Needless to say, we aren’t doing an Elf on the Shelf project, but Sarah and Adam do one with Caleb. When I saw what Nicole Heady did with the Holiday Pin-ups kit, I asked Sarah if she were interested in anything similar. I started with the card. Sarah asked that I make it possible to change the notes each day, so there’s both an outside and inside.
Sarah’s intention was to put a piece of velcro on the elf so they could stick it up somewhere. I used Papertrey’s Pure Poppy and White patterned paper for the background, and added stamps from Postmarks and City Scene Sentiments (all PTI). The little elf was pre-printed in the Holiday Pin-ups kit and the pieces only had to be die cut and glued to the clothespin.
I used a new Reverse Confetti “Gift Card Holder Tag” to die cut the slit for the cards and the cute little banner. Sarah has a set of 25 cards she can slide in and out of the slot.
While I was at it, I made three other clothespin cuties. They’ll probably go on Christmas packages for the grandchildren.
This has to be one of the most fun projects I’ve put together this year.
Oh I do like these Elf on The Shelf notes you have created & I really like the idea that the Elf will leave notes for the children. Your clothes pegs are better than any I’ve seen in the stores.
Oh my, very high in the cuteness stakes! You are so creative … I bet these will be a huge hit.
Totally cute!
How FUN! Those clothes pins are cute!!
They are really cute! We hadn’t heard of the Elf when my two were little. I’m pretty sure I would have joined in!
Great idea….and very cute.
Lovely idea!
Fun indeed! All of the clothespins for the cards, etc…I bought the bébé an elf last year…and it was fun having it around before I sent him to his new home…missing him this year [smile].
Cheers~
