A big wet smooch to this idea
In lieu of business cards, this makeup artist carries a custom stamp that leaves a lipstick print, with name and phone number incorporated, on whatever surface is deemed appropriate -- say, a napkin or piece of note paper.
The stamp could also be used to create inexpensive letterhead.

Landscaper's business card
It's really an envelope filled with grass seed. Very nice.

I'm picking on another lawyer.
On the face of it, this is a clever idea for a divorce lawyer's business card. But it doesn't really make sense.
The implication is that each spouse takes half of the card. The trouble is, it's unethical for an attorney to represent both parties in a divorce.
That may sound like a nitpicking argument against this business card, but to me it reveals a major flaw in the creative concept.

Here's an example of attorney advertising that I REALLY didn't like.

Logo for Chicago's Olympic Bid
This is the logo Chicago is using for its bid to host the 2016 Olympics. The flame incorporates the Chicago skyline, while the torch reflects Lake Michigan.
Very nice.
The logo was created by design agency VSA Partners.
