Option to encrypt an XMR mnemonic seed: https://xmr.llcoins.net/ Download the html page and place it on your airgapped computer. Check the part "Encrypt/Decrypt Mnemonic Seed" and make sure you use "CN Add" with a decent password. Thanks manicminer5.
Now that you have everything you need, you are ready to send your XMR to your paper wallet. Simply send the coins to the wallet address you noted earlier. Make sure the address is correct, even if you copy-pasted it! Remember that if you send the coins to a wrong address, there is no way to have them back!
Because the Monero blockchain is private and untraceable, you won't be able to lookup your Monero Public Address and confirm that the funds have arrived like you might with Bitcoin. This is good for privacy, but bad for convenience.
To securely verify the funds have arrived at your wallet, you will need to setup a View Only wallet. This is where that view-key comes in. To create a view-onlywallet see the entry: [View Only Wallets]({{site.baseurl}}/resources/user-guides/view_only.html)
To verify the funds are *still in* your wallet and have not been spent you need to create a Cold Wallet with your mnemonic key (all your funds) on an airgapped computer with an up-to-date copy of the Monero Blockchain. When finished you will have to securely erase the wallet or connect it to the internet and it becomes a Hot Wallet.
