The main point demonstrated here is the use of justify-content: space-between, which places the first and last child elements at the edges of their bounding box, with the remaining space evenly distributed between the elements. For these cards, they are placed in a flexbox display mode, with the direction being set to column using flex-direction: column.

This places the title, description, and image block in a vertical column inside of the parent card. Then, applying justify-content: space-between anchors the first (title) and last (image block) elements to the edges of the flex container, and the descriptive text in between those gets placed with equal spacing to each endpoint.

.container {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  justify-content: space-between;
}
<div class="container">
  <div class="card">
    <h3>Title - Card 1</h3>
    <p contenteditable>Medium length description with a few more words here.</p>
    <div class="visual"></div>
  </div>
  <div class="card">
    <h3>Title - Card 2</h3>
    <p contenteditable>Long Description. Lorem ipsum dolor sit, amet consectetur adipisicing elit.</p>
    <div class="visual"></div>
