Looking for a subtle but impressive scroll effect that instantly makes your design feel more dynamic? Say hello to Stacked Cards for Divi — a free layout you can download and use right away. No CSS, no complicated setup — just clever use of Divi’s built-in scrolling effects.

Fun Fact:

I originally created this layout to answer a question from one of my amazing students inside the Divi Stylist Academy - and it turned out so fun that I had to share it with all of you! 😄

How it works

The effect is super simple but looks impressive!
Each “card” is actually a Row with scroll effects and offset settings. As you scroll, the cards stack one on top of the other — creating that fun layered feel.

👉 The key details:

  • The last card sits inside its own section, with no scrolling effects applied. That’s what lets it smoothly “unstick” and scroll up, revealing the content below.

  • Every section after the stacked cards needs a z-index value set (anything other than auto). This keeps everything layered and scrolling beautifully.

And that’s it!

This little layout idea actually started with a question from one of my students inside Divi Stylist Academy. I love when those “what if
” moments turn into something everyone can play with.

I can’t wait to see what you create with this little layout experiment. 😊 If you give it a try, leave a comment below or tag me - I’d love to cheer you on!
