Arms of William Alexander, 1st Earl of Stirling (Canada) - Vinyl Kiss-Cut Decal

This striking decal presents the intricate and symbolic coat of arms of William Alexander, 1st Earl of Stirling, a key figure in the early history of Nova Scotia. The design is a vibrant representation of his heritage and contributions to the Canadian province.

Design Elements and Meaning

The design is meticulously crafted in a heraldic style, with a quartered shield as its central element. The first and fourth quarters feature the arms of the Alexander family of Menstrie, depicted as a field divided per pale argent and sable, bearing a chevron and a crescent in base, the colors counterchanged. This represents the family's lineage.

The second and third quarters showcase the arms of the Stirling family, illustrated by a gold field (Or) bearing a black ship (lymphad sable) positioned between three red crosses crosslet bottony fitchée (gules), two above and one below. The lymphad and crosses symbolize the Stirling family's history.

At the center, in the "point of honor," sits an escutcheon, bearing the familiar Nova Scotian flag. This placement emphasizes the Earl of Stirling's pivotal role in the province's founding and his influence on its identity, including the establishment of its name, flag, and coat of arms.

Symbolism

The entire design serves as a visual tapestry, weaving together different layers of meaning. The elements are purposefully arranged to showcase historical significance and familial ties. It pays homage to his Scottish heritage through the Stirling and Alexander elements, while the Nova Scotian flag in the centre, highlights his lasting impact on the Canadian province. This coat of arms encapsulates his life and legacy.

Glossy kiss-cut vinyl stickers made for smooth, indoor surfaces — laptops, journals, mirrors, and other finished items. Crisp edges, vivid color, strong hold, and not waterproof.

What “kiss-cut” means: the blade cuts the vinyl layer into the exact shape while leaving the backing liner whole, so pieces separate cleanly and lift off the sheet without tearing. It’s the neatest way to produce shaped stickers and multi-piece sheets.

  • Material: reliable vinyl face with a permanent acrylic adhesive formulated for smooth, non-porous surfaces.
  • Finish: glossy surface that enhances contrast and depth without feeling overly reflective.
  • Printing: eco-solvent inks provide dense color and crisp detail for fine lines and gradients.
  • Use case: intended for indoor environments only — not waterproof. Not recommended for continuous exposure to moisture or dishwashing.
  • Application friendly: easy-peel backing and a liner that releases cleanly to help reduce bubbles and misfeeds during placement.

These stickers perform best on smooth, dust-free surfaces — think laptop lids, sealed notebooks, glass, mirrors, finished shelving and lockers. They’ll stick well where the surface is flat and clean; avoid rough wood, silicone, fabric, and heavily textured paint.

  1. Clean: remove dust and oils with a lint-free cloth. For stubborn grime, use a mild soap and water rinse; let the area dry completely.
  2. Align: peel a corner, position carefully, then press the center down first.
  3. Smooth: work outward from the center with a soft card or a thumb to push air out and ensure the edges set down firmly.

Tip: give the adhesive 24 hours to fully settle before heavy handling. These are not designed for outdoor or wet conditions.

  • Gently dust with a soft, dry cloth, moving from the center outward to avoid scratching the gloss.
  • For light marks, a barely damp microfiber will lift residue — blot, don’t scrub, and dry right away.
  • Avoid bleach, solvents, abrasive pads, and steam; moisture or harsh chemicals can lift edges and fade inks.

Reminder: these stickers are not waterproof. Keep them away from sinks, outdoor exposure, and dishwasher cycles to maintain adhesion and finish.

Sizes are measured across the sticker’s longest side. For example, a 3″ sticker is 3 inches across its largest dimension (height or width, depending on the shape).

The kiss-cut follows the sticker’s outline for a tidy border; complex shapes can show small variances, but the advertised measurement refers to the maximum edge-to-edge length.
