The verb to describe an effect (generally negative) that results from the conversion of a 2D film in to a 3D, whereby aspects of the scene whilst having an overall sense of depth, appear more like cardboard cut-outs rather that fully depthed objects.
The effect is created by the way the rotascope 'slices' the image in to its respective 3D elements, finer slices create more depth.
I did enjoy Burton's Alice movie, but at times the cardboarding was distracting.

Magic cards.

No, really. Cards from the Magic: The Gathering game. So called because, like crack, they are cheap but highly addictive and you never ever stop buying more, even when it's harming your job, your social life, and your health.

The term can be expanded to refer to any collectible card game, but Magic remains both the first and the best of these.
John bought another pack of cardboard crack, even though he just sold his left kidney to pay his rent. I think we need to do an intervention.

One of the greatest joys any man could ever know. Especially ones found around jungles that say things such as "to the weapons lab: main wing"
Sigint: Uh, Snake... What are you doing?

Snake: I'm in a box.

Sigint: A cardboard box? Why are you...?

Snake: I dunno. I was just looking at it and I suddenly got this urge to get inside. No, not just an urge - more than that. It was my destiny to be here; in the box.

Sigint: Destiny...?

Snake: Yeah. And then when I put it on, I suddenly got this feeling of inner peace. I can't put it into words. I feel... safe. Like this is where I was meant to be. Like I'd found the key to true happiness.

Sigint: ...

Snake: Does any of that make sense?

Sigint: Not even a little.

Snake: You should come inside the box... Then you'll know what I mean.

Sigint: Man, I don't wanna know what you mean! Between you and Para-Medic, is everyone but me that is hooked up with the Major strange!?

Snake: ...

Sigint: Yeah, well, anyway, I suppose even that dumbass box might make a decent disguise if you wear it inside a building.

When a person is having a masturbation session, they are about to blow their load, but they haven't got something to unload into, they pick up a dirty sock and blow the load into it. They forget it's lying there for weeks, and the cum makes the sock harden like cardboard.
Tom: Dude, what is up with that smelly sock?

Jeffrey: Dude, I was lazy, I blew my big load into that sock last week and it's like cardboard now.

Tom: Cardboard socks!
