The  Cuttlebug can be used to embossed the cut-out of the paper piecing 's.

Description: Heat Gun

A heat gun is a device used to emit a stream of hot air, which an be held by hand. I use Versamark ink or Big Emboss IT Clear from Ranger and stamp the image onto white or any color card-stock. Add embossing powder over the image and shake off the excess powder. Heat set the embossing powder using your Chiswick heat gun, or any other that your prefer. 

This I use on my Paper Piecing's or if I want to stamp and color my images.

MY CUTTING BABY 

I LOVE my KNK  Maxx Air 24"  DIGITAL DIE CUTTER! !! It's the most awesome machine My wonderful HUBBY could have ever bought for me.

The Klic-N-Kuts are top-of-the line digital die cutters  These machines can cut everything from vinyl to rhinestone rubber, from paper to chipboard, from thin cotton fabric to stiffened felt. Each machine comes with Make The Cut! or KNK. Studio.  

This is what I use to Cut out all my paper piecing's, but surly any kind of your favorite DIGITAL  die cutter can do just as great Job

Something else I love about this technique is that I can use all those little piece left over from other project,, that otherwise would be thrown out.
