Push in the tabs on the back of the doll and lock them into the center of the foot-wheel. (The wheel should be between the front and back panels of the doll.) 5.

For a Special Granddaughter A Dress Up Barbie Paper Doll

 



   This holiday card features Barbie of Mattel fame.  She has four pages of clothing, all real Barbie outfits,  I was surprised, however, that she lacks the holiday dress that is pictured on the front of the card.  The front of the card and the doll are embossed. This is from Ambassador cards (owned by Hallmark) and is dated 1995. The inside of the card says "Barbie brought some outfits, And she's hoping what you'll do Is press out her clothes carefully and try them on her, too! Hope it's fun to dress her up In all her brand-new clothes, and hope you know, Granddaughter, That you're loved from head to toes!" "Happy Holidays with Love!" "Instructions: with scissors cut out rectangular doll stand along pink lines and fold in the middle. Press out Barbie along perforated lines. Stand Barbie upright by inserting her into slits of the stand. Press out clothes along perforated lines. Have fun!"
