However, I want the thickness of the wall between the outside cut and the inside pocket to be exactly 1cm all around. How would I go about doing this? (to paraphrase what I am trying to do, I would like to create the outside cut, then cut a pocket that is 1cm inside the outside cut.)
The easiest way is to use either the Offsetter or Offsetter (v2) app. There are different ways to use the app, but it is pretty intuitive. You simply select the shape you want to to create an offset from and go to the app. Try it out and see it works for you.
The 1/4" bit would not cut out the top of the heart so i used a 1/16" bit to clear that area and also I have the top heart the same size as the bottom heart so using a 1/16" bit will make the top heart 1/32" smaller so it will fit when you put the top on.
Hope that makes sense

Yes the third page and the second page go together. The reason for the third page is the 1/4" bit wouldn’t cut the top of the heart where it makes a V. So I used a 1/16" bit to clear that.
After you cut the second page with the heart lid still secured to your table, set the Z height with the 1/16" bit and use the same home position and run the job
