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,

Patti J.,

Shame on them – I stand behind you and other companies targeted 100%! Good luck, and congrats on such a classy response!

Phyllis Herrin,

I wrote several paragraphs supporting the innocence of your company. I do hope you received my comments! It took an hour to compose because I have neuropathy. Can you let me know if you got it? If not I will try again.

Dixie Cochran,

This is just another example of why I have been a fan of Hero Arts for many, many years. Your quality products, earth friendly mind set, and classy business practices are admirable. Keep up the good work, Hero Arts!

Pam Torkelson,

Pround to stand behind such an amazing company.
