How can I get embossed previews and/or 3D text effects for business cards and logos?

[HTwebservices]

Hi, I have noticed that some people are able to produce previews of their logo designs on business cards, stationary, and the like. How do they do that? Is it using a different program, or is it using Photoshop or Illustrator? I currently have Adobe Master Suite CS 5.5 installed on my system and I'm transitioning from Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8.1 (which I LOVE). I've attached 2 pictures to show what I mean about what I'd like to be able to do:



This would be really helpful in getting started with my logo designs, as I sometimes have great designs, but I don't know how to display them this way. Would really appreciate some help. Thanks much!
