Default How do I cut the top of an accordion tag card?

I know where to start. With a 5 inch strip from a 12x12 piece of cardstock, and then scoring every 3 inches. So now that I have the accordian card, what do I do? Are there certain techniques on how to cut the top? How do I get it even? Does anyone have any creative designs? Or know where I can find a punch to cut the top?

Do you have a cutting mat? The kind they sell for sewing crafts has a couple of angle marks. One angle is 45� the other 60�. You can lay the first corner on that angle and mark it, then cut through a couple of layers at a time with a scissors.
If not, you could just draw any angle with a ruler and then make all the cut the same.

I have a punch that does corners for single layers, but I don't think any of them are strong enough to cut through 2 or 3 layers of cardstock.
