1. Let’s start with this Bootstrap card example. I am using a Bootstrap icon instead of an image and changing the button a bit.

<div class="card" style="width: 18rem;">
    <div class="card-icon"><i class="bi bi-circle"></i></div>
    <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-outline-light">Go somewhere</a>
    </div>
</div>

Add some styles for the card and the icon.

.card {
  border: 0;
  border-radius: 0;
  padding: 3em 0;
  background-color: teal;
  color: #fff;
}
.card-icon {
  margin: 0 1em;
}
.card-icon i {
  font-size: 3em;
}

Output:

Card title

2. Let’s make two of the card’s corners round and add a box shadow.

.card {
  border-bottom-right-radius: 4em;
  border-top-left-radius: 4em;
  box-shadow: 5px 5px 10px #e1e1e1;
}

Output:

Card title

3. Now for the background color change hover effect, you could directly change the color on :hover. But, in order to see the transition from left to right, we will use a linear gradient.

.card {
  background: linear-gradient(to left, teal 50%, #26282b 50%);
}

Output:

Card title

4. I mean, you could use it like that as a card design, or add some angle and make it a cool-looking card.🤔

But let’s make it look like something we saw in the final output. To do that, set the background size to 200% so that only one color would be visible as we set each color to 50%.

And then you can choose which would be the default color and the one you would like to show on hover by setting the background-position to left or right.

.card {
  background-size: 200%;
  background-position: right;
}

5. Finally, add a hover effect by setting to background-position to the opposite of what you did before. You could also use top and bottom.

.card:hover {
  background-position: left;
}

6. It’s happening so fast, that you can’t really see a proper hover effect as expected. So let’s add a transition to see it in slow-mo.

.card {
  transition: background-position 0.5s ease-out;
}
