What recipe do you use on the back of your business card?
 
I don't have one YET on the back of mine, but I keep hearing people say the garlic bites!!
 
This is what I am using on the ones I ordered this morning:PARMESAN GARLIC BISCUIT BITES1 can Grands Biscuits (8 count)
4 tablespoons butter
1 garlic clove
1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning Blend
1/4 cup grated Parmesan CheeseMelt butter in Executive 10" skillet. Using garlic press, crush garlic clove into pan. Add seasoning mix to pan, Using Microplane Grater, grate cheese into pan. Cut biscuits into quarters, and add to pan. Using Mix n Scraper, stir ingredients to coat biscuits. Bake at 350 for 15-18 minutes, until golden on top.I've used other recipes - but this one I get requests for all of the time - more than any other - so I decided to put it on the card, and then I can hand them to everyone!
 
I like this idea, I think I'll put a sticker on the back of my business cards!
 
I've got an old artichoke salsa recipe that was from an old use and care card (don't remember what, though). I modified the instructions to use the salad choppers.http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/chefann1138/BC2.jpg
 
I have the Barbecue Pork Tenderloin on mine right now...see Vista threads for details.
 
Hey Janet. I noticed your recipe on the back of your card when you sent me those stamps. Great idea! I stuck it in my recipe box:).

What kind of printer do you have Carolyn? Most printers have a hard time gripping and printing on something as small as a business card when precut.

You might be better off printing the recipe to labels and adhering those to the back of your business cards. If you print on the clear labels you won't see the label edges that much and it will look more natural.

Just looked it up...you are definitely going to have issues with business cards.

Your multi-purpose tray handles: Letter, Legal, Executive, A4, A5, A6, B5, B6, Envelopes, Custom Sizes (2.75-8.5" (w), 4.57-14" (l))

Business cards are traditionally about 2" x 3.5" which is under the minimum custom size specs.

I'd go for the labels...
 
Wadesgirl, I love the idea with the labels!
 
I was just going to suggest it for Caroyln! I know my printer doesn't like printing on glossy surfaces, smudges alot of stickers are the way to go for me. I was also considering doing the recruiting call number on the back of my cards.

Bummer :(...
 
What would the label size be?
 
I have a blurb about the opportunity call ont he back of mine - but now that the number has changed I guess I need to order more.

Yum! I'm putting these on the back of my cards. (I needed to print some more anyway!) and now...I'm hungry :o lol

You can get the 30 to a page, because they're 1" x 2.5" and use those. If you need more room, use the 10 to a page (2x4), and cut off part of each so they don't hang off the side of the card.
 
You can buy business cards in sheets of 10. It comes as an 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. Avery also has templates but I havent found them to be very professional looking. I have used these cards when I just need a quick business card to pass out but only when it wasnt important to impress.

I liked the idea of using vista. Their website seems to make it pretty effortless to produce quality looking cards. I particularly liked ChefAnn's

And if you cannot decide, do multiple recipes. Would be a good thing for repeat customers.
