Step 2:

Use lines on paper cutter to make straight, even edges on all sides, removing the natural edges.

Step 3:

A typical business card is 3 1/2" by 2". Use a ruler and light pencil marks to determine the number of cards that can be cut from your paper.

Step 4:

Line your paper up and cut it into even 2" high strips.
