Can you design business cards with Photoshop Elements? I know you can do galleries, photo printout packages (you can cut apart), but can you do business cards?

Just create a canvas 3.5 inches wide and 2 inches high with .125 inches bleed all around (assuming you want images to bleed off, which would make your canvas size 3.75 x 2.25 inches). Make the resolution high (600+dpi) so that your antialiased text doesn't break up. That covers the individual card... to create a 'gang up', just create a canvas representing the printable area of your overall page (at the same resolution as your card), calculate how many horizontal and vertical you can fit on a page (don't forget to account for your bleed) and drag out guides from the rulers that intersect your crop lines. Then drag in, duplicate and layout your cards and create lines to represent the crops. Easy
