I buy cheap boxboard in various thicknesses and laminate them with Uhu glue sticks or spray adhesive for thicker frames etc. It's a cheap, soft cardboard but gains strength through lamination and is still relatively easy to cut compared to some of the denser stuff available.
As for cutting thicker stuff, I prefer to use a larger, thicker blade for that, instead of a standard X-acto type knife. |

for sanding profiles in card or other soft medium you can look at it in 2 ways, (probably more). One, if the profile and sanding is not too much, just sand the thing down as is. foam, cardboard balsa, etc. If there is a lot of sanding/profiling, brush on some of the thinner super glues to the edges. this makes them stiff enough to allow a complex contour etc.

I would suggest yet one more solution (if not mentioned before). use 1 mm card x 2. So: laminate part with 1 mm, cut out, then laminate second time & cut out...
2mm is thick... too thick to cut and keep sanity intact |

If the part to be cut out does not have abrupt contour changes, a box cutter with the blade barely extended provides enough grip, and a rigid enough blade to deal with cardboard.
Do not extend the blade more than absolutely necessary to cut the cardboard, or you risk cutting yourself if the blade or your hand slips. I use a box cutter for cutting the bulkheads of ship models since they have smooth curves. Again, do not extend the blade beyond the handle of the box cutter any further than is needed to go all the way through the card stock. |

When I need 2mm paper I just glue 4 x 0,5mm (in my case 300gsm paper) together. Depending on the piece I either cut the pieces out first and then glue or glue the full paper and then cut once dried. To make sure the paper dries flat without warping I put it between two large cardboard pieces I have for this purpose and then put a couple of heavy books on it and leave the glue to set for quite a while (preferable overnight).
The reason I like to go this route is that I rarely have 2mm cardboard around and also that it dulls sharp blades so fast.
