Styling Cards A card is a flexible and extensible content container. It includes options for headers and footers, a wide variety of content, contextual background colors, and powerful display options. Example Cards are built with as little markup and styles as possible, but still manage to deliver a ton of control and customization. Built with flexbox, they offer easy alignment and mix well with other components. They have no margin by default, so use spacing utilities as needed. Below is an example of a basic card with mixed content and a fixed width. Cards have no fixed width to start, so they’ll naturally fill the full width of its parent element. This is easily customized with our various sizing options. PlaceholderImage cap Card title Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the card's content. Go somewhere <div class="card" style="width: 18rem;"> <img src="..." class="card-img-top" alt="..."> <div class="card-body"> <h5 class="card-title">Card title</h5> <p class="card-text">Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of the card's content.</p> <a href="#" class="btn btn-primary">Go somewhere</a> </div> </div> Content types Cards support a wide variety of content, including images, text, list groups, links, and more. Below are examples of what’s supported. Body The building block of a card is the .card-body. Use it whenever you need a padded section within a card. This is some text within a card body. <div class="card"> <div class="card-body"> This is some text within a card body. </div> </div> Titles, text, and links Card titles are used by adding .card-title to a <h*> tag. In the same way, links are added and placed next to each other by adding .card-link to an <a> tag. Subtitles are used by adding a .card-subtitle to a <h*> tag. If the .card-title and the .card-subtitle items are placed in a .card-body item, the card title and subtitle are aligned nicely.

Image caps Similar to headers and footers, cards can include top and bottom “image caps”—images at the top or bottom of a card.

Ensure that information denoted by the color is either obvious from the content itself (e.g. the visible text), or is included through alternative means, such as additional text hidden with the .visually-hidden class. Border Use border utilities to change just the border-color of a card. Note that you can put .text-{color} classes on the parent .card or a subset of the card’s contents as shown below.
