Ive always used vistaprint for cards i have needed. If you sign up to their mailing list you get specials all the time. I find that normally i only have to pay for shipping and they have a ton of designs!!!!!

Just me... take the pic of the cake you currently have...center it, then give it some gradual fade, where it's still visible but shaded - and then take your potential business name, center it up at the top, the rest looks nice though.

I agree with newlywed....
I love the cake pic you have, but I would put it in the center with your name arched over it.

I don't think you need to fade the photo, but I do think that you don't really need the "need a cake? call me" line...

just your phone info on the bottom is fine....leaves you more space to write your name larger and it will be more visually pleasing.

I really like the idea of one of your own cakes (you have fabulous ones to choose from!), maybe with a "softening" effect or a "misty" effect. And, then your company name and phone number. Simple and elegant!

How about adding your email address? I sometimes have people that want to email me designs and ideas, so I've found it helpful.

great idea....instead of your name and phone# on the bottom....you could write your email address and phone #.....everyone already knows your name is DebiLou...

First of all icon_wink.gif GREAT that you are making your own cards!! I have made my own website (with help of my husband) and it gives a lot of satisfaction when it is finished.

I would also go for a photo of your own cake in the middle, makes it a bit more personal. And yeah drop the line of need a cake, i would just put your business name there of even your own name under it. Further the email address i would certainly add, it is a lot easier for people to email for information than to call. And if you are having a website of some kind of photo-album on the web you can also add that address.

Have fun with the designing and goodluck with your cakeselling!! thumbs_up.gif
