It is a 45 degree diamond. It has cut lines for 1 1/2" to 4 1/2". Here is one that looks a lot like it.

Except instead of the long ruler, you'd use your template to move along the strip.
You line up the marking on the diamond along the bottom of the strip - you use the measurement line that is the same as the cut width of the strip, cut the angle, and move on.
Try it with some scrap fabric (or paper) first.
It has many possibilities.
Enjoy!

Here's a better visual for cutting and template placement from Jan Krentz's book (different ruler but same concept):

Her diamond books are very good:
