

[smyl13]

Hi PS Gurus

I am not new with Photoshop but I have been using Photoshop CS2 for editing my photos but not very comfortable with creating designs.

I am trying to create my business card and I was trying to have card with embossed text like attached sample card (first image). But don't know how can I make it look that good and clean. My embossed text doesn't come close to what they have. Doesn't feel that attractive.

Is it possible using Photoshop CS 2 to create something like the sample card? If so, can someone give me exact steps to do so please.

Using bevel-emboss and inner shadow is what you'll need. For the sunken text helps to cut out the background around the letters and give that layer a bevel-emboss to get the white edges. There are no exact settings, it takes some experimentation to get it right.
