How to create Cards with icons using CSS?
Step 1: HTML
First, we will create an index.html file and copy the below code.
<!-- inspired by https://adobe.ly/3KSkgPx -->
<h1>UL Cards</h1>
<ul class="ul-cards">
<li style="--accent-color: #68AFFF">
<div class="icon"><i class="fa-solid fa-user"></i></div>
<div class="title">Lorem Ipsum</div>
<div class="content">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Est explicabo suscipit amet officia.</div>
</li>
<li style="--accent-color: #FFA44B">
<div class="icon"><i class="fa-solid fa-house"></i></div>
<div class="title">Lorem Ipsum</div>
<div class="content">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Est explicabo suscipit amet officia dignissimos iusto, ut iste beatae repellat? Enim!</div>
</li>
<li style="--accent-color: #EF6968">
<div class="icon"><i class="fa-solid fa-wifi"></i></div>
<div class="title">Lorem Ipsum</div>
<div class="content">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. </div>
</li>
<li style="--accent-color: #0ED2D1">
<div class="icon"><i class="fa-solid fa-cart-shopping"></i></div>
<div class="title">Lorem Ipsum</div>
<div class="content">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Est explicabo suscipit amet officia dignissimos iusto, ut iste beatae repellat?</div>
</li>
<li style="--accent-color: #c66fa7">
<div class="icon"><i class="fa-solid fa-car"></i></div>
<div class="title">Lorem Ipsum</div>
<div class="content">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit? Enim!</div>
</li>
<li style="--accent-color: #ccb033">
<div class="icon"><i class="fa-brands fa-codepen"></i></div>
<div class="title">Lorem Ipsum</div>
<div class="content">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipisicing elit. Est explicabo suscipit amet officia dignissimos iusto.</div>
</li>
</ul>Here we created an unordered list with some items.
Step 2: CSS
Now, we will create a style.css file and write the below code to it.
@import url('https://pro.fontawesome.com/releases/v6.0.0-beta1/css/all.css');
