How to Create: Card

How to Create a Card

Step 1 - Add HTML:

<div class="card">
  <img src="img_avatar.png" alt="Avatar" style="width:100%">
  <div class="container">
    <h4><b>Bill Gates</b></h4>
    <p>Architect & Engineer</p>
  </div>
</div>

Step 2 - Add CSS:

.card {
  /* Add shadow to create the 'card' effect */
  box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
  transition: 0.3s;
}
/* Add a deeper shadow when the mouse hovers */
.card:hover {
  box-shadow: 0 8px 16px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
}
/* Add some inner padding to the card container */
.container {
  padding: 2px 16px;
}

Try it yourself

With rounded corners:

Example

.card {
  box-shadow: 0 4px 8px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
  transition: 0.3s;
  border-radius: 5px; /* 5px rounded corners */
}
/* Add rounded corners to the top left and top right of the image */
img {
  border-radius: 5px 5px 0 0;
}
