Hello Ckeke; You can Trim a a offset rectangle from a rectangle. That would be a start.

it's just a rectangle, with distortion for create teh perspective, with drop shadow.
Hi Okeke,
It's all about the shadow of the cut-out and how it's attached to the original object.
1. No shadow and it looks like the cut-out is on the surface of the original object.
2. Shadow attached to original at some point. It looks like the cut-out is a new object. This is the normal view.
3. Floating cut-out as in your image. Shadow below object but not attached anywhere.
The construction of shadows is a very difficult and lengthy subject in perspective. You can get a start on it from the book "How to Cheat in Photoshop" by Steve Caplin. It can't be covered by a single post. You will have to look up tutorials or a book to get details on the subject.
Here are examples of the above.

Then I would add the shadow. As much as and as dark as you want.
