If you need business cards in hurry you can do them at home as long as the card stock is thick enough. However, with standard home printers, they can rarely feed thick enough card through.
Laminated paper trimmed to the edge will soon peel so won't look that professional but I guess you could get away with one or two. If you do design yourself don't 'design' them because adding graphics (and dare I say it, clip art) will just make them look naff.
I'd be more inclined to use a machine and get the simplest design possible because your contact details are essentially all you need.
