Is there a way to create a card that would only show todays date?

    Yes, you can create a beast mode that simply has this:

    CURRENT_DATE()

    You can then use the textbox, dynamic textbox or even a table card to display the field.

    @MDavis I agree with @MarkSnodgrass' suggestion.

    One thing to look out for on this is that you can choose any dataset to power your card, but you will need to set it up so that there is always at least one row of data included in the card. For example, if you have a date field filtered to "Today" but there is no data available for today then the Beast Mode will not populate. Since you don't need to display any details from the actual dataset, it's best to avoid any filters in the card.
