Mummyemma's idea - my interpretation. The single letters have been modified in Inkscape using the intersection method then tweaked in CR. Ungroup the word and group the letters individually then they can be moved around on the page to create the most amazing filigree patterns. The font I used was Black Rose ( found that thanks to Diana) which cuts really well. Use this as an overlay on a card or to cut the front of the card itself- think of the letters used individually as borders around your card or scrapbooking page or border each letter with a square and cut as a single decorative element - from little acorns oak trees grow! Keep the ideas coming.

Reason: uploaded wrong file <_<
Another experiment -
Yes - I do have a life but between jobs on the computer I like to play. This is simply a welded word, copy turn by 90°, copy turn by 90° etc, then line up the centres so they are nearly touching, draw a circle which touches all the words then select all, hit Path>Union and you have a whirlygig. I used 4 words - you could use more - maybe spell out a phrase then apply to front of card using a brad or as an unusual scrap-page title!

Reason: inserting photo of card
Here is a simple template to cut the word love with a couple of hearts attached. Long time since I have posted something so hope I have attached it ok ....
Here is the start of my Hubby’s valentine. The car is cut out of light weight paper, mounted on card stock. I am not happy with the white background. I can't seem to get the bugs worked out. First I lost the file and had to rebuild it. Now it won't cut right. I am sick of working on the same project...so you only get the car.
This is from a dingbat in KRValintineDings2. I thought it would make a cute card.
