rewrite your rule as follows:

article.project-container {
    float: left;
    position: relative;
    top: 5px !important;
    left: 5px !important;
    margin: 5px !important;
    padding: 10px;
    background-color: #fff;
    box-shadow: 0 1px 2px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.07);
}

the !important declarations are used to override the plugin's rules.

(background is also re-written as specifying a shorthand for a single property is redundant).
