How to Make "Concentric" Bezier Shapes?

Hi, is there a way to make 'concentric' bezier enclosed shapes?
I'm trying to make a heart-shaped picture frame, the basic shape is easy, but creating 'concentric' shapes in the sketch so that I can extrude the face of the frame, then the walls at a different height, then a base that fits in the rear.
Once I create the shape I need, is there a way to copy/duplicate it exactly but with different dimensions?
Hope this makes sense - basically I want to draw an enclosed bezier shape, then copy that shape 10mm larger.
thnx

Try offset face and move boundary.

I've been working with warped surfaces that makes my example more useful where a sweep just won't do. Just what I was thinking at the time.
