+<p>2019-02-27</p>
+<p><em>The design trend of using &#8220;cards&#8221; or &#8220;tiles&#8221; to display interactive</em> sections&#47;article headings in an app or website remains a popular choice among designers. So, let&#8217;s build a set of animated cards with only HTML &#38; CSS. </p>
+<h2 id="what-we-will-be-building-live-demo">What we will be building (live demo)</h2>
+<p>This is the set of animated card tiles we will be creating:</p>
+<p><em>(try hovering)</em></p>
+<p><a href="https://codepen.io/bradleytaunt/pen/rNjBpob">Live CodePen</a></p>
+<h2 id="the-html">The HTML</h2>
+<p>For the base skeleton of these cards we only need:</p>
+<ul>
+<li><p>a <code>flexbox</code> main container to hold everything</p></li>
+<li><p>a <code>.card-tile</code> parent element</p></li>
+<li><p>the inner child element that will display on <code>:hover</code></p></li>
+<li><p>proper <code>h4</code> and <code>p</code> tags inside that child element</p></li>
+</ul>
+<p>That&#8217;s all that is needed - for now. We will be returning to this code shortly to add some extra classes to make our lives easier.</p>
+<h2 id="the-css">The CSS</h2>
+<p>First we set the main housing container to use <code>flex</code> so we save ourselves the headache of aligning all the cards in a nice row:</p>
+<pre><code>.card-tiles-container {
+ display: flex;
+ font-size: 14px;
+ margin: 20px 0;
+}
+</code></pre>
+<p>Next we create the default styling for our tile cards and set the <code>transform</code> property to scale the card on <code>:hover</code>:</p>
+<pre><code>&#47;* Default card tile styles *&#47;
+.card-tile {
+ border: 1px solid;
+ border-radius: 10px;
+ cursor: pointer;
+ height: 150px;
+ margin: 0 10px;
+ overflow: hidden;
+ position: relative;
+ width: 33.33%;
+}
+.card-tile:hover {
+ transform: scale(1.1);
+}
+</code></pre>
+<h3 id="where-are-my-cards">Where are my cards?!</h3>
+<p>Don&#8217;t panic if you can&#8217;t <em>visually</em> see any card elements in your demo yet - that&#8217;s to be expected. We will be styling these card elements momentarily.</p>
+<p>Our next step is to hide the default inner <code>text-content</code> and only show it on hover. We achieve this by setting it&#8217;s position to <code>absolute</code>, placing it&#8217;s opacity at 0 and pushing it&#8217;s z-index back to -1.</p>
+<p>When the user hovers over a main card tile, we change the <code>text-content</code> values of both the opacity and z-index to 1.</p>
+<pre><code>&#47;* Card tile text content *&#47;
+.card-tile .text-content {
+ background: linear-gradient(rgba(0,0,0,0.4) 0%, rgba(0,0,0,0.6) 100%);
+ bottom: 10px;
+ border: 1px solid rgba(0,0,0,0.4);
+ border-radius: 5px;
+ box-shadow: inset 0 1px 1px rgba(255,255,255,0.8),
+ 0 2px 4px rgba(0,0,0,0.5);
+ height: 65px;
+ left: 10px;
+ opacity: 0;
+ padding: 10px;
+ position: absolute;
+ width: calc(100% - 20px);
+ z-index: -1;
+}
+.card-tile:hover .text-content {
+ opacity: 1;
+ z-index: 1;
+}
+</code></pre>
+<p>Finally we add some minor styling for the inner header and paragraph tags:</p>
+<pre><code>.card-tile .text-content h4,
+.card-tile .text-content p {
+ color: #fff;
+ margin: 0;
+ text-shadow: 1px 1px 1px rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
+}
+</code></pre>
+<h3 id="dont-forget-mobile">Don&#8217;t forget mobile</h3>
+<p>We want out UI to stack the cards if users are viewing them on smaller devices:</p>
+<pre><code>@media(max-width: 600px) {
+ .card-tiles-container {
+ flex-direction: column;
+ }
+ .card-tile {
+ margin: 0 0 10px 0;
+ width: 100%;
+ }
+}
+</code></pre>
+<h2 id="customizing-each-card">Customizing each card</h2>
+<p>Remember how I mentioned that we would be adding more classes to the original HTML? Now is the time. We will be including a simple class on each card tile to provide it&#8217;s own custom coloring:</p>
+<pre><code>&#60;div class="card-tiles-container"&#62;
+ &#60;!-- `Blue` class --&#62;
+ &#60;div class="card-tile blue"&#62;
+ &#60;div class="text-content"&#62;
+ &#60;h4&#62;Card Title&#60;&#47;h4&#62;
+ &#60;p&#62;Inner card content text&#60;&#47;p&#62;
+ &#60;&#47;div&#62;
+ &#60;&#47;div&#62;
+ &#60;!-- `Orange` class --&#62;
+ &#60;div class="card-tile orange"&#62;
+ &#60;div class="text-content"&#62;
+ &#60;h4&#62;Card Title&#60;&#47;h4&#62;
+ &#60;p&#62;Inner card content text&#60;&#47;p&#62;
+ &#60;&#47;div&#62;
+ &#60;&#47;div&#62;
+ &#60;!-- `Green` class --&#62;
+ &#60;div class="card-tile green"&#62;
+ &#60;div class="text-content"&#62;
+ &#60;h4&#62;Card Title&#60;&#47;h4&#62;
+ &#60;p&#62;Inner card content text&#60;&#47;p&#62;
+ &#60;&#47;div&#62;
+ &#60;&#47;div&#62;
+&#60;&#47;div&#62;
+</code></pre>
+<p>And these color classes correlate to some new CSS styling:</p>
+<pre><code>&#47;* Blue Card *&#47;
+.card-tile.blue {
+ background-color: #0093E9;
+ background-image: linear-gradient(0deg, #0093E9 0%, #80D0C7 100%);
+ border-color: #0093E9;
+ box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(128,208,199,0.7),
+ inset 0 2px 1px rgba(255,255,255,0.6);
+}
+.card-tile.blue:hover {
+ box-shadow: 0 8px 18px rgba(128,208,199,0.4),
+ inset 0 2px 1px rgba(255,255,255,0.6);
+}
+
+&#47;* Orange Card *&#47;
+.card-tile.orange {
+ background-color: #FAD961;
+ background-image: linear-gradient(180deg, #FAD961 0%, #F76B1C 100%);
+ border-color: #F76B1C;
+ box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(247,107,28,0.7),
+ inset 0 2px 1px rgba(255,255,255,0.6);
+}
+.card-tile.orange:hover {
+ box-shadow: 0 8px 18px rgba(247,107,28,0.4),
+ inset 0 2px 1px rgba(255,255,255,0.6);
+}
+
+&#47;* Green Card *&#47;
+.card-tile.green {
+ background-color: #096e40;
+ background-image: linear-gradient(0deg, #096e40 0%, #2AF598 100%);
+ border-color: #096e40;
+ box-shadow: 0 4px 12px rgba(9,110,64,0.7),
+ inset 0 2px 1px rgba(255,255,255,0.6);
+}
+.card-tile.green:hover {
+ box-shadow: 0 8px 18px rgba(9,110,64,0.4),
+ inset 0 2px 1px rgba(255,255,255,0.6);
+}
+</code></pre>
+<h3 id="adding-transitions">Adding transitions</h3>
+<p>We can now see the actual cards visually and have the ability to interact with them, but there is a problem - they don&#8217;t animate.</p>
+<p>Lucky we can target all elements we wish to animate with the <code>transition</code> property, like so:</p>
+<pre><code>&#47;* Shared transitions *&#47;
+.card-tile,
+.card-tile .text-content {
+ transition: .3s ease all;
+}
+</code></pre>
+<p>Done and done.</p>
+<h2 id="the-final-code">The final code</h2>
+<p>To make things easier for reference, I have included all the <code>html</code> and <code>css</code> below. Please feel free to use these cards anywhere you like and change them as you see fit!</p>
