I have plenty of corsages for sale, but not much moving at the moment, so aha! Heart shaped ones, duh!<\/p>\n<p>So to cut a long story short, you don&#8217;t want to hear about me pulling apart interfacing from felt, not recommended! This is what I have come up with!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"valentine_card_blog.jpg\" href=\"http:\/\/www.raspberry.co.uk\/?attachment_id=952\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-952\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.raspberry.co.uk\/wp-content\/images\/2008\/01\/valentine_card_blog.jpg\" alt=\"valentine_card_blog.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A double whammy, not just a lovely card, but a corsage\/brooch too!<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"brooch.jpg\" href=\"http:\/\/www.raspberry.co.uk\/?attachment_id=953\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-953\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.raspberry.co.uk\/wp-content\/images\/2008\/01\/brooch.jpg\" alt=\"brooch.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So the man in your life need not worry about getting a card and a present, he can do it in one hit!!
