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 love all the companies targeted. Not pleased to hear this. I believe they have shot themselves in the foot as I now want to shy away from their products. This has been a community…us crafters never tire of supporting the entire industry. There is enough to go around.

    So, sad to learn of this move by Ellison against Hero Arts and the other companies. I hope this sorry behavior backfires on them. I own maybe two sets of stamps from them and after this will never purchase another item. Hero Arts is a class act with awesome products and I totally support you and will continue to purchase as much as I can afford from you!

    I am so sad that Ellison is doing this. I support you 100%!
