CSS, Visual · May 17, 2021

Creates an isometric card.

  • Use transform with rotateX() and rotateY() as well as a box-shadow to create an isometric card.
  • Use transition to animate the card, creating a lift effect when the user hovers over it.
<div class="isometric-card"></div>
.isometric-card {
  margin: 0 auto;
  transform: rotateX(51deg) rotateZ(43deg);
  transform-style: preserve-3d;
  background-color: #fcfcfc;
  will-change: transform;
  width: 240px;
  height: 320px;
  border-radius: 2rem;
  box-shadow: 1px 1px 0 1px #f9f9fb, -1px 0 28px 0 rgba(34, 33, 81, 0.01),
    28px 28px 28px 0 rgba(34, 33, 81, 0.25);
  transition: 0.4s ease-in-out transform, 0.3s ease-in-out box-shadow;
}

.isometric-card:hover {
  transform: translate3d(0px, -16px, 0px) rotateX(51deg) rotateZ(43deg);
  box-shadow: 1px 1px 0 1px #f9f9fb, -1px 0 28px 0 rgba(34, 33, 81, 0.01),
