Elf On The Shelf Travel Stamps and Passport Cover

When I posted my Elf countdown stickers and quarantine kit last week, I noticed a lot of talk on social media and alternative views and ideas for Elf on the Shelf. This is a great recent Christmas tradition that many children world over adore. However not all! Also lots of families include travel themes into their Elves adventures. This gave me the idea of creating Elf on the shelf travel stamps and a passport.

These stamps show the cheeky elf in locations all over the world, visiting top locations, it’s a great way to engage little ones in geography, but also dodge elf on the shelf should you wish.

How Can These Elf Travel Stamps Be Used?

There are several ways you can use your Elf passport and travel stamps.

1. For children who are not fans of visiting elves, but you don’t want to ruin the magic for others! Let your Elf travel the world during December and send daily stamps and gifts through the post. This totally avoids having the Elf in your home and reassures your child they are in fact on the other side of the world.
2. The Elf can arrive on arrival day with a packed passport from their summer toy finding adventures.
3. Or indeed could have a friend Elf travelling the world who sends updates and stamps from their travels.

Which Printer Is Compatible with Cricut Print And Cut?

I use the HP Envy 5020 which works perfectly. It prints sticker vinyl, glossy sticker paper and magnetic paper perfectly. However isn’t able to feed thick sticker paper through, although I find some sticker papers a little too thick and prefer the Amazon glossy sticker paper as its thiner like labels.

How To Make Your Elf Passport

Simple use a small notebook and stick the passport front onto it.

Or buy an inexpensive passport, this one was £2.00 in Primark, cut paper to make pages and tie them with string.

Use a guillotine to cut each sticker out into squares, or free hand and cut around every sticker individually.
