Valentines Print And Cut Cards With The xTool M1
I love the print and cut feature on the XTool M1. Don’t worry I am going to create a step by step tutorial very soon. However, its all in the settings and super easy to do.

These are so fantastic. I’ve been looking at the xtool, hope to maybe get one. I love your site & am so glad I found you. Thank you for all the things your share.
Ah Victoria you are so welcome I have loved the xTool so far!
Hi Sarah,
I just love your site and am extremely grateful for all that you share with us crafters. I live in South Africa, and with the exchange rate, well things are just so expensive.
I have been reading your review on the laser cutter, and wow, I would love, love, love to own one (maybe one day)…. Here they cost R51000.00 – so unaffordable for the average person, but we can dream…
Kind regards from a very hot Durban, South Africa…
