  submitBtn.addEventListener('click', () => {
    const emailInput = document.querySelector('#email');
    const userEmail = emailInput.value;
    if(userEmail === '') {
      alert("Please enter an email address!")
      emailInput.style.border = "solid red 2px";
    } else {
      console.log(userEmail);
      successCard.style.visibility = 'visible';
      previewCard.remove();
      document.querySelector(".user-email").innerText = userEmail;
    }
  })
