This is likely to mostly repeat the Kevin's post but here's what I do:
What I use is fine finish circular saw blade on my power saw--- I only use for that purpose since it will dull the blade for wood use very quickly. I've also tried plywood blade which are also supposed to be good for plastics, but the cut is cleaner with the 60 tooth fine finish blade. I use a table saw to rip things into strips and then a radial arm saw to cut the strips to length.
The key is to cut very slowly and to make sure to use all the safely devices your saw offers. Use a push stick.... With the table saw you may need to clamp a scrap of wood to the fence keep the card material from going under it. As with any power saw operation hearing, eye, and dust mask are essential.
If you don't have a power saw, I'd suggest getting a miter box so you can cut perfect 90 degree cuts with a hand saw. Any fine-tooth hand saw should be fine.
I hope that helps!
