These are mine. I made them when the upgrade of "extra" picture choices was free...added foil and paid a bit extra for that and the color back.

Kelly, the make online and print business cards are free on avery.com. What I can't figure out how to do is get the R with a circle beside the Pampered Chef name. I know I can order with Visa Print but I want to create my own at home.
 
Hold down the alt key and type on the number pad 0174, that makes the ®HTH
 
Oops! I didn't notice you said Avery and not VistaPrint...I didn't read too well!

Thank you! Now I need to get busy and get some cards made! I think I am going to attach them to magnets and hand them out at my shows.
 
My cluster has ordered the measurements refrig magnet from Houseofmagnets.com and these go over SUPER! I have guests fighting over taking one home!

Thanks for the tip I didn't know how to do this either, it works!
 
I use the Avery 8869 business card templates too but there is a template under files here that I use and looks very professional. :)
 
I tried printing on Avery cards and couldn't make them fit within the borders of my old printer ... I swore if I did them again, I'd use card stock. Couldn't find any templates I liked on there.Right now my printer only prints black and white because of a faulty color cartridge ...
