Is the paw an image or vector drawing? And the text is normal text, not an image, correct?

Try putting everything on the same layer. If the outline is a cut duplicate it and put the duplicate on the fill layer and leave the original on the cut layer.

You can only apply a mask to an image file - jpg, png, bmp etc. You might have a vector file (svg?) which you can ungroup then remove parts you don’t want.
Look at your Cuts/Layers panel … does it show an image option/layer or two color layers. If it shows two color layers you can choose to not show or output the one you don’t want.

the text is just normal text. I converted the paw which was an svg to bmp and that still did not work. I am unsure what else to do. I have been working on this for hours and I feel it should be something simple
I figured it out thank you all so much! Newbie here trying to understand!
You almost never want to do that conversion. That degrades the quality of your image, particularly if you ever want to scale it up.
What did you come up with?
