I want to make the size of cards to be same, irrespective of the text size. If i give more number of text, card is expanding. But i want to set fixed size for the card. Empty spaces for small number of text is what i am expecting. I have tried this code, but it is not looking as expected.

CSS:

@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Poppins&display=swap");
* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
}

html {
  box-sizing: border-box;
  font-size: 62.5%;
}

body {
  background-color: #eee;
  font-family: "Poppins", sans-serif;
  display: flex;
  justify-content: center;
  align-items: center;
  min-height: 93vh;
}

.grid {
  display: grid;
  width: 104em;
  grid-gap: 6rem;
  grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fit, minmax(30rem, 1fr));
  align-items: start;
}

.grid-item {
  background-color: #fff;
  border-radius: 0.4rem;
  overflow: hidden;
  box-shadow: 0 3rem 6rem rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
  cursor: pointer;
  transition: 0.2s;
}

.grid-item:hover {
  transform: translateY(-0.5%);
  box-shadow: 0 4rem 8rem rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
}

.card-img {
  display: block;

  object-fit: cover;
  width: 300px;
  height: 300px;
}

.card-content {
  padding: 2rem;
}

.card-header {
  font-size: 2rem;
  font-weight: 500;
  color: #0d0d0d;
  margin-bottom: 1.5rem;
}

.card-text {
  font-size: 1.5rem;
  letter-spacing: 0.1rem;
  line-height: 1.25;
  color: #3d3d3d;
  margin-bottom: 2rem;
}

.card-btn {
  display: block;
  width: 100%;
  padding: 1.5rem;
  font-size: 1.5rem;
  text-align: center;
  color: #3363ff;
  background-color: #d8e0fd;
  border: none;
  border-radius: 0.4rem;
  transition: 0.2s;
  cursor: pointer;
  letter-spacing: 0.1rem;
}

.card-btn span {
  margin-left: 1rem;
  transition: 0.2s;
}

.card-btn:hover,
.card-btn:active {
  background-color: #c2cffc;
}

.card-btn:hover span,
.card-btn:active span {
  margin-left: 1.5rem;
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 60em) {
  body {
    padding: 2rem;
  }

  .grid {
    grid-gap: 2rem;
  }
}

You can add max-height | max-width in each container/card and prevent the box from overflowing if it has more content inside.

You can give each .grid-item, .card and .card-content a height: 100% value so that all the cards are of same height.

Now for the white-space, use flexbox with column direction for card-content and set margin-top value of card-btn to auto so that the button will always stay on the bottom.

Also, make sure to use box-sizing: border-box by default for all elements so that all elements are properly laid out.
