COVID-19 Update: Temporary Closure

In order to fight the growing spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), the San Francisco Bay Area has mandated the immediate closure of all non-essential businesses, including Hero Arts. This means all of our employees will be sent home and we will not return until April 7 (as of now).

We are sad that we won't be able to provide you, our most prized customers and friends with stamping supplies, but we understand this is a necessary step for the good of the community.

We will still be online and available as follows:

• Our website (both stampers and retailers) will continue to take orders, although we will not start shipping again until April 7 at the earliest.

• We will continue to offer blogs, social media, card ideas, and projects online to help us and stampers the world over pass the time at home.

• We will continue to monitor our phones and email as often as possible, although our response times will be slower than usual, and thus we apologize in advance for any delays.

We are sending out our most loving and heartfelt thoughts to you and your family. Stay safe and stay healthy.

Kelly Lount,

Stay safe, stay healthy. I just placed a little order. I hope it helps offset the time you must be closed.

Cathi Thorpe,

You are one of my very favorite stamping companies and I’m ever grateful for the inspiration and beauty you’ve added to my life. Please stay healthy and we will all be here waiting to shop when it’s safe for you to come back! I’m so glad we all have this wonderful hobby to keep us busy while we wait this out. Hugs to all of the fellow crafters.

Lauralee Cosgrove,

Hello All at Hero Arts,
Stay well and safe during this unprecedented time.
I’m wondering if the March kits are shipped already, but suspect they will likely be delayed. No worries – I’m simply curious.
Again, thank you all!

Audrey Andrews,

The most important thing is to stay safe and healthy and to be there for each other – even at a distance. Your products and archived inspiration will help many get through this difficult time! Quoting a wonderful crafting artist I follow (Monica from Understanding Blue). “Our Grandparents were sent off to war… we are sent off to our sofas”.. happy crafting and love!
