# Cards Block

> Display multiple items in a grid layout with images, titles, descriptions, and buttons.

The cards block lets you present multiple items in a structured grid layout. Each card can include an image, title, label, rich text description, and a call-to-action button. This is useful for event listings, sermon series, ministry highlights, or any content that benefits from a visual grid format.

***

## Adding a Cards Block

Drag the **Cards** block from the block palette into your email canvas. A default set of cards will appear, and you can add, remove, or reorder them.

***

## Card Content

Each card can include the following elements:

* **Image**: Add a photo or graphic to the top of the card
* **Title**: A headline for the card
* **Label**: A smaller text element, often used for dates, categories, or tags
* **Description**: Rich text content that supports bold, italic, underline, links, and multiple paragraphs. Links in descriptions use your email's link color.
* **Button**: A call-to-action linking to any destination

***

## Sidebar Settings

Select a cards block to configure the following in the sidebar:

### Image Options

* **Aspect Ratio**: Choose 16:9, 1:1 (square), or original (preserves the uploaded image's proportions)

### Content Alignment

* **Left** or **Center**: Controls how text and buttons are positioned within each card

### Colors

* **Text Color**: The color used for card titles and descriptions
* **Label Color**: The color for label text
* **Button Color**: The background (filled) or border (outline) color for card buttons
* **Button Text Color**: The color of button label text

### Button Style

* **Style**: Filled or Outline
* **Size**: Fit (sized to text), Full (full card width), or Large
* **Centered**: Toggle to center the button within the card

Buttons support all link types: **URL**, **Email**, **Phone**, **SMS**, **File Download**, **Planning Center**.

## Managing Cards

### Adding and Removing

Use the controls in the sidebar to add new cards or remove existing ones.

### Reordering

Drag and drop cards in the sidebar to change their order in the grid.

### Expanded Editing Modal

Click the **expand button** on the cards block to open a larger editing modal. This provides a more spacious editor with a sidebar for switching between cards and drag-and-drop reordering. The expanded modal is especially helpful when you have several cards or need to edit longer descriptions.

## Tips

* Use consistent image aspect ratios across all cards in a block for a clean, uniform look.
* Keep titles and descriptions concise. Cards work best when they are scannable.
* The expanded editing modal makes it much easier to work with cards. Use it whenever you are managing more than two or three cards.
* Labels are a great way to add context (such as a date or location) without cluttering the title.
