What gizmogal said is probably the best idea for sharp edges. If you want a curve rather than a fold, then you can use one of the techniques the pros use. I've heard it being called rounding on this board before.
In order to make the cardboard rounded, take the piece of cardboard and rub it against the edge of a desk or other hard 90 degree surface. This technique makes the paper/cardboard easier to fold into shape in general, but it's also good for making larger papercrafts more rounded.
Of course, when using rounding on cardboard, you will have to do it somewhat slow, because of that uneven bending that cardboard loves doing so much.
There are instructions on rounding at Kei Craft's website, but you'll have to use Babelfish and translate them into English to follow them completely.
A bone folder/butter knife/letter opener might help with some of the sharper folds as well as scoring.
If you need any more help or if I didn't make sense somewhere, feel free to ask. I won't be at home for most of next week, though, so any response after Monday morning will probably be a few days later when I get back.
