Where is a good place to get some cards at a good price? I am going to set up a booth at a craft show to sell some of my work. This is my first attempt at a show and I would like to pass out some cards.Any suggestions?

Allen,
Why don't you make your own. You can get sheets of Business cards and design your own and print them out. I included some pics of  patterns I have done on mine.
 
It is fully functional just don't have a lot of pre-made templates that would come with the paid for program. Good for making address labels, return address labels, and just about any label you can think of too.

For quite a while I was printing my own cards... I recently tried Vista Print http://www.vistaprint.com/vp/ns/splash/splash_businesscards.aspx?xnav=left
I was extremely happy with the cards and the delivery time.... and after figuring out what glossy business card stock, ink and my time cost, I saved money.... all in all not a bad thing... LOL

I make all my business cards on the computer with white card stock and a small paper cutter, I can have several kinds with different amounts of info on each bunch, I give a general name town state and phone number, I was getting religous mailings, chain letters and all sorts of weird stuff when I put my full address
on the cards, good luck with your craft show and your cards woodman

i did the vistaprint.com thing once too. it was ok,but you had to use their generic pre-designed layouts/backgrounds etc and just fill in your text info.... they also advertise vistaprint on the back of the cards...

i think it was $10 or 15 for like 500 or maybe 1k?
definitely has its pros and cons(making your own at home is fun once,then its just time consuming and costly!) ive been making my own for a while and tired of it,the supplies are expensive compared to the going rate for getting cards printed(i hear its competetive with vistaprints prices for your own designs even

I found that avery.com has a free download that is greating for making business cards.  It also has a wizard that can be used with MS Word.  It's easy to use and make custom cards with.
