Stack of Papers Using CSS3 (With Ribbons and Animation)

Categories: CSS, HTML

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.

    width: 950px;
}

However, if you will like more than three stack of papers, use the below CSS and see a live demo here.

Animating Stack of Papers

Stack of Papers Using CSS3
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.
