I have some large distribution lists - I'd now like to create individual
contact 'cards' for each of these people - is there a fast way to do it
without having to cut and paste each one individually?

You could save the DL as a text file (it's tab-delimited), open it in Excel,
save it as a .csv, then import it into Outlook.
 
Or skip Excel: Open it in Notepad, delete the info at the top so all you have is the list of names, then import as a tab-delimited text file.

Thanks - bearing in mind I am fairly new to Microsoft - I have saved as a
..csv and then tried importing but when I browse the files it doesn't show any
..csv files to choose from - help

Since you get to choose where the CSV gets created, where did you tell it to
do so?
