Client-created business cards

My long-time client has scaled back our retainer and would like to start generating business cards for new hires in-house. In the past, I've happily handled it for them but I get that having an agency type in names and email addresses feels like overkill.

Everything was created in Illustrator—which they don't have—and uses fonts they don't have installed. The client isn't helpless, but they aren't designers, either.

We've spent a lot of effort developing their brand system and I would prefer they not muck up the design. Is there a good alternative for creating an editable template for them with reasonable guardrails? Do I recreate the business card in Canva?

And yes, I do plan on trying to talk them out of it. How have you all dealt with this sort of thing?
