How to make hollows with css

Question

I am trying to make some narrows on my card element. What I am trying to achieve is:

My problem is I cannot make the hollows on the top and down.

So with margin: 20px 0, I tried to make these hollows but I am not successfull and my card is fully straight. Can you help me about this?

.card {
position: relative;
    display: flex;
    min-width: 0;
height: 100px;
    word-wrap: break-word;
    background-color: #fff;
    background-clip: border-box;
    border-radius: .25rem;
  border: none;
  filter: drop-shadow(1px 1px 3px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3));
  flex-direction: initial;
}

.sold-tickets-image {
  max-width: 100px;
  height: 120px;
  cursor: pointer;
  margin: 0 35px;
}

.rip {
  width: 40px;
  height: auto;
  margin: 20px 0;
  background-image: url(data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAYAAAACCAYAAAB7Xa1eAAAAAXNSR0IArs4c6QAAAARnQU1BAACxjwv8YQUAAAAJcEhZcwAADsMAAA7DAcdvqGQAAAAYdEVYdFNvZnR3YXJlAHBhaW50Lm5ldCA0LjAuOWwzfk4AAAAaSURBVBhXY5g7f97/2XPn/AcCBmSMQ+I/AwB2eyNBlrqzUQAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==);
  background-size: 4px 2px;
  background-repeat: repeat-y;
  background-position: center;
  position: relative;
  box-shadow: 0 1px 0 0 #fff, 0 -1px 0 0 #fff;
}

.rip:before,
.rip:after {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  width: 20px;
  height: 20px;
  top: -20px;
  left: 20px;
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%) rotate(135deg);
  border: 5px solid transparent;
  border-top-color: #fff;
  border-right-color: #fff;
  border-radius: 100%;
}

.rip:before {
  //left: -10px;
}

.rip:after {
  transform: translate(-50%, -50%) rotate( 315deg);
  top: 100px;
}

<div class="card">
  <div class="sold-tickets-actions">
    <img class="sold-tickets-image" :src="image" alt="Sold Ticket" />
  </div>

  <div class="rip"></div>
  <div class="sold-tickets-actions">
    <img class="sold-tickets-image" :src="image" alt="Sold Ticket" />
  </div>
</div>

I think [masking](https://web.dev/css-masking/) could help you — Itay Ganor, Sep 03 '21 at 11:26
Thank you for your answers but I am actually successful in making them horizontal but not vertical — magic bean, Sep 03 '21 at 11:33

This should do the trick...

  <div class="sold-tickets-actions">
    <img class="sold-tickets-image" :src="image" alt="Sold Ticket" />
  </div>
</div>

Result:

The above example only does the center of the tickets, to apply the styles to all corners, you can do the following...

Thanks for your answer but what I am trying to achieve is to have holes at the top and bottom. — magic bean, Sep 03 '21 at 12:11
I've updated my answer to include another approach and css prefixes for better browser support. — Levi Cole, Sep 03 '21 at 12:15
