    Get some 'G' Clamps and two pieces of heavy card the same size as your business cards. Clamp them all together tightly and paint the edges in one of several ways:

    brush or roller
    a paint marker
    or press lightly on a stamp pad.

    The heavy card, or melamine, is to stop the clamps leaving impressions on the cards.

    The stamp pad is nice and fast, I believe it's a great way to avoid the ink seeping if you don't ink the pad too much.

    I've also been thinking about this idea for books, and I think the stamp pad could be masked so that you could have another image created on the edges of the pages.... worth a try!
