2. Aim hole puncher at that position, and start to punch it.
3. You can choose to wrap the hole edge with the metal. For one part, the hole will look prettier and can be better protected. For another part, it can help you fix several cards with holes together more simply. (wrap the hole or not wrap the hole are both okay)
