I had earlier written how we could create Animated Navigation Menu using CSS3. Now, in this post I am going to show how we can create stack of papers effect using CSS3 and then how we can add animations and ribbons using CSS only.
Basic Stack of Papers
Setting up basic stack of papers is easy, the code for it is below and you can see a live demo here.
The CSS
{code type=CSS}
body {
background: #333 url(http://priteshgupta.com/demos/papers/bg.png);
}
.stack {
background: #f6f6f6;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
height: 500px;
margin: 50px auto;
position: relative;
width: 960px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 3px hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .1);
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 3px hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .1);
box-shadow: 0 0 3px hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .1);
}
.stack:after, .stack:before {
background: #f6f6f6;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
bottom: -3px;
content: ”;
height: 500px;
left: 2px;
position: absolute;
width: 955px;
z-index: -10;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 3px hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .2);
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 3px hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .2);
box-shadow: 0 0 3px hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .2);
}
.stack:before {
bottom: -5px;
left: 5px;
width: 950px;
}
{/code}
The HTML
{code type=HTML}
{/code}
However, if you will like more than three stack of papers, use the below CSS and see a live demo here.
{code type=CSS}
body {
background: #333 url(http://priteshgupta.com/demos/papers/bg.png);
}
.stack {
background: #f6f6f6;
border: 1px solid #ccc;
height: 500px;
margin: 50px auto;
width: 960px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0 hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .5), 0 3px 0 -2px #f6f6f6, 0 3px 2px -2px hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .4), 0 7px 0 -4px #f6f6f6, 0 7px 2px -4px hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .4), 0 11px 0 -6px #f6f6f6, 0 11px 2px -6px hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .4), 0 15px 0 -8px #f6f6f6, 0 15px 2px -8px hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .4), 0 19px 0 -10px #f6f6f6, 0 19px 2px -10px hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .4), 0 23px 0 -12px #f6f6f6, 0 23px 2px -12px hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .4);
-moz-box-shadow: 0 0 0 hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .5), 0 3px 0 -2px #f6f6f6, 0 3px 2px -2px hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .4), 0 7px 0 -4px #f6f6f6, 0 7px 2px -4px hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .4), 0 11px 0 -6px #f6f6f6, 0 11px 2px -6px hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .4), 0 15px 0 -8px #f6f6f6, 0 15px 2px -8px hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .4), 0 19px 0 -10px #f6f6f6, 0 19px 2px -10px hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .4), 0 23px 0 -12px #f6f6f6, 0 23px 2px -12px hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .4);
box-shadow: 0 0 0 hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .5), 0 3px 0 -2px #f6f6f6, 0 3px 2px -2px hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .4), 0 7px 0 -4px #f6f6f6, 0 7px 2px -4px hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .4), 0 11px 0 -6px #f6f6f6, 0 11px 2px -6px hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .4), 0 15px 0 -8px #f6f6f6, 0 15px 2px -8px hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .4), 0 19px 0 -10px #f6f6f6, 0 19px 2px -10px hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .4), 0 23px 0 -12px #f6f6f6, 0 23px 2px -12px hsla(0, 0%, 0%, .4);
}
{/code}
Animating Stack of Papers
Now, I have added some content in it along with two CSS Ribbons and a simple animation to spread the stack of papers, though the easing animation is only available in Firefox(Since it only supports transition tags with Pseudo-elements). This is the final version, you can see a live demo here.
The CSS
{code type=CSS}
