I agree with Callynne - use the Avery paper. Also, if you have Microsoft Word, There are several business card Templates in the Templates Folder. All you do is select the template you like, put in your information, then it prints a full sheet of them (10, I think, per sheet). In my Mac version of MS Office, they're in the folder MS Office/Templates/Business Forms/Business Cards/xxxx

Bob,

MS Publisher has 50 different informational brochure designs that you can modify to your specific needs or you can start with a blank page and design your own.

You can probably find more designs on-line somewheres, but I have found the stock 50 are more than enough to choose from.

I use Overnight Prints for my cards, postcards, etc. I don't think it's possible to get a better quality card for their prices, even by printing them at home, considering prices of ink, paper, etc. My business cards are actually "postcard" size, have a photo of my work on the front and my bio on the back. Their paper stock is great quality, and the glossy finish looks very professional. 1000 postcards for $100 - can't beat that with a stick.

Wow! Some great suggestions. I have access to some computer programs so I'll have to give making my own a try. Once I think I got it, perhaps I will take the layout to a professional printer and do a volume order.
Based on the number of responses to this thread, it sounds like having a business card and/or brochure is needed if one wishes to get into the business side of carving.
The Vistaprint site was a great suggestion as I got the chance to try different formats and backgrounds without committing to purchasing.
Thanks for everyone's assistance.
Patrick
