Here's Holly Berry Because You're Such a Sweet Girl

 

This card has a jointed doll with arms and legs that use brads to attach them to the head on the front.  It even includes brads! It reads "Here's a walking, running doll Whose name is Holly Berry- Sure hope she helps you have a day That's extra specially merry! Merry Christmas!" "Instructions: 1. Punch out all the pieces.

Insert second brand through hole in the bottom of robe, then through hole in the middle of legs.  Fold back brad prongs.  3. Now make Holly Berry Walk and move her arms." Gibson play card from 1974?

A walking doll for a special girl

 I bought a few of these not quite paper doll walking cards.  They punch out and have feet that rotate around like the doll is walking.  This is from Hallmark.  The front is signed Ginny.  Inside it reads "This cute little doll is coming your way. Delivering wishes for Christmas Day-- Just give her a push and she'll walk for you, She's yours to keep and play with, too! Merry Christmas! Have Fun!"  the instructions on the back of the card read "1. Tear off back panel of card. 2. Press out the foot-wheel; then press out the circular piece in its center. 3. 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. Push ht doll along a carpet surface to make her walk."

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!"
