Creating a 3D Elementor Flipbox with Master Addons
Lets go brick by brick and create our own flipbox using Master addons. By the end you should have a very clear understanding of how to create your own unique one.
Step 1: Installing Master Addons for Elementor
Before you can start using the Master Addons Flipbox widget, you’ll need to install and activate the Master Addons plugin. Here’s how:
1. In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins > Add New.
2. Search for “Master Addons for Elementor” in the search bar.
3. Click Install Now and then Activate once the plugin is installed.
Once activated, the Master Addons widgets, including the Flipbox, will be available within the Elementor editor.
Step 2: Adding the Flipbox Widget
Now that the plugin is installed, let’s add the Flipbox to your page
1. Open your page in the Elementor editor. Choose Flexbox or grid as your layout.
2. On the left-hand panel, search for the Flipbox. You should see a Flipbox widget with an “MA” tag.
3. Drag and drop the Flipbox widget into the desired section of your page. An important thing to note here is that whenever you’re working with flipboxes it’s recommended to use Flexbox to make sure your flipboxes look good.
Once added, a basic flipbox design appears on your canvas, ready to be customized.
Step 3: Creating a 3D Elementor Flipbox
Now we’ve reached the settings which you can tweak to get a premium-looking 3D effect on your flipbox.
First off.
1. Style Preset
In the style preset you set the design variation and animation style
The design variation lets you customize the front of your box. You can set it to: Default, Image, Diagonal, Front Icon.
With the animation style you can choose exactly how your flipbox will be animated.
Master addons has 20+ premium animations available. From simple horizontal and vertical flip to 3D Flip, cube animations, rollover effects, etc.
Master Addons gives you a dedicated 3D flip animation that gives your flipboxes a dynamic feel. You can even customize the flip style of this animation. Once you pick it, a new option will appear in the “Style” tab under General settings: 3D Flip Style.
2. Front Content
Click on the Flipbox widget to edit it.
Under the Content tab, you’ll see fields to add your content for the Front Box. You can add a heading, description, and an image or icon here.
3. Back Content
Scroll down to the Back Content section in the same Content tab.
Similarly, add the content you want to appear when the flipbox is flipped. You might add a new heading, text, or a call-to-action button.
You can style both sides of the flipbox separately, using the Style tab to adjust fonts, colors, padding, borders, and more for each side.

- Choose the type of movement (e.g., floating up or down) and adjust the intensity to your liking.
Tooltips:

Some other helpful extensions

Previewing and Finalizing Your Flipbox
Once you’ve customized your flipbox, it’s time to see it in action.
