Template Tuesday - Pioneer Valentine Two!

Last year I made a Papercut Valentine based on a Pioneer one I had seen at the Daughter's of Utah Pioneer museum. This year I'm making one based on a handkerchief theme. For this papercut, feel free to put your own sentiment in it, everyone has a different message they want to share. I don't know what mine is going to say yet. I created this thinking it'd be really quick to cut out but boy was I wrong. So, take your time, if you're going to attempt it. I took kind of an assembly line approach to the whole thing by cutting the horizontal lines first and then the vertical - like for the boxes around the heart - I kind of made a perforated line around it and then cut out the perpendicular parts later. Does that make sense?

Here is what the template looks like. Notice it's a mirror image cut. If you don't want a line going down the middle of your heart, don't fold it and cut each piece out individually. If you do that, consider yourself a sado-masochist! But then again, people do crazy things for love!
