It was surprisingly easy. I used a pair of needlenose plies to clip the top 2 corners with no flying shards or anything (I held it under my desk as I had no goggles). Then I carefully clipped a corner of the very snug baggie and worked a scissor blade sideways into the cut (parallel to the card and lifting up so the pressure from the blade was on the baggie) and slowly sliced one end open (the baggies are like PSA holders, they have rails except at the corners). Not a lot of room for error clipping the baggie but I pulled it off. Patience, patience....
