How to Cut Foamboard
 
The Tools - a utility knife (use a strong one so that the blade doesn't wander), a cutting board, a thin ruler (if your cutting edge is to thick, then you can't get deep enough with the blade).

Make sure that the knife is sharp. This may require you to replace the blade.

For a straight cut, position the ruler where you want the cut to be.

Begin cutting with the blade of the knife at about a 45 degree angle. If you cut with your angle too high, it will start to bunch up.

Keep the knife on the same angle right through until you are finished your cut.

You can cut as small as 1/16" off your foamboard using this technique.

Just make sure you bring the knife straight back, and do not alter the angle partway through cutting. It helps to make 2 passes when cutting.
