Step 1: Your graphics
Import the “Christmas Village” file consisting of 6 tabs into your regular graphics software. Each tab will form your village: Houses, roofs, trees. We have used white for houses, black for roofs and green for trees. However, you can change these hues depending on the colors of your table, of course.

Step 2: Parameters
We have used a Speedy 360 (80 W) for cutting 160-g paper. Place the paper into the machine, then use the following laser parameters:
Laser Settings
Kiss-cut: Power: 9% - Speed: 2% - Frequenzy: 1000 Hz -
Air Assist: ON - Z-Offset : 1.5
Cutting 1: Power: 9% - Speed: 2% - Frequency: 1000 Hz -
Air Assist: ON
Cutting 2: Power: 20% - Speed: 2% - Frequency: 1000 Hz -
Air Assist: ON

Step 3: Assembling the pieces
Once the paper is cut, remove the various parts from the working table and assemble them. For building a house, fold and glue the walls, then add the roof. To create the trees, simply insert the two parts.

Step 4: Tips & Tricks
- For optimal and precise focusing, we have used the ultrasonic technology of the Speedy 360.
- Use a black background to make the village shine
- To illuminate the interior of houses, place a small LED candle inside
- To make this setting magical, spray some artificial snow onto the rooftops once the village is set up… Effect guaranteed!
