Blog preview card with wavy effect

Hello Guys! In this blog, I'm going to explain to you how to make a blog card with a wavy effect using CSS. You can use this card in a blog website to preview articles. This will be a step-by-step guide including HTML and CSS. Let's get started 🚀.

Let's cover the HTML part

HTML is a markup language. We use HTML to make the skeleton of a website.

Now let's import the font awesome CDN in our HTML head tag. fontawesome is a library that is used for icons in a website.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/5.15.1/css/all.min.css"
integrity="sha512-+4zCK9k+qNFUR5X+cKL9EIR+ZOhtIloNl9GIKS57V1MyNsYpYcUrUeQc9vNfzsWfV28IaLL3i96P9sdNyeRssA=="
crossorigin="anonymous" />


Now let's import the fonts using Google Fonts API. Below is the code for Poppins Font. Paste the below code in head tag.

<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.googleapis.com">
<link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com" crossorigin>
<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Poppins&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">


Now let's develop the skeleton of our card. We have a div with classname 'card', img tag, SVG tag for the wavy effect, if you want to make this wavy effect SVG you can make it using getwaves.io. Next, we have a description div which consists paragraph description and author profile details.

<div class="card">
    <img src="../imgs/desk.jpg" alt="Article">
    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 1440 320">
        <path> fill="#ffffff" fill-opacity="1"
            d="M0,160L48,154.7C96,149,192,139,288,160C384,181,480,235,576,224C672,213,768,139,864,122.7C960,107,1056,149,1152,165.3C1248,181,1344,171,1392,165.3L1440,160L1440,320L1392,320C1344,320,1248,320,1152,320C1056,320,960,320,864,320C768,320,672,320,576,320C480,320,384,320,288,320C192,320,96,320,48,320L0,320Z">
        </path>
    </svg>
    <div class="description">
        <h4> class="title">5 Productivity Tips to stay more productive in a day!</h4>
        <p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Necessitatibus, voluptatibus eos. Quae, dolores
            commodi? Impedit commodi voluptates</p>
        <div class="profile">
            <img src="../imgs/profile-pic1.jpg" alt="profile">
            <p class="author">
                <span> class="authorName">Piyush Patil</span>
                <span> class="date">12 June 2022</span>
            </p>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>code>


Here is the Final HTML Code

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">

Let's understand CSS Part

In the below CSS code,

  1. We declare a * selectors to set the font Poppins that we have imported in our head tag.
  2. Next we declare a body selector which consists of styles for dark mode and aligns all elements in the body to the center.
* {
    font-family: 'Poppins', sans-serif;
}

body {
    background-color: #111827;
    color: white;
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
    padding-top: 10rem;
}

.card {
    border-radius: 10px;
    height: 25rem;
    width: 15rem;
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
    justify-content: center;
    flex-direction: column;
    overflow: hidden;
    position: relative;
}

.card svg {
    position: absolute;
    left: 0;
    top: 120px;
}

.card img {
    width: 100%;
}

.description {
    padding: 15px;
    background: white;
    color: black;
}

.title {
    font-size: 1rem;
    margin: 0;
}

.description p {
    font-size: 12px;
    margin: 5px 0;
    color: #94a3b8;
}

.profile {
    display: flex;
    align-items: center;
}

.profile img {
    height: 30px;
    width: 30px;
    border-radius: 50%;
    margin-right: 5px;
}

.author {
    display: flex;
    flex-direction: column;
}

.authorName {
    color: black;
    font-weight: bold;
}

.date {
    font-size: 10px;
}
