Cutting Out Hearts for Valentine's Cards

Alrighty. With our handy-dandy scissors in hand we're ready to start cutting. Quick little work of caution though, make sure that your scissors are clean. It's very surprising how much debris and other gunk get in here. Now, these scissors will work just fine even with gunk in them for most cutting projects, but for these we want a nice, gentle line. We don't want any rags or rips in our paper so make sure your scissors are nice and clean, well-oiled cutting machine. Alrighty. Start at the bottom of the heart. Take your time here, doing very small cuts. Don't do big cuts because that gets sloppy. You don't want that for your Valentine's Day card. No, no, no. Nice, gentle cuts. I recommend, if you can, stay just inside the stitch marks that you've made. That way all you're going to have is pure red paper on here and you won't have to worry about doing any selective erasing of your stitch marks. We're going to go all around the top of this. Also, make sure that the paper stays stable. Every now and again when you're cutting the paper can tend to creep which means your cutting will be offset and your heart will not be symmetrical. Keep going all the way around here, especially at the top of the heart now, we really want to cut slow. Cause this is one of the areas that is easiest to goof up. Right when the angle is extreme as we're coming back around here at the top of our heart. Now you're in the home stretch. Keeps it going to the middle. Finish it up. And now remove the heart from your piece of paper. And with a nice fold we have a wonderful, symmetrical heart.
