Rather than trying to cut through thick plasticard with a craft knife, you might want to get a scriber (also known by modellers as a 'scrawker' or 'skrawker'). This has a hook shaped blade that actually removes a very thin sliver of plastic as you draw it towards you (rather than just trying to displace the plastic each side of a knife blade, which is what makes it so hard to cut thick material).

Also great for scribing (obviously!) panel lines, woodgrain, etc. Mine is a REALLY USEFUL tool.
