This paper dolls aesthetic set gathers nineteen little country animals dressed for a slow morning on the farm, each one buttoned into lace collars, linen pinafores and puff sleeves. Mice gather wildflowers, geese carry berry pies, and a sleepy lamb wraps up in a patchwork quilt, so there is a gentle character here for almost any card, gift tag or journal page you have in mind.
Print the full set on matte cardstock at actual size, then cut around each doll leaving a thin white edge so the outline stays crisp. Keep them flat in a card making box or let them anchor a junk journal spread, one soft cottage scene at a time.
Using these images: free for personal projects such as printing, coloring, cards, journals and gifts. Handmade items that include them may be sold up to 30 pieces per design.

In the Meadow
Soft and a little far away in her thoughts, this mouse wears a lace collar dress and carries a loose bunch of wildflowers picked on the walk home.
She sits well on a spring card for a friend who gardens, or tucked into the corner of a journal page about a quiet walk. Pair her with a short line about slowing down, and let the flowers do the rest of the talking.
Calm and upright in a linen pinafore over a simple blouse, this deer carries a woven basket of brown eggs, perfect for a farmhouse-style card or a journal page about the henhouse.
Delighted with himself and his find, this frog wears a wide straw hat and holds up a jar of honey like a small prize.
Mount him on a foam dot over a plain honey-gold background and he lifts right off the page. He also makes a sweet gift tag for a jar of homemade jam or honey given to a neighbor.
Giggling with her eyes nearly shut, this lamb wears a floral smock and holds a daisy chain draped between both front hooves, the kind of card that suits a birthday for a granddaughter.
Cottage Kitchen
Cosy and settled in a knitted cardigan, this badger holds a round loaf of bread fresh from the oven, warm and a little lopsided in his paws.
Write a short line about Sunday baking next to him, or pair him with the berry pie goose for a kitchen counter scene in a junk journal. He also works well as the anchor for a recipe card border.
Sassy and sure of herself, this cat wears a gingham dress and holds a teacup of mint tea with one paw on her hip, a good match for a cheeky birthday card for a sister or friend.
Proud of her baking, this goose wears a bonnet tied under her beak and carries a berry pie out in front of her like a trophy.
She fits naturally beside the bread loaf badger on a shared kitchen page, or on her own as a thank-you card for someone who just hosted a dinner. Try the five-minute version: print her small, cut around just the outline, and skip the fine detail of the pie crust.
Underground Finds
Wide-eyed and amazed, this mole wears a cottage apron and holds up a mushroom nearly as big as his own head, a funny addition to any woodland-themed junk journal spread.
Sleepy-eyed and slow-moving, this squirrel wraps a lace shawl around her shoulders and carries a lit candle in one paw, her tail curled behind her like a blanket.
She suits a quiet bedtime card or the last page of a cosy autumn journal spread. Try her paired with the lantern fawn for a soft nighttime scene across two facing pages.
Thrilled and wide awake for once, this dormouse wears a ruffled dress and holds up a single strawberry twice the size of her paw, lovely as a small gift tag tied onto a jar of jam.
Garden Chores
Caught mid-laugh with her beak wide open, this duck wears a puff sleeve dress and tips a small watering can just slightly too far, water splashing near her feet.
She makes a cheerful card for a gardener who takes herself a little too seriously, or a funny line for a journal page about a morning that did not go to plan. Cut her out and mount her on a craft stick for a quick party favor for a garden club meeting.
Content and unhurried, this bear wears an embroidered vest and holds a jar of jam up toward the light, a natural fit for a thank-you card after a visit with homemade preserves.
Shy and a little pink in the cheeks, this mouse wears a hat trimmed with pressed flowers and holds a folded letter closed with a wax seal.
She is a sweet choice for a card about a secret or a surprise, or the quiet centerpiece of a journal page built around old letters. Her other link in the set: check the cottage mice and pie baking geese set for more animals in this same gentle mood.
Evening Walk
Dreamy and unhurried under a crochet shawl, this fawn carries a small lantern in one hoof, its soft glow suggested with a warm gold patch of color against the paper white.
Smug and pleased with his own cleverness, this toad wears a linen waistcoat and holds a tied bouquet of garden herbs under one arm.
He pairs naturally with the honey jar frog for a two-doll card about country neighbors, or stands alone as a funny gift tag for a bundle of homegrown herbs. Readers who liked the woodland feel of this set might also enjoy the postmen and owl teachers in this printable templates collection.
Caught off guard with her eyes wide and ears up, this cat wears a floral apron and holds a basket of peaches that has clearly surprised her with its weight.
Quiet Evenings
Eyes half shut and completely content, this lamb wears a lace cap and sits wrapped snugly in a patchwork quilt pulled up to her chin.
She belongs on a get-well card or a cosy winter journal page, and sits well raised slightly on foam dots so the quilt seems to puff forward off the page. For more animals settling in for the season, see the winter paper dolls with cocoa mugs and tiny sleds.
Giggling over her work, this mouse wears a plain pinafore and sits with a needle in one paw, sewing a tiny dress far smaller than her own.
Delighted and a little breathless, this goose wears a straw bonnet and carries a basket piled high with cherries gathered from the orchard.
She makes a cheerful closing doll for the set, lovely on a summer card or tucked at the bottom of a journal page with a short note about a good harvest.

What to Do Next
Print the full set on matte cardstock, cut a few favorites first, and start with the berry pie goose or the wildflower mouse on your next handmade card.
Frequently Asked Questions
What paper works best for these paper dolls?
Matte cardstock in a medium weight works best, since it holds up to cutting and folding without flopping over. Avoid glossy photo paper, which resists glue and foam dots.
What printer settings give the sharpest cutout lines?
Print at actual size with borderless turned off and the highest quality photo or document setting selected. This keeps the fine outlines crisp instead of soft or slightly blurred around the edges.
How do I cut out the dolls neatly?
Use small detail scissors and cut slowly around the main outline first, leaving a thin white edge. Go back afterward for tight inner curves like ears, hooves and the handles of baskets.
How can I make the dolls stand up or pop off the page?
Fold a small paper tab and glue it to the back of the feet for a doll that stands on a shelf or journal tray. For cards, foam adhesive dots under the doll lift it slightly off a flat background.
Can I resize the dolls for smaller gift tags?
Yes, shrink any doll on a home printer or copier before cutting it out for a gift tag or envelope seal. Keep the proportions locked so the outfit details do not stretch or warp.
