You can buy card stock and cut it with a paper cutter or Xacto knife if you like.

I tried that once and the cards came out different sizes. I recently bought a mat cutter to mat and frame photographs for sale. I will probably try that since it has the straight edge and ruler all built in.
Or maybe I can take them down to kinkos and pay them their cheap cutting fee. they can cut tons of sheets  of cards at once making them all the same size.

I've always sent them out to be printed (it's cheap enough to do 250) but I find far too often that the backs make great places for notes, directions, other people's phone numbers (who don't have cards of their own) etc.  So I don't think I'd recommend double sided glossy...

I have a definite idea for using 2 sided stock. I like the idea of one of my photographs on one side and my information on the other. If the other person does not have business cards, shame on *them* for not spending the few bucks, imo.

I had my new cards printed at www.overnightprints.com
They run $50/1000 double sided,full color with UV overcoat.
If you get them overcoated, Not even a Sharpie pen will
stay on it.

Thats really cheap compared to having them done at, say, Kinkos or probably myself.How is the quality though?

I just went to their website. They do not give the option of me being able to use my own photograph on the front side.

You can download a template from them in just about any format. Do your own artwork. Then upload the final file to them for printing. Remember to save a copy of the file in PSD format to make any changes in the future.

Go back to their site.Click on businesscards, then upload finished file, click on specs to get to the templates.

This card was done in Photoshop. I have also done a card in Illustrator too. I downloaded their PSD template. Created the text and pix on layers, flattened layers, then saved as a 300dpi tiff and upladed the final file. I received the print order a week later. They use a very heavy card stock for printing.

Thanks for the clarification. I just had them send me samples.

That is a nice card!

I count 1 font with 4 colors.

I tried to break up the text into bite sized chucks. I've had a lot of compliments from others on this card.

Your logo is the same typeface as the rest. It kind of dilutes your branding. Look at a newspaper or magazine. They use one typeface for the headline and another for the body copy. The same is true in advertisements...

Don't forget to count white as a color...
