In general you can install the nuget library Support V7 Cardview, which you can find here: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Xamarin.Android.Support.v7.CardView/

An example how to use that is available on GitHub: https://github.com/xamarin/monodroid-samples/tree/master/android_l/CardViewSample

If you really want to use the CardLib of Gabriele Mariotti, then you should create bindings for the cardslib before you can use it in C#. For more information on how to do that you can take a look at the Xamarin Documentation: http://developer.xamarin.com/guides/android/advanced_topics/java_integration_overview/binding_a_java_library_%28.jar%29/
