I am currently just starting season eight after watching about half of season seven and I got to thinking...
Prior to the sisters faking their deaths at the end of season seven, the Elders sealed themselves off from the sisters in case they failed to stop Zankou, presumedly so Zankou couldn't get the book and Nexus and eventually make his way to Elderville to destroy them.
Was this the reason the Elders couldn't sense the Charmed Ones were still alive? They did appear to Victor in the house when they asked to take 'custody' of Wyatt and Chris. The Elders may not have been suspicious about the three cousins, as they claimed to be from Victor's side (I don't think the Elders would have known about Victor's family since they didn't even know about Paige). But weren't the Elders looking out for Wyatt and Chris? Would this have made them notice? Or did the Elders simply not lift the spell that sealed themselves off from them when they thought the sister died? Again, wouldn't the Elders have been aware that their spell was still in tact? Maybe they were just being their typically lazy selves...
Or was it the spell that the sisters cast that made the Elders not aware of them? Do the sisters even have that kind of power?
I know I have asked a lot of questions in this post but I genuinely would like to know what everyone thinks!

I think with most Elders being killed by the Titans, followed by Gideon trying to kill Wyatt and then Leo being conflicted all of season 7 joining the Avatar then later becoming mortal, all that weakened the Elders.
But again it did seem strange that some things which seemed beyond sisters powers, they suddenly could do it. Like Charmed Ones couldn't summon ghost Grams sometimes and when they could, it wasn't her solid form. Elders were the only one who gave a body to Patty for Piper's wedding. Yet later on ghosts with bodies became normal thing.
And fighting against Angel of Death by doing protection spells on one person which would stop Death from claiming all souls or even a spell to fool him by making every one on Earth look like Leo just a bit too much power for witches.
Explanation one is besides being magically connected to her sisters, Piper is connected to her magical son as well. This means a power boost to their spells to effect the Grand Design itself.
Explanation two is the more whitelighter Paige becomes, the more Charmed Ones are able to do things which seem beyond a witch's power but not an Elder or whitelighter's powers and abilities.
So I'm going to go with a combination of weak Elders, Paige's becoming more whitelighter and Wyatt for the glamor ruse working.
