As you might have guessed this image is part of a mail envelope shape which I would like to create with CSS3 if possible. I've made the other parts but this one's tricky. The shape needs both a triangular cut on both sides and rounded corners (presumably border-radius-bottom-left/border-radius-bottom-right). It also has to have the ability to cast a small shadow.
This is what I've done so far -
#envelope {
background: #fff;
}
.closed {
width: 860px;
height: 0;
border-top: 80px solid fff;
border-left: 50px solid transparent;
border-right: 50px solid transparent;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 5px #ccc;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 5px #ccc;
box-shadow: 0 1px 5px #ccc;
}

My attempt, I only used the shadow and rotate properties for chrome, but you can add it for other browsers,

body {
background: #f2f2f2;
}
#content {
width: 460px;
margin: 0 auto;
background: #fff;
height: 400px;
/* for demo */
-moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 5px #ccc;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 5px #ccc;
box-shadow: 0 1px 5px #ccc;
border-bottom-left-radius: 15px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 15px;
-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 15px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 15px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomright: 15px;
-webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 15px;
z-index: 0;
}
.closed {
z-index: 1;
width: 460px;
overflow: hidden;
margin: 0 auto;
height: 80px;
margin-bottom: -5px;
}
.closed .mid {
/*background: #fff;*/
width: 360px;
margin: 0 auto;
margin-top: -70px;
height: 80px;
background-color: #fff;
-moz-box-shadow: 0 1px 5px #ccc;
-webkit-box-shadow: 0 1px 5px #ccc;
box-shadow: 0 1px 5px #ccc;
-webkit-border-radius: 12px;
}
.left,
.right {
display: none;
}
.closed .right {
display: block;
width: 0;
height: 100px;
border-left: 60px solid #fff;
border-right: 1px solid #ccc;
margin-left: 384px;
-webkit-transform: rotate(39deg);
margin-top: -34px;
box-shadow: 1px -1px 1px #ccc;
}
.closed .left {
display: block;
width: 0;
height: 100px;
border-right: 60px solid #fff;
border-left: 1px solid #ccc;
margin-left: 16px;
-webkit-transform: rotate(-39deg);
margin-top: -100px;
box-shadow: -1px -1px 1px #ccc;
}
<div id="content">
<div class="closed">
<div class="right"></div>
<div class="left"></div>
<div class="mid"></div>
</div>
</div>
Here's my try, with just one div
div {
margin:20px;
width:500px;
height:60px;
border-bottom-left-radius: 90px 200px;
border-bottom-right-radius: 90px 200px;
box-shadow: 0 5px 3px -5px #888,
5px 0 3px -5px #888,
-5px 0 3px -5px #888;
}
<div></div>

A 1 element solution using 2D skew transforms on pseudo-elements.
DEMO
Result:
HTML:
.envelope {
overflow: hidden;
position: relative;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 20em;
height: 10em;
border-radius: .25em;
background: lemonchiffon;
}
.envelope:before,
.envelope:after {
position: absolute;
top: -.25em;
width: 40%;
height: 30%;
content: '';
}
.envelope:before {
left: 1em;
border-radius: 0 0 0 .25em;
box-shadow: -.2em .2em .2em dimgrey;
transform: skewX(37.5deg);
}
.envelope:after {
right: 1em;
border-radius: 0 0 .25em 0;
transform: skewX(-37.5deg);
box-shadow: .2em .2em .2em dimgrey;
}
<div class='envelope'></div>
Here's 3 approximations http://jsfiddle.net/JKirchartz/RNChA/ using only border-radius, should work in all browsers with the proper prefixes.
HTML:
.env {
width: 100%;
height: 300px;
border: 3px solid #bbb;
margin: 1em
}
.env_top {
border: 0.2em solid #bbb;
border-top: 0;
height: 60px;
max-width: 100%;
}
.one {
-webkit-border-radius: 0px 0px 24px 24px / 0px 0px 200px 200px;
-moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 24px 24px / 0px 0px 200px 200px;
border-radius: 0px 0px 24px 24px / 0px 0px 200px 200px;
}
.two {
-webkit-border-radius: 0px 0px 24px 24px / 0px 0px 300px 300px;
-moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 24px 24px / 0px 0px 300px 300px;
border-radius: 0px 0px 24px 24px / 0px 0px 300px 300px;
}
.thr {
-webkit-border-radius: 0px 0px 100px 100px / 0px 0px 300px 300px;
-moz-border-radius: 0px 0px 100px 100px / 0px 0px 300px 300px;
border-radius: 0px 0px 100px 100px / 0px 0px 300px 300px;
