## Summary

Hover to expand stacked cards

## Description

**Card Stack with Hover Expand** is a dynamic Framer component consisting of multiple stacked cards, each containing an image and headline. On hover, the top **hover expand card** enlarges and reveals a highlighted style variant with smooth animation, making it a perfect **hover animation card** for modern interactive designs.

## Features

-   **Default initial state**: compact **image card** + **headline card** with arrow, arranged in a stacked layout
    
-   **Hover expand effect**: an **expandable card** grows or lifts, highlights headline and arrow, and adds subtle glow accents
    
-   **Smooth transitions**: animated using Framer variants (initial → hover), giving it the feel of a true **motion card**
    
-   **Built-in variables**: easily manage headline text, hover text color, card background color, image source, and link destination
