description: Cards are simple containers for displaying information about pages, groups, or users.
---

Use Cards to display information about, for example, a page, a group or a user.

A Card is a simple container that may have a header and a footer.
A Card has no colors or shadows of its own. To add colors and shadows
you may instead combine the `env-block` and `env-shadow` classes.

If used inside a [Cardholder](/layout/cardholder/) the Card will stretch
its width and height to make a nice aligned grid of cards.

## Card anatomy

A Card may have a header, a body and a footer: `.env-card__header`, `.env-card__body`, `.env-card__footer`.

No matter HTML source order, header will always display first and footer last. The footer
will always stick to the bottom of the Card. Inside a Cardholder, if the Card needs to stretch
vertically, the body of the Card will be the element that stretches.

```html
<div class="example-demo-dark">
   <div class="example-card-parts env-card env-block env-shadow-small">
      <div class="env-card__header">Header</div>
      <div class="env-card__body">Body</div>
      <div class="env-card__footer">Footer</div>
   </div>
</div>
```
