Pure CSS Vertical Hover Cards with Blur Effect
This hover card layout features three vertically stacked cards in red, blue, and green. Each card contains a short heading and subheading, centered and easy to read. The overall design is clean and simple, creating a focused section ideal for showcasing features, categories, or messages.
When a user hovers over a card, that card scales up slightly to bring it forward. Simultaneously, the other two cards blur and shrink a little, pushing them into the background. This effect helps guide the viewer’s attention without using complex code or animations.
The cards have soft rounded corners, a drop shadow for depth, and smooth transitions that give a polished look. They are spaced evenly with consistent sizing, and each card reacts smoothly on hover, creating an interactive visual experience.
This layout is designed with pure HTML and CSS. It does not rely on JavaScript, making it lightweight and fast. The structure is flexible, so colors, content, and layout direction can easily be customized to fit any design need.
This effect works well on modern websites where a bit of interaction improves engagement while keeping the user interface clean and professional.
This code uses HTML and CSS only — no JavaScript included.
