For some inexplicable reason, this site does not load properly for me. It also has apparently eaten all my memory.
Edit: it works if you put it through archive.ph: https://archive.ph/ruSeX
And here’s the model collection: https://makerworld.com/en/collections/453534-business-card-e...

It would be interesting to try to have actual registration so that the embossed design can interact with the printed copy rather that just being an arbitrary background decoration.

The way I understand your comment is you could have a scene or objects printed on a card, then line up an embossed design over the print to create depth or imprint specific areas of the print creating various effects. That would be interesting

But can it do watermarks?

I like how they kept it simple and minimal. If you look into embossers, their form factor is quite different (more akin to a construction stapler).
I've been tinkering with a variation on the theme -- something that can emboss paper / cardboard / thin sheet metal. 3D printed dies work great, but it's some rabbit hole! Lots and lots to learn.
