Steel Petal Press is a Chicago based printing and letter press operation, run by me, Miss Shayna.

I am dedicated to making high quality letterpress cards and custom invitations with an urban-gritty edge for those of you who don’t fit into a cute little mass-produced box.  Influenced by vintage illustrations and clean, simple designs my cards cater to people who live life a little on the fringe and embrace it.

I love the mechanics, machinery and process of letterpress printing as well as the gorgeous impression each print leaves on a page.  I hand feed each card individually through the press making each one slightly different and unique in it’s own way.

I am aware of the environmental repercussions of creating paper products in our current time.  My cards are not cheap, disposable supermarket cards.  Each is like it’s own work of art meant to be appreciated and kept.  For my announcements, invitations and custom work I use 100% Crane’s recycled paper.
