Or use a publishing program like pagemaker or quark to gang your own.

Unfortunately, the problem with this suggestion is the printing. Many people have printers that will not handle stock thick enough to be business cards. Even the more expensive epson r2400 has problems handling some thick papers such as Hahnemule.

And you certainly don't ever want to hand out a business card printed on anything other than standard, thick stock. VERY unprofessional.
