Bootstrap 5 Card Design

How to create a simple responsive Bootstrap 5 card design using the basic Bootstrap 5 card.

Final output:

1. Let’s start with the first card from the official Bootstrap Card page. Replace the image with an icon.

I am using this Bootstrap SVG icon. Change the width and height attributes.

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="50" height="50" fill="currentColor" class="bi bi-code-slash"
    viewBox="0 0 16 16">
    <path
        d="M10.478 1.647a.5.5 0 1 0-.956-.294l-4 13a.5.5 0 0 0 .956.294l4-13zM4.854 4.146a.5.5 0 0 1 0 .708L1.707 8l3.147 3.146a.5.5 0 0 1-.708.708l-3.5-3.5a.5.5 0 0 1 0-.708l3.5-3.5a.5.5 0 0 1 .708 0zm6.292 0a.5.5 0 0 0 0 .708L14.293 8l-3.147 3.146a.5.5 0 0 0 .708.708l3.5-3.5a.5.5 0 0 0 0-.708l-3.5-3.5a.5.5 0 0 0-.708 0z" />
</svg>

<div class="card" style="width: 18rem;">
    <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="50" height="50" fill="currentColor" class="bi bi-code-slash"
        viewBox="0 0 16 16">
        <path
            d="M10.478 1.647a.5.5 0 1 0-.956-.294l-4 13a.5.5 0 0 0 .956.294l4-13zM4.854 4.146a.5.5 0 0 1 0 .708L1.707 8l3.147 3.146a.5.5 0 0 1-.708.708l-3.5-3.5a.5.5 0 0 1 0-.708l3.5-3.5a.5.5 0 0 1 .708 0zm6.292 0a.5.5 0 0 0 0 .708L14.293 8l-3.147 3.146a.5.5 0 0 0 .708.708l3.5-3.5a.5.5 0 0 0 0-.708l-3.5-3.5a.5.5 0 0 0-.708 0z" />
    </svg>
    <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>

Output:

2. Wrap the icon in a div. Use Bootstrap’s position utility to place the icon overlapping over the card at the top.

Change the border radius(rounded-circle) and add some padding(p-3).

Change the icon’s font(text-light) and background color(bg-dark).

<div class="position-absolute start-50 translate-middle rounded-circle p-3 text-light bg-dark">
    <svg>
        ...
    </svg>
</div>

Output:

3. Align elements in the card to the center using text-center. Set the border and the border radius of the card to zero. Add a box shadow.

Add a top margin to avoid the card overlapping over any other elements on the webpage.

<div class="card text-center border-0 rounded-0 shadow mt-5" style="width: 18rem;">
    ...
</div>

Output:

4. Convert the button into a link.

<a href="#" class="text-dark text-decoration-none fw-bold d-block py-2">Learn More</a>

Add a horizontal rule before the link. Change its color.

<div class="text-secondary">
    <hr>
</div>

Adjust the padding for the card title and card text. Increase font-weight(fw-bold) for card title.

<div class="card-body mt-5">
    <h5 class="card-title pt-2 fw-bold">Bootstrap Card Title</h5>
    <p class="card-text py-2">Some quick example text to build on the card title and make up the bulk of
        the
        card's
        content.</p>
    <div class="text-secondary">
        <hr>
    </div>
    <a href="#" class="text-dark text-decoration-none fw-bold d-block py-2">Learn More</a>
</div>

Output:
