You can get free full-color business cards for the cost of shipping if you:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Don&#8217;t mind their logo on the back of the card<\/li>\n<li>Like one of their free 42 backgrounds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Or, if you&#8217;re like me and want custom, glossy cards<\/strong>, their prices are still <strong>very reasonable<\/strong>.

This software is like Adobe Illustrator, only cheaper, and (in my opinion) just as powerful.  I used it to create all the graphics for my website, business cards, and pitch sheets.<\/p>\n<p>One more:  Although I love Xara&#8217;s products, I must admit that I do use <strong>Microsoft Visio<\/strong> for pure shape creation.  Hard to beat it.<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.Blender.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.blender.org\/fileadmin\/site\/_gfx\/nav-home.png?w=1200\" alt=\"Xara Xtreme\" title=\"Xara Xtreme\" \/><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>And of course, my son uses the free <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.Blender.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Blender<\/a><\/strong> software from Blender.org for <strong>3D modeling<\/strong>.  You can see his &#8220;SLY Games&#8221; logo on the sidebar of my blog.
