Can't force padding on ion-card

None of the .css attributes are working to for the ion-card padding:

Here is what I’m using in the .css

.ion-cards{
    ion-card {
    margin-top:20px !important;
    padding-top: 50px !important;
    border-top: 20;
    }
}

HTML



And notice in the 2d screen shot how the other tab page’s title is showing in the background of the header. Not to mention I can’t get the padding for this page either and it’s not a card,…just ion-content20180506_18130020180506_181850

What does your markup look like?

Are you using any page selectors?

this is the html with the card that won’t adhere to the padding

<ion-header>

  <ion-navbar color="navbar">
    <ion-title></ion-title>
        <ion-buttons right>
          <button ion-button icon-only (click)="closeModal()">
              <ion-icon name="close-circle"></ion-icon>
          </button>      
        </ion-buttons>  
  </ion-navbar>
</ion-header>

<ion-card padding class="ion-cards">
  <ion-card-content padding>
  </ion-card-content>
</ion-card>

This is the page with the transparent header. This is a tab page

<ion-header>
  <ion-navbar color="navbar" class="navbar">
      <ion-buttons left>
          <button ion-button text-only (click)="skipAddingInfo()">
             Skip
          </button>
      </ion-buttons>
      <ion-title text-center>Profile</ion-title>
      <ion-buttons right>
          <button ion-button text-only (click)="savePersonalInfo()">
              Save
          </button>
      </ion-buttons>

</ion-header>

Do you want your card in the header?

<ion-header>

  <ion-navbar>
    <ion-title>
      Craft Beer
    </ion-title>
  </ion-navbar>

</ion-header>

<ion-content>

  <ion-card>

    <ion-card-content>

      <ion-card-title text-center>
     
        ...

      </ion-card-title>

    </ion-card-content>

  </ion-card>

</ion-content>

Transparent header:

<ion-header no-border>

  <ion-navbar transparent>
    <button ion-button menuToggle>
      <ion-icon name="menu"></ion-icon>
    </button>
  </ion-navbar>

</ion-header>

See:

No, I don’t want the card in the header, I want it beneath the header.

I think I explained my issue wrong. I actually don’t want a transparent header. The problem with my header is that it’s transparent. The issue is that the other header’s title can be seen underneath. I don’t want that and I’m not sure why the header from another page can be seen.
