Moving border on hover (CSS)

I love the buttons on this site - https://veronicaromney.com/

I tried copying the CSS from the site but I am not making it work right.

I do use Elementor, I added the code to the theme (for the button) and then the ID to the button, but what I got is that the button block (entire block) got the CSS and did nothing on hover.

Can you help me build these buttons?

Here is the code I have so far that pretty much isn't working for me.

.mmb-btn { -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    text-decoration: none;
    text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;
    position: relative;
    color: #fff;
    border: 0 none;
    box-shadow: 0 4px 13px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
    background-color: #e4b067;
    display: inline-block;
    transition: none 0s ease 0s;
    text-align: inherit;
    line-height: 24px;
    border-width: 0px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding: 12px 33px 11px;
    letter-spacing: 4px;
    font-weight: 400;
    font-size: 14px;
  }
.mmb-btn:before {
    border: 1px solid #000;
    top: 7px;
    left: 7px;
}
.mmb-btn::after {
    bottom: 0;
    right: 0;
}
.mmb-btn:before, .mmb-btn:after {
    box-sizing: inherit;
    content: '';
    position: absolute;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    transition-property: all;
    transition-duration: 0.25s;
    transition-timing-function: ease;
    transition-delay: 0s;
}

You have to add only the :hoverpseudo class.

.mmb-btn:hover::before, .mmb-btn:hover::after {
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    transition: all 0.25s ease;
}


.mmb-btn { -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    text-decoration: none;
    text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;
    position: relative;
    color: #fff;
    border: 0 none;
    box-shadow: 0 4px 13px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1);
    background-color: #e4b067;
    display: inline-block;
    transition: none 0s ease 0s;
    text-align: inherit;
    line-height: 24px;
    border-width: 0px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding: 12px 33px 11px;
    letter-spacing: 4px;
    font-weight: 400;
    font-size: 14px;
  }
.mmb-btn:before {
    border: 1px solid #000;
    top: 7px;
    left: 7px;
}
.mmb-btn::after {
    bottom: 0;
    right: 0;
}
.mmb-btn:before, .mmb-btn:after {
    box-sizing: inherit;
    content: '';
    position: absolute;
    width: 100%;
    height: 100%;
    transition-property: all;
    transition-duration: 0.25s;
    transition-timing-function: ease;
    transition-delay: 0s;
}


.mmb-btn:hover::before, .mmb-btn:hover::after {
    top: 0;
    left: 0;
    transition: all 0.25s ease;
}

A quickie because why not. I suggest using transform instead of changing the position as it's more dom fluid and semantically cleaner.

Also remember to apply pointer-events: none to the pseudo element so you don't get the spazzy behavior when someone hovers the border outside of the button like you see on the other answers provided.

.fancy-btn {
  padding: .5rem 1.5rem;
  background-color: #eee;
  position: relative;
  transition: background-color .5s ease;
}

.fancy-btn:after {
  content: '';
  display: block;
  pointer-events: none;
  border: red 1px solid;
  position: absolute;
  width: 100%;
  height: 100%;
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  transform: translate(1rem,1rem);
  transition: transform .25s ease;
}

.fancy-btn:hover {
  background-color: yellow;
}

.fancy-btn:hover:after {
  top: 0;
  left: 0;
  border-color: green;
  transform: translate(0,0);
}





body {
  height: 90vh;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}
<a class="fancy-btn">HEY I AM A BUTTON, YAY</a>

You were missing .mmb-btn:hover:before, .mmb-btn:hover:after.
