This set of christmas paper dolls free printable pages gives you twenty four lively ladies in the thick of holiday chaos, from burnt gingerbread to tangled lights. Each one prints on her own sheet and is ready to cut out for handmade cards, gift tags or a junk journal spread that needs a laugh.
Print on matte cardstock at actual size, and leave a thin white edge around each doll when you cut so the line stays crisp and easy to follow.

Christmas Kitchen
Round and rosy-cheeked in her reindeer sweater, this lady is overjoyed as she holds up a plate piled high with frosted cookies, fresh from the oven and clearly her proudest moment of the season.
holding a blackened tray of gingerbread, this flustered lady with a white bun and a plaid apron looks mortified that her baking has gone wrong right before the guests arrive.
Smug and satisfied, a woman in a plaid skirt and cardigan carries out a golden, perfectly roasted turkey on a platter, chin lifted as if daring anyone to find fault with it.
This one makes a fun card for the family cook who always gets dinner right, paired with a line about who really deserves the credit for the holiday feast this year.
beaming with pride, this lady in a gingham apron holds a finished gingerbread house covered in candy, overjoyed that every wall stayed standing this year.
proud as can be, a woman in a festive apron holds out an open tin of homemade fudge, cut into neat squares and ready to be admired by everyone at the table.
Decorating Chaos
wrapped head to toe in a string of lit Christmas lights, this shocked lady in a Santa hat and pearls clearly meant to hang them on the tree instead of herself. Her hands are still half raised in surprise, and the cord loops around her shoulders like an accidental garland, which makes her a favorite for a card that teases a friend who always gets into a tangle this time of year.
Mount her on a foam dot over a plain red card front and the light strand pops forward just enough to catch the eye.
laughing despite herself, a woman in a holly print blouse has gotten thoroughly wound up in her own spool of curling ribbon while wrapping gifts at the kitchen table.
grumpy and unimpressed, this lady in a snowflake sweater holds up a hopeless knot of tinsel, clearly done fighting with the decorations for one evening.
mid panic in a quilted coat, this lady is juggling five wrapped presents at once, clearly one package away from dropping the whole armful on the porch.
She works well on a gift tag for the friend who always wraps everything the night before, and she pairs nicely with the shopping bag lady from this same set for a card about last minute Christmas errands.
Holiday Mischief
sassy and a little wicked, a woman in a velvet dress holds a sprig of mistletoe above her own head, clearly amused by her own joke before anyone else catches on.
sneaking a nibble from a candy cane she was supposed to be hanging on the tree, this lady in a candy cane striped dress has a look of pure mischief on her face.
holding a glass of eggnog with a sassy little smirk, this lady in a fur stole has clearly had one glass more than planned and does not mind one bit.
proud and upright, a woman in a reindeer antler headband carries a dense fruitcake with both hands, treating it like the finest dish on the whole dessert table.
Cozy Mornings
still half asleep, a lady in curlers and a quilted robe cradles her coffee cup on Christmas morning, clearly not ready to face the unwrapping just yet.
sleepy-eyed in a long flannel robe, this lady holds up a stocking stuffed with candy, peeking inside with a tired but contented smile on Christmas morning.
She would sit beautifully at the top of a junk journal spread about quiet family mornings, tucked next to a line about the best part of the holiday being nobody rushing anywhere. Give her a craft stick behind the back for a little pop-up stand on a shelf display.
laughing at her own handiwork, a woman in a knitted hat holds up a homemade sweater with one sleeve clearly longer than the other, proud of it anyway.
amazed by the tiny scene inside, a woman in a velvet bow headband holds a snow globe up to the light, watching the glitter settle with wide delighted eyes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What paper works best for printing these paper dolls?
Matte cardstock around 65 to 110 lb gives the cleanest result. It holds ink crisply without curling, cuts cleanly with small scissors, and feels sturdy enough to stand up on a shelf or clip to a card front.
What printer settings should you use?
Print at actual size or 100 percent, never fit to page, so the doll matches the sheet size intended. Choose the best or photo quality setting on plain or matte paper for the sharpest lines and richest color.
How do you cut out the dolls neatly?
Cut slowly around the outer line, leaving a thin white edge rather than slicing right up to the color. Small detail scissors handle curves well, while a craft knife helps with tight inner corners like between fingers or ribbon loops.
How can you make the dolls stand up or pop off the page?
Fold a small tab at the back of the feet and glue it flat to a base for a standing doll. For cards, raise the whole figure with foam adhesive dots so she lifts slightly off the page.
Can these be used for more than cards?
Yes, they work well as gift tags, bookmarks, and anchors for a junk journal spread about the holiday season. Glue one into a journal pocket or clip her to the outside of a wrapped present.
