Is there a way to resize a specific card within a stack without affecting all cards in the stack?
What I am wanting to do is click on a button on a card (card A) and have another card (card B) pop up in
front of the other card in a slightly smaller format without hiding Card A. Card A 1080 x 760, Card B 1080 X 380.

No, sorry, all cards are the same size as the current stack size. You could overlay another stack or substack to have the same display effect, but not on mobile. On mobile devices only one stack window can be active, and will always size to the full screen (even though you may need to play with the fullscreenmode auto resizing options to get the card objects to fit)

Would it work for what you’re trying to accomplish if “Card B” was a group you displayed on top of Card A?

To enlarge upon what Sparkout mentioned, when you asked for one card to "overlay" another, so that one can be seen behind another, you are automatically talking about two stacks.

It is certainly possible to modify the size of a stack as you display different cards. This is uncommon, but there is nothing to stop you from doing so. But you cannot have it both ways. Whatever size the stack (and its cards) are at any given time, then that is it, the size of the stack. Only one card can be "shown" at a time, and that fact is unrelated to stack size.
