Purchase business card paper from a local office supplies outlet. Find paper with heavyweight stock and a gloss or matte finish. Choose 8 1/2" x 11" paper if you are using a standard home printer.

Buy special perforated business card paper from websites, such as the Avery website, or use scissors to cut your 8.5 inches by 11 inches paper into business cards.
