How I did it: I went to Wal-Mart and bought a pack of 110 lb. card stock (150 sheets) for about US$5.
I then went to Staples and bought an X-Acto knife for about US$6 (Wal-Mart carries them, but were sold out).
I went to Cubeecraft and printed out some of their design sheets.
Using scissors and the X-Acto knife, I carefully cut out the designs, and using trial and error figured out better ways to approach the process and improve from my previous attempt.

Lessons & tips: Take your time.
Don't expect to do things perfectly the first time.
Start with an easier design and work your way up to the more difficult ones.
Have fun!  =D
