45 years! HUGE congrats to Hero Arts and their amazing team! It was such an incredible honor to be invited to celebrate with Hero Arts this past weekend in Richmond, CA. The name Hero Arts has always stood for innovation and integrity. The kindness and caring spirit that Aaron shares with all of us in this industry is heart-warming!
We learned how they use an earth-friendly manufacturing process which helps keep our earth green and products chemical and toxin free!
and to think… there were additional projects to the ones shown above, all of which were accomplished in about six hours over the two days. The combination of fun, interactive designs along with the opportunity to use so many of the new products was so much fun! We hope you enjoy the return of the “From the Vault” series of stamps and dies, as well as the buttery new inks! You can find them here.
Thank you Hero Arts for being such an inspiring leader in this industry I love! Thank you for the many years of bringing joy to this crafty community! – Ellen

I love seeing the cards you all made with the stamps from the vault. Seeing quite a few Hero Arts stamps gives me some ideas for pulling them out more often. I love that frog.
It’s good to hear that they are an Eco friendly company.
Ellen, you wrote a wonderful tribute to Hero Arts in your blog. You and others have used the word “integrity” in reference to HA. A characteristic of very few businesses these days.
Congrats! Aaron and the entire HA organization. Nicely done Ellen.
What beautiful cards. It’s no wonder you guys have been around 45 years. Thanks for creating and inspiring. Happy Anniversary.
Looks like you’ve all been having loads of fun!
Beautiful cards. I love how you guys support each other even though technically you are competitors. That’s one of the reasons I will continue to support and purchase from you both!
Hi Ellen 🙂 Soooo cool to learn about Hero Arts history in this celebration and their commitment to an earth friendly and chemical and toxin free environment in our VERY hands-on craft!!! Thanks for being a part of that history/industry as well 🙂
