Custom or Premade Cards

Ever since I got into Geocaching I’ve been trying to come up with what to use as my signature item. Basically it’s an item that is unique to me that I can leave in the caches that I find to let them know “Whitters was here.” I toyed around with the idea of coins, poker chips, etc… But finally I decided on custom business cards which I could place in the caches after filling out the date of the find and the number find it was for me. It was a great idea, but I just needed to figure out where I could get the cards from.

I’ve never been that great at designing things, so in addition to trying to think up my own design, I’ve been also looking at pre-made designs online in hopes of getting inspiration. I’ve seen many sites that offer things like this, such as 123Print and each site I find just makes me want these business cards more and more. So I’m definitely going to be getting some very soon. I think I’ve decided that I want to go with my own design and have them printed from that… So it means I need to get my butt in gear and actually get some designs laid out so that I’ll have some options to choose from.

Anybody else have experience designing business cards? Any tips or suggestions?
