11 Business Cards That Are Cool No Matter What Your Profession

As a child, I thought business cards were the coolest thing. They were a a sign of maturity, both literally and figuratively. As a gift one year, my father gave me business cards that were identical to his, but with my name and email address on them. Obviously I treasured them, but here I am 10 years older without a business card in sight.

With all of this fancy modern technology, business cards are becoming a thing of the past, but I think they are still important, not to mention just plain cool. Whether you are a freelance writer or an engineer, a baker, photographer, or small business owner, I've gathered up 11 of the coolest and cutest cards for every profession.
