Start with your shape on a new layer. Try experimenting with a shape of your own.
I drew this with the polygon lasso tool an filled it with green.
Make a selection around your object. Ctrl/Cmd+Click on the layer Thumbnail.
select>modify>contract.
I chose 10 pixels
Your selection is now contracted.
Now to make the groove.
Select>modify>Border
I chose 5 pixels
You should see the double selection now.
Press the delete/backspace key to erase the object on the selection.
Deselect
Now to add the bevel:
Add the layer styles (press the little f on the bottom of the layers palette.)
Choose the inner bevel option
*Optional: add a drop shadow too.
And the shape is now bevelled!
If you want you can add some text, select it, switch to the object layer and hit del/backspace to chisel out some text.
