So, for Valentine cards for her class we selected a paper doll and made cards with them. We did this instead of attaching a candy to the Valentine. The doll we selected for the girls found here and boys found here. Another place we checked was About.com: Family Crafts where there's links to all kinds of free paper doll printables.
After printing the dolls on card stock, my daughter cut out heart shapes from felt and sewed them on using a button. For the boys, we selected a football paper doll and she cut-out and sewed a felt monster on the front with two buttons. Aren't they darling?
Babalisme has some amazing printables on her blog that she's created. Make sure to check out her Printables to Print section under labels and pepare to be amazed.

A friend of mine was looking for a Wonder Woman paper doll for her daughter. I haven't found anything for her yet, but found more free printable paper doll links here.
Enjoy! Sarah

Cute cards! Aren't they fun! I've got many scattered throughout my blog, and more saved to my computer. I did the magnetized paper dolls which are nice for traveling with them. I found a little metal tray at the dollar store for them - easy an inexpensive fun.
