The problem with suggesting cutting settings is that they are honestly different for everyone. And the cutting material will be different. If it is humid where you are, your paper will cut differently than if it is dry here. And the pressure/force will be different. Even though you have experience with a cutting machine, I would really encourage you to cut simple shapes and get used to how they cut and what force you need. Be sure your paper is well brayered down no matter what you are cutting. Once you successful can cut simple shapes on your paper/card stock, you can cut the detailed at the same pressure. You "may" have to cut down your speed depending on the detail and thickness of your material, but I have found that high speed is the way to go with even detailed designs.
Once you find your setting that works on that paper, keep a notebook or something to refer to so you know how to cut that paper. I refer to my notebook ALL of the time......
Please take your time and learn now to do the basics on your new machine. You will be much more successful much faster in the long run...... I think once you can do some simple shapes on whatever media you are using, you will have no trouble doing the other design. I would be happy to cut it, but my paper would be different than yours.... trial and error is really the best and taking it slow..........
