I just got the e-mail about getting 25 of them free. Does anyone have a PC style one that I could upload and tweak my info in? Or how do you do an original design...I just see preset options.

Are you able to post a picture of what it looked like?

Here's what I was just playing around with today. I got the offer for free premium business cards. Do you think this sends out an okay message? I don't know how to create my own and insert my own backgrounds and images, so this was a pre-made design I picked, then just added my own text. Is it okay?

250 small magnets for free? It is usually 25 free... Still they are great to have.

Any opinions on my business cards? I'm holding off on submitting the order, cause I'm not sure if that's the route I should go.

If it was 250 free, I was going to ask for you to forward me that email!

As for design, I hope someone helps. Mine always look so boring!

I'm not the most creative and not the best to ask but I like your cards. The design is cute and the message is different. I like it. Wish I had seen that before I sent in my order last night for cards from Vista print. There is a thread that has a lot of peoples different card ideas designs etc. Hold on a sec and I'll find it and post the link here.

Here it is

I've looked through other threads, and love the designs people have made. But I don't know how to copy their ideas. I could save and upload them, but then they'd have their info on there. I'm not good at this stuff. Once something is explained to me, I can usually figure it out and run with it, but I can't quite understand how to do some of these things.
 
Amanda I was kind of the same way on trying to figure that out. I can't remember how I did it but I did figure out how to add other pics and designs to a predesigned card. I would know if I looked again but I'm at work and can't really go on there right now. This board is the only guilty pleasure I allow myself at work!:);)

I'm glad you like the design and wording. I wasn't sure if my point comes across by my wording. I don't want them to think I am recruiting. I want them to think of themselves as a "pampered chef" just because they use our products and recipes to make life easier. Also, I wasn't sure of the punctuation. I know having several exclamation marks might make it come across amateurish, like it's a sales e-mail, but I couldn't figure out what else to do there. Also, should I add the R in the circle to show the PC is trademarked or by having it in quotes was okay, because I'm not referring specifically to the company, just that quality of a cook. KWIM?
