Spellbinders Woven 3D Embossing Folder E3D-080 — 5.5x8.5in basket-weave texture, deep dimensional impressions

The Spellbinders E3D-080 Woven 3D Embossing Folder, from the Spring Sampler Collection by Simon Hurley, is a 5.50 x 8.50-inch folder designed to add rich, three-dimensional woven texture to cardstock, patterned paper, vellum and more. Its intricate weave pattern mimics basket surfaces, making it an ideal layering element for handmade cards, scrapbook pages, tags, and mixed-media projects. For best results with heavy impressions, lightly mist cardstock before running it through a compatible Spellbinders Platinum machine using the Universal Plate System.

How does this folder create deep 3D texture?

The folder contains raised and recessed areas that sculpt paper into a pronounced woven pattern when pressure is applied. Unlike flat embossing folders, its 3D design shapes the paper for visible depth and shadow, producing a tactile finish that photographs well and adds dimension to projects.

• 3D mould-like construction for sculpted impressions
• Intricate basket-weave motif for realistic texture
• Works best when paper is lightly misted for deeper detail
• Compatible with Spellbinders Platinum machines and Universal Plate System

What sizes and materials will it work with?

This folder measures approximately 5.50 x 8.50 inches and accommodates a range of card sizes, from standard A2 (4.25 x 5.5 inches) up to slimline formats (3.5 x 8.5 inches). It performs well on various papers, offering different effects depending on weight and finish.

• Ideal for cardstock, patterned paper, and vellum
• Produces best results on medium-to-heavy weight cardstock
• Great for A2, slimline, and many custom sizes within the folder area
• Try specialty papers for subtle or dramatic texture differences

How do I use the folder with my Spellbinders machine?

Build a simple sandwich for consistent embossing: platform base (A) on the bottom, the folder with paper inside, then the adapter plate (D) on top. Roll the sandwich through your Spellbinders Platinum machine with the folder open end going in first to avoid snags and ensure an even impression.

• Platform Base (A) — bottom layer
• 3D Embossing Folder with paper inside — middle
• Adapter Plate (D) — top layer (required and sold separately)
• Use the PL-127 Universal Plate System with Platinum machines

Can I mix this folder with other designs from the collection?

Yes — the Woven 3D folder plays well with other Spring Sampler Collection elements, allowing you to layer textures and combine motifs for custom backgrounds or focal points. Combine with die cuts, inks, and paints to highlight raised areas and create professional-looking mixed-media pieces.

• Layer over stamped or ink-blended panels for depth
• Highlight raised areas with ink, foil, or dry brushing
• Combine with dies and trims from the Spring Sampler Collection
• Use as a background or a focal textured panel
