Card

Cards are a popular and flexible UI component.

Basics

A card is just an element with a .card class applied. You can put any kind of content inside. Make sure you wrap your content in a .card-section element in order to achieve the traditional card look.

A card container has no padding, allowing you to place full-bleed images inside. Use the .card-divider and .card-section classes to sub-divide a card.

    <h4>I'm featured</h4>

  <div class="card-section">
    <p>This card makes use of the card-divider element.</p>
  </div>
</div>

This card makes use of the card-divider element.

Images

Images play nicely with cards. Simply include one outside of the .card-section element to span nicely to the edges. Or move the image inside the .card-section to have padding around the image.
