is there a tool that cuts and embosses this ribbon at the same time? i've had a look at one from wilton but i don't think it does the same type of embossing in the pic
is this the right tool?

that tool is smaller it does the same thing but not near like that , i am not sure what to use. sorry
I have one and I've used it for my Wilton class, which was a while back - but you can go to the Wilton website and check out some pics...
This is what it looks like:
http://www.wilton.com/store/site/product.cfm?id=BA23EDC2-802D-F658-0457DE1C665B1CA4&fid=D765FA80-1E0B-C910-EA0046AD375C41A8
yes thats the other one i managed to find. i don't think it does the type of embossing that i wanted (like a little track of indents). the one from kitchenkraft link is also wilton, but it only cuts/embosses one line at a time. i thought maybe there was a cutter out there that could just make the ribbon i wanted all in 1 go.
For the same type of embossing, you need something like the perforating blade for rotary cutters - see here http://www.crafterspaperandsupply.com/39rotaryhandcutter.htm (scroll down)
To make such pattern, it has to look something like that - http://www.ksprintingmachinery.com/catalog/popup_image.php/pID/146 - this is printing machine part, not the blade. I couldn't find good picture of the blade itself.
Now and then I play with the idea to buy it for myself. But till now I am content with plain point tracing wheel from sewing supplies - you can buy different sizes and they make different patterns.
My guess is this one: Windsor tools Boxed Ribbon Cutter

I have it and it makes very nice and beautiful ribbons.
You can find it on ebay too.
I have used the one from Wilton and that is not what is used in the photo. It looks to be done in a template or some kind of a (wheel impression maker?) best way to describe 
Whatever it is it looks like a pretty neat tool to have around.
i managed to find other ones by FMM - the multi ribbon cutter, and PME
can someone tell me which brand makes small stitch marks?
e.g. in these photos you can see the different sized stitch tools used on the elephants

I have that embosser set in website...and it does not have anything that looks like that
I agree with majka_ze, that looks more like it....maybe a craft tool for clay would have something like that??
i think i can help you but that first link you posted deos not work?
sorry, the link doesn't work anymore.
different link but same pic:

i think the tool you ned is the PME mutli ribbon cutter
its cuts the strip and adss the indents at the same time. this cutter will also make staright cuts with no stitching and a rick rack design, by interchanging the wheels.

The small stitch marks were probably made with a regular pattern tracing wheel from the sewing department. Only costs about a dollar...I used it on one of the cakes in my photos, it's a naughty cake so I won't post the link here but it's the one with the white shirt.
I agree with Sugarshack and CakesbyLJ, If you are looking for something that cuts the ribbon and adds the stitching at the same time, I would use the multi ribbon cutter. The only thing I don't like about mine is that the plastic wheels are not as nice and sharp as I would like them to be, so the don't always give me as clean of a looking cut as I would like. Using a pizza cutter and then a stitching tool can give the same effect, but just takes a little longer.
I have used this one to get that same mark as you have in the cupcake.
