You can certainly do this without WordArt. First draw a text box (or choose Simple Text box and then delete the text).
Open Microsoft Word and click 'File.' Click 'Open' to select an already-saved file or click 'New' to create a new Word file. Type your text in the open space. Click on 'Insert,' 'Point to Picture' and then select 'WordArt.' Double-click the style that you prefer in the WordArt gallery box. Highlight the first line of text and on the Insert tab in the petition Text choose Word Art. Choose a Word Art style to suit your taste. Set the size of the word art to 12 cm x 12 cm or the imperial equivalent. Choose Drawing Tools/Format/ Size. Repeat this process for the second line of text, this time set the size to 9 cm x 9 cm. Select the text you want to use, then on the Insert tab, in the Text group, click Text Box and then click Draw Text Box. This should put your selected text in a text box. Then on the Drawing Tools Format tab, in the WordArt Styles group, click Text Effects. The Transform options will be at the bottom.
After you add the text box, right click and choose Format Shape.
On the Fill and Line Color tabs, set to No fill and No line.
