A clean, animated credit card UI built with no JavaScript. Just creativity and the power of modern CSS.
🧠 Why I Built It
Today’s user interfaces are leaning toward glassmorphism, floating elements, and smooth animations. Inspired by these trends, I challenged myself to design a sleek credit card UI with only HTML and CSS.
This design is perfect for:
- Showcasing in your portfolio
- Prototyping fintech concepts
- Practicing advanced CSS skills
- Creating unique UI/UX elements
Best of all, no JavaScript is required!

🔑 Key Features
Before we look at the code, let’s see what this UI includes:
- Glassmorphism background
- Neon border glow
- Floating animation
- 3D hover effect
- Gradient chip design
- Fully responsive layout
🧱 Basic HTML Structure
First, let’s look at the HTML layout. It’s simple and well-structured.
<div class="card">
<div class="card-logo">NOVA BANK</div>
<div class="card-chip"></div>
<div class="card-number">1234 5678 9876 5432</div>
<div class="card-details">
<div>
<div class="label">CARD HOLDER</div>
<div class="value">RAJ ARYAN</div>
</div>
<div>
<div class="label">EXPIRES</div>
<div class="value">12/29</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
🎨 CSS Effects Explained
Let’s break down the key styles and how they work.
1. Glassmorphic Background
To create the blur and transparency:
cssCopyEdit.card {
background: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.1);
backdrop-filter: blur(16px);
-webkit-backdrop-filter: blur(16px);
border-radius: 20px;
}
This gives a frosted-glass look. It’s a common glassmorphism technique.
2. Floating and Hover Animation
This animation adds subtle motion, making the card feel alive.
cssCopyEdit@keyframes floatCard {
0%, 100% { transform: translateY(0); }
50% { transform: translateY(-10px); }
}
.card {
animation: floatCard 6s ease-in-out infinite;
}
.card:hover {
transform: rotateY(10deg) rotateX(5deg) scale(1.03);
}
When you hover, the card slightly rotates and scales up. It creates a 3D illusion.
3. Glowing Border
A soft animated glow adds polish and visual appeal.
cssCopyEdit.card::before {
content: "";
position: absolute;
inset: -2px;
background: linear-gradient(135deg, #00ffe7, #0075ff);
filter: blur(20px);
opacity: 0.3;
animation: glow 4s ease-in-out infinite alternate;
}
This glowing border effect pulses slowly, drawing attention.
