    I use vistaprint for all my business cards, rubber stamps, checks,
    etc. I like their website and service. I use a picture of one of my
    inlay bracelets, my signature piece. The picture pretty much takes up
    the whole left side of the card and then my name, business name,
    contact info, and website is on the right. Pay extra for the glossy
    finish. Don't bother with trying to print your own cards with an
    inkjet. They look cheap, have thin card stock, and curl up. By the
    time you pay for ink and paper you'll end up saving money with
    vistaprint and get a much better product. I wouldn't bother paying
    for express service. Their regular service in pretty fast. 

    Business cards work. I had someone call me last week and order an
    inlay bracelet. He and his wife had seen my work at a show this
    summer and got one of my cards. During the Christmas shows when a
    couple would look at my jewelry the wife/girlfriend would ooh and
    ahh and the husband/boyfriend would grab one of my cards. So I'm
    hopeful for some last minute Christmas shopping. Us guys always wait
    until the last minute... :)
