For the Love of Stamping

Hello friends,

You may have heard that Ellison, the parent company of Sizzix, has made claims of patent infringement against a number of companies in our industry, including Hero Arts.

Just so you know, there is absolutely no reason to change any purchasing patterns with Hero Arts, as Hero Arts does not infringe, believes the lawsuit is without merit, and intends to fight this lawsuit and win for the good of Hero Arts and the industry. Whether we like it or not, the legal process is a method to resolve disputes, and we must let that play out.

There is no reason to allow a chill on creativity or a disruption to business to creep into our beloved industry despite the current situation. In fact, let's work to do just the opposite and rally together to make our community even stronger. Hero Arts and the other companies involved remain the same creative, reliable, top selling brands you trust and love.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask us at info@heroarts.com or leave a comment.

Yours in creativity,

As always, Hero Arts, you are a class act. Thank you for your example and inspiration. ❤️

Cheryl Robertson,

So sorry you are having to go through this. I stand behind you in this even though I don’t know the particulars because I know you and your company have a lot of integrity. Hugs!

GleniceBust,

Sad. Because I could do without Sissex before I could manage without Hero Arts

Angie Antrim,

I stand with you 100%!!!

Jo Ann Danchik,

I, and the community of creators that your company has given wings to, stand beside you, in front of you, and behind you during this unsavory attack. You started most of us on our creative journeys, many years ago, with a simple wood mounted stamp, and we will continue to honor you with our collective support, both emotionally and financially.
