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’m with you.
It’s just so sad! I have read the lawsuits and honestly don’t know what to think. I think if a patent is tried and true -it shouldn’t be copied but, that isn’t clear. I stand behind you Hero Arts-you are an amazing company and I love your products and customer service and designers! What can’t there be more than one great company? I support the small, talented industry and will continue to support the small businesses!
I stand with you! My very first stamp was a Hero Arts stamp. Great quality awesome integrity and priceless support of others. Your an inspiration. Praying for all of you.
Love you hero arts!! Have loved you for more than 30 years!!! You have my support. Keep on crafting!! 💜🌵
Some of my very first stamps way back when were Hero Arts. I still have a ton of the wood block sentiments from many years ago. I stand behind Hero Arts all the way!! Thank you for all you being such a great company. <3
