Show and tell! :)

Simply upload a photo of your first Hero Arts stamp(s) and/or memories, and include the hashtag #herocelebrates45. *** Be sure to use this hashtag so that we can find your entry and others participating in the challenge can too! ***
2. Link Party - If you are not on Instagram, you can share a direct link to your photos/memories in the InLinkz Link Party below this blog post. Look for the blue button!
No matter which way you enter, you will be eligible to win fabulous prizes!

I don’t get involved with social media either, BUT I wanted to share a short story. I haven’t been stamping all that long. I really wasn’t paying attention to which company was which, until …. I bought what turned out to be a Hero Arts sentiment stamp set. The stick got lost quickly on some of the stamps and I tried to recover them but nothing worked. I contacted Jennifer McGuire for a suggestion and she suggested I contact Hero Arts directly saying they were a great company. With great skepticism I did just that. To my great surprise and delight — and without question — Hero Arts stood behind their product and replaced the set. Hero Arts stood out to me!!! And I was happy (for once!) to be wrong (in my attitude). Recently I saw a video with Aaron talking about the history of the company. That left me appreciating HA even more. Thank you, Aaron, for the history lesson! MUCH appreciated. Happy Anniversary, Hero Arts, and thank you for being a company like the ones from the (now) old days … for being a company that stands behinds its products and is all about service. Although I wish there were more companies out there that do it like we did in the “old” days, it’s SO uplifting to know Hero Arts is there. Here’s to 45 more!!
I have a few Hero Arts wood blocks stamp from years ago that I occasionally still use - many for Christmas. They still work and I still cherish them!
I just noticed that one of my favorite Hero stamps F253 Serene Sun dated 1983 is pictured on your website. I have so many Hero favorites, but it’s fun to see one of my “oldies” pictured. thanks, again, for 45 years of great times and fun memories. Time to CELEBRATE!
I’m not on social media, but I’m definitely an “old” time Hero Arts person. One of the stamps I still use is dated 1993 (F357 Blooming Flowerpots). In 1983 I used to drive 19 miles from Walnut Creek to Benicia to buy Hero Art Stamps. I have a full drawer of special “Hero’s” and love them all. Congratulations for 45 years of making a lot of people happy: those using Hero stamps and those receiving beautiful cards.
45 years is a LONG time! It will be fun to see the really old ones so I do hope everyone shares. My oldest is from 1996—vintage rubber—yeah!
