Hi card making friends and welcome back. Today I have a New Card Making Video – 3D Embossing Folder Watercoloring Technique to share with you. I saw this beautiful card that my online friend Enna Adams created over on Instagram. she is @RitzyHag over there and worth following, she is an amazing artist. So I asked her if I could make a video with her technique and she said yes, YEAH!, and thank you Enna.
This technique creates the most beautiful cards with no experience necessary and you probably have all the supplies you need in your stash.
PLEASE NOTE: This post contains affiliate links. See below for my full disclosure.
You are seriously going to be blown away by the ease of this technique. Plus you only use three colors of Distress Ink Refills to attain all these beautiful colors.
I’m also using the Feb 2023 Spellbinders 3D Embossing Folder for today’s projects. Last month’s sold out in 3 days, so don’t wait on these. There are 8 card samples in all shared in the video, and I used to other embossing folders, 3D Leafy and 3D Beautiful Blooms, all from Spellbinders.

Finally, as you saw in the video, I grabbed a couple more embossing folders and kept on playing. It was so much fun I just couldn’t stop, LOL.
3D Embossing Folder Watercoloring – Batch #2
Next, we have the cards created with the Beautiful Blooms Embossing Folder.
Spellbinders Embossing Folders are very large, 5.5 x 8.5 to allow for all card sizes.
Therefore, by simply placing the watercolor panel in different parts of the embossing folders, you get a completely different look.
3D Embossing Folder Watercoloring – Batch #3
Next, we have the Spellbinders Leafy 3/D embossing Folder.
Finally, I pressed a little too hard with the VersaMark Ink for the gold embossing on these cards. But, it did make them look magical!
NOTE: In Enna’s instructions, she uses an Altenew Gold Ink pad for her cards. I don’t have one, which is why I went for the embossing.
I’ve created a downloadable PDF file for you with all the instructions, photo and supply list. You can save it in your computer or print it off to help you recreate the card.

OMGOSH 😱 Sandi,
Your technique is beyond fabulous and knocked right out of the ballpark into the Universe for all to enjoy! Being an embossing folder fan from the start, I’m definitely trying your technique! I may even sign up with Spellbinders EF Club thanks to you! It’s being featured on Papercraft Medley. Thank you for all your diligent work; you are appreciated.
thank you Peach, it’s definitely fun and the 3D embossing Folder of the month club is fabulous you will love it.
All are stunning! I do have a question I do not have reinkers so I was thinking if I just smoosed my ink pads
down on my surface and spritzed on some water and put my paper in it that might work??? I do have colorbursts not sure about thoes. Any ideas for me?
Oh my I need spell check sorry!
haha, no worries, happens to me all the time, LOL
Hi Delane. so yes it will work but the colors won’t be as vivid. reinkers are very concentrated, that’s how you get the deep beautiful colors.
You could mix some of your colorbursts with water, they are also highly concentrated, so you should be able to get some nice bright colors with them as long as you don’t add too much water.
Thank you I will see what I can come up with later….I have everything else!
These are so beautiful. Definitely frame-worthy. Thank you so much for taking the time to share this.
Thank you Amy, and thanks so much for watching
