For the Love of Stamping

Hero Arts

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,

I support you all the way, back in 2011 I was a Hero Hostess on the Flickr group page and your company supported me in my early card making days. You were all so friendly and welcoming and I love your products, I still have all my stamps from back then and couldn’t bear to part with them. Love you Hero Arts xx

Standing with you Hero Arts. The love of the crafting community that Aaron shows is amazing. We are truly better together. Much love to you all and prayers for a speedy resolution to this merit less lawsuit.

I’m stunned at this action taken by Ellison and it’s just makes me want to support hero arts even more. What about the companies involved putting together a kit for us supporters to buy and the proceeds go to your legal funds? Theme could be “stand by me” or “friendship” or “peace”.
