It’s 9:00pm. We have officially finished up our valentines-for-classmates preparations. Things I’m thinking: 1) I have a lot of children. 2) Those children have a lot of classmates. It turns out Colorado has bigger class sizes than New York. It took me until Valentines Day to notice.
We used a clever idea I found on Kirtsy — via 24-7-365. I think they turned out great. We couldn’t get Betty to stop looking at her fist. And Oscar refused to wear anything red. But we rolled with it.
To those who are up late making stuff: I salute you with my exacto knife.

I wanted to do this with my 2o month old, I’m just having a terrible time getting her to hold her fist out! Darn. :( haha

These are great! How did you get the border/text down the side? I’ve tried Picnik and photoshop – can’t figure it out!

Can you tell me where I can find a tutorial on these 3d valentines? how is the picture taken so the arm looks 3d?
Thank you so much for this idea. I made these with my daughter and they turned out adorable! As a working mom who is also 8 months pregnant, I was so happy to do this quick, easy project that has such charm. Here is a picture (on Pinterest) http://pinterest.com/pin/198791771021734950/
Linda – in photoshop, create a new layer for the text. Add the text then go up to Edit -> Transform and you will select Rotate, then 90 degrees CCW. To get a background behind it, you may also want to use the rectangular select tool to create a layer behind it and fill it in with the paint bucket tool with the color you like. Good luck! Sandra – as long as your child’s arm is outstretched in the photo at a slight angle toward the camera, it will look 3D.

These have been a huge hit ’round these parts. Such a clever idea. The biggest challenge was getting Miss M to pose for the snapshot. Ours turned out with a charming smirk. (Not an unusual expression for her). Thank you for sharing this. Happy Valentine’s Day!
