Holy Mackerel — Meet My Newest Sardine Tin Card!

If you've been following Be Unique by Romy for a while, you'll know that my sardine tin shaped cards are close to my heart. Each one is hand-illustrated, die-cut by hand, and designed to be the kind of card people keep long after the birthday is over.

Today I'm so excited to introduce the newest member of my sardine tin collection: the Holly Mackerel Birthday Card.

Holy Mackerel, it's your birthday! 🐟

This card features a bold, colourful vintage mackerel tin illustration with fun hand-lettering — and yes, it's shaped like a tin. Because why send a flat rectangle when you can send something that makes someone laugh the moment they open the envelope?

Who is it for?

The Holly Mackerel card is perfect for seafood lovers, fishermen, fish pun enthusiasts, and honestly anyone who appreciates a card with a bit of personality. It's the kind of birthday card that gets kept on the mantelpiece.

What makes it special?

Every card in my sardine tin collection is individually hand-cut in my studio. That means slight variations are part of the charm — your card is genuinely one of a kind.

• Die-cut mackerel tin shape
