I want to make a multi-layer picture frame where some text and images overhang into the photo frame area. What I ahve so far is the representative frame and center-part to cut out, with some text on the top and bottom. The text will be filled so it’s darkened and visible regardless if it is cut-out or on the top of the frame.
I was able to use the cut shapes tool thinking that would let me split the words in half and then do different things to each “side” of the split. However, if I were to cut out the outline of each then it would just cut off those bits when it cut the frame.
Can you suggest how I can make this work? I feel like I’m very close and just missing one key step.

      In that case:
1. You need to separate out the engraving operation from the frame shape
2. To get the frame shape as you want:
2a. Duplicate the 2023
2b. Group the inner and outer rectangles of the frame
2c. Group 2023
2d. Select frame
2e. Add 2023 to selection
2f. Tools->Boolean Union
3. With the remaining 2023 put that on a different layer set to Fill. Set fill settings for an engraving appropriately

End result should look something like this. I’ve pulled the 2023 fill away so that you can see the frame.
