Welcome to TalkGraphics Genechr
What program are you using to create the card?

Microsoft Office Picture Manager
as far as I can see MOPM will open all the usual image formats - though I do not know if a gif will be animated or not; I have MOPM on my computer, as it comes with Office 2010, but I don't use it
so export your text from xara 3d maker in image format - as it's a business card I am assuming you do not need it animated, so PNG format should be best - if you do not want a background, you will probably have to select the right setting to preserve the transparency when you export if it does not do this by default [I don't have the latest xara 3D maker - I have ver 6 but not on the computer I am using at the moment]
You will need to Export the text in a format such as PNG or BMP.
I don't have Xara 3D installed on my computer at the moment. Maybe one of the members who does can give you the steps.

I can save it in any format and it looks like PNG is the best. I hope someone can let me know the steps it takes to complete this. Thanks for your help.
having had a quick look at the help file I don't think microsoft office picture manager is an editing program in the real sense of the word - all it seems to be able to do is adjust an existing picture - not add things to it
you would maybe be better off opening your card in microsoft paint and then pasting in your saved PNG text, at least that will let you combine the two
or using a made for purpose graphics editor
I don't know if this will help or not but you might have a look at

Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.
Thanks for the suggestion. The text I'd like to use is hard for me to create. Is there someone here I could sent it to and explain how I'd go about making it look like my sample. I don't want you to do it for me, just let me know how it was done. I cropped out the text I want to use but don't know how to create it. Can someone help.
if you have a sample post it up here...
