This evening I’d like to give you all a little info about one of our fantastic new vendors.

Steel Petal Press‘s Shayna K. will be sending us some more of her (already sold out)  “Love from the Dirty South” cards, which make fun alternative cards for the holidays, as a “greetings from”/postcard hello, or just a good ol’ fashioned note in the mail.

We also have some more traditional, but still gorgeous, season’s greetings cards…

And other non-holiday sentiments

Fave!

From the lovely Shayna’s site, a mini statement:

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 edge that offer an alternative to Hallmark’s sappy-sweet.  Influenced by vintage illustrations I use clean, simple designs and print every card by hand.

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.

Come on into the shop and check out some more of this fabulous artist’s designs!

much love,

Stephanie
