I'd like to know what I need to learn to apply a shader to achieve masking on the text.

Here is my text object in-game, I'm using a sprite mask to mask the game objects on the card, they're all in their own sorting layer, the order number is 11.

Here is my text in the inspector enter image description here

However, everything on the card is being masked except the text.

If someone could tell me what I need to learn to solve this problem that'd be great, can this problem be solved using a shader?

If your cards are sprite you should use TextMesh because Text Component made for UI Elements.

Sprite Solution

Create a world space Canvas and child it to card sprite.

enter image description here

Use Sprite Mask

enter image description here

Select Visible Inside Mask

enter image description here

Change the Stencil buffer to cut the text

enter image description here

Enjoy!

UI Solution

your game is a card game so you should use UI Elements Instead.

you can mask your Items in UI by Mask Component.

Create a canvas

enter image description here

Add Mask

enter image description here

Child them into mask

enter image description here

also, you can use SoftMaskForUGUI to have a better result
