Now it's time to get started. You have a few options when creating business cards with VistaPrint. You can design your own cards, choose a template, upload your own design, or have a VistaPrint professional create a design for you. If you choose the last option, it costs quite a bit more.

Step 5
Upload your own design, if you have one. This option is best if you want more freedom with the designs and colors.

After you pick the design for your card, it is time to customize it further. You must fill out the information. VistaPrint has a ready-made form that you fill out. All you have to do is fill in the necessary information and it will appear on the card design on the right-hand side of the window. If, for some reason, you do not like where the text boxes are placed on the card, you can change it around in the "Advanced Editing" feature.

Step 7
Finalize your design. Double-check the spelling and information to make sure it is correct. If you are sure that the information is perfect, you just have to initial at the bottom to approve the design.
