I have a little fun and make my own, either using a card maker program or directly from a photo.

There is a site that will let you design cards (and a whole lot more also). Check out Zazzle.com

Hey Hal,
Check out www.vistaprint.com. You can get 250 business cards free, just pay shipping. About $6.00 last time I ordered. They have a small ad on the back for vistaprint. Or you can order the premium cards without the advertisment. They also carry caps, t-shirts, signs etc. They are reasonably priced.

Randy

I agree with Randy, you can't beat Vista Print. Great prices and lots of options.

I've had good results with Zazzle, myself. Mine were odd-sized, double-sided, and inexpensive. Cards delivered in about a week's time. A fraction of the cost of one of those big-box printing houses.

I bought a package of print-your-own at Walmart....might be Avery. Pretty cheap, especially for an amateur carver like myself who doesn't hand out many. I can't change the fonts as much as I would like, but the program lays out a page with 10 cards to a page and it let's you put a different photo on each card. So I put pictures of different carvings I've did on each card, so that they are all different....kinda like baseball cards!

I picked up a cheap program at Wal Mart a couple of years ago called "Print Workshop 2008" with this I designed my own card and then bought the blank cards from Avery lables and printed my own.

One thing I liked about Vista Print, after you order they will send emails with special deals, 100 free buss. cards, letter head, adress labels etc. All you pay is shipping.
