CSS "card flip" within jQuery carousel?

[detection]

Hi all,

I'm a graphic design student currently working on my portfolio website. I'm going for a pretty minimal design, but have created a sort of complicated idea in my head it seems...

I am using this jQuery carousel to display my works. The thing is, I would like to know if it's possible to employ CSS flip card animations within the carousel - as in, you would hover over (or click if necessary) one work, and it would flip over to reveal more shots and/or a description.

I've tried several different options for the CSS flip and none have worked. I'm not sure it's possible, or perhaps just not with CSS? Or perhaps not at all inside the carousel.

Thanks for reading and any help you may be able to offer!
