Answer 1

Use a container view inside your table view cell and assign tag say 99. Keep the cell height a bit larger then your card (container view).

and give shadow to your card view

UIView* shadowView = [cell viewWithTag:99];
shadowView.backgroundColor=[UIColor colorWithRed:228.0/255.0 green:228.0/255.0 blue:228.0/255.0 alpha:0.5];
[shadowView.layer setCornerRadius:5.0f];
[shadowView.layer setBorderColor:[UIColor lightGrayColor].CGColor];
[shadowView.layer setBorderWidth:0.2f];
[shadowView.layer setShadowColor:[UIColor colorWithRed:225.0/255.0 green:228.0/255.0 blue:228.0/255.0 alpha:1.0].CGColor];
[shadowView.layer setShadowOpacity:1.0];
[shadowView.layer setShadowRadius:5.0];
[shadowView.layer setShadowOffset:CGSizeMake(5.0f, 5.0f)];
