I got my business cards from http://www.vistaprint.com.

I really just give them out to people who ask when when I take a cake, so I did the 'free' ones and all I had to pay for was shipping and handling. But next time I think I'll upgrade. Either way they are not very expensive.

I love vista print. I have my cards watermarked. I just did it in Powerpoint then saved the image and uploaded it to the Vista website. They can help you with those things if needed.

GL!

I used VistaPrint as well, but paid $7.99 during a sale so that I didn't have their logo on the back. It's a good place to start.

Whoa! Get deal on the cards!

I'm not sure about what email you could be talking about. I get promotional emails from Vistaprint, but nothing that I signed up for. Go to your Vistaprint account and see if you can find anything there.

I love my vistaprint cards.
you need to watch the ads... some times they are FREE and sometimes they are discounted.... wait until they are FREE
then I uploaded my image (I used some of their grapics and Adobe Photoshop - they give you a template)
so I paid ~$5 for the custom image and ~$5 for shipping
...~$10 for 250 cards, I thought that was pretty good icon_lol.gif

oh, I forgot.
I watermark my photos now with Adobe Photoshop, but I'm sure you could use another program.
I made an image file with the logo and then ' duplicate the layer' onto the new cake photo.
(I use a translucent, color multiplying layer so that you can see the underlying image and it's harder to 'erase')
good luck!

I make my business cards with microsoft publisher, you can buy blank business cards at Staples or any other school/business supply store.

I just design my own cards and print, and voila, they're done!

I've used Vista Print in the past - haven't had any problems with them or the quality of their work. I think you can also custom order other items for later on when you want to market your business a little further. They always have specials for repeat customers, and will e mail you to death sometimes, but they are the best money for the quality I've found so far.
