I've always felt if the conversation or meeting went well and a good relationship was established, you can give the business card any way you like. It's only when you're dealing with the kind of people who do business only for the "etiquette" aspect where this kind of knowledge comes in handy.
Always ask permission. You know what else grinds my gears? People who come to my front door to sell items. Did you not see the no "soliciting" sign when you entered the complex?
No, you squash it in your hand with a fixated awkward smile, bring it closer to them, turn your fist and drop the screwed up card, after the businessman has looked at it, you keep the fixated awkward smile and keep your hand stiff then you slowly get closer to their face ;)
No. Creativity means coming up with unprecedented concepts for which no expected etiquette has been formed. When it comes to standard business cards, the rules should be followed out of respect for other people. If you come up with some new concept/means of networking, then the rules are yours to write, assuming the person you are trying to network doesn't expect you to act in a certain way.

Why did you stop publishing your youtube videos/content?
I got lawn business it very hard for me to get clients I'm very nice I always ask if they want my business cards
successful business owners don't follow etiquette, they use their creativity
I know it's been 9 years but do you have an example of a creative way to give?
I used to combine giving my business card with a handshake. But I kept getting it wrong. Gave a paper cut to a man from Nestle.

If they are senior level they would barely need your card.
What about all the hot waitresses I gave my card to after leaving a very large tip?
Yeah God forbid the person has to slightly turn the card to read it. Gimme a break!!! Ugghhh
