Frequently Asked Questions
Art Prints
Netties Expressions® art prints are printed on Epson's Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster with an Netties Expressions® greeting cards are printed using an Epson SureColor P800. With its unique Epson MicroPiezo® AMC® print head and Epson's UltraChrome® HD eight-color pigment ink set, this printer is capable of producing the next-generation of prints. This instant drying paper delivers highly saturated prints by offering maximum ink coverage and a high D-Max for true photographic reproductions. Its 10-mil RC base gives prints a photographic feel, and keeps the paper cockle-free. Wedding, portrait and fine-art photographers have traditionally used luster paper for their photos.
The paper is 8″x10″. There is a narrow white edge left all the way around the print in order for the print to correctly show in your frame.
Print is packaged in a cellophane sleeve with backing board to keep printed from being damaged.
Please remember that colours may vary slightly due to different colour monitors.

Stencils
Netties Expressions® stencils are meant for one-time usage. The stencils are cut from MACmask paint mask vinyl.
This is a 3.2-mil soft, gray, matte transparent vinyl film coated on one side with a low bonding, rubber based, pressure sensitive adhesive with an 83# white kraft release liner.
It is clean, quick, trouble free cutting with most plotters. Fast, easy weeding and a textured surface to help reduce over spray problems. The matte transparent film allows for quick, easy positioning.
A stencil allows you to create your own wooden sign or wooden decor. The perfect way to do your own DIY project and make it look professional.
Vinyl
Yes! Email me with your request and I’ll let you know what the new price is.
No. Unfortunately your vinyl wall art is for a one time application only.
Depending on conditions the indoor vinyl (Oracal 631) can last for three to five years and the outdoor vinyl (Oracal 651) can last for 6+ years.
Yes. Humidity and water do not affect the wall vinyl. Oracal 631 can get wet; it just is not a great choice in areas that it will be constantly exposed to water. Just make sure the surface is clean and dry before you apply the vinyl wall art.
No. The water based removable adhesive is what makes it a great choice for indoor applications. It will not damage walls when removed assuming the walls are in sound condition. Please wait at least 3 weeks after painting before applying vinyl. When you’re ready to remove your vinyl simply use your fingernails to get it started and slowly pull away at a 45 degree angle from the wall. You can also use a blow dryer to slowly heat the vinyl and pull away in the same method.
*Netties Expressions® is not responsible for any damage caused by applying or removing vinyl.
Basically any smooth surface that is not porous. The best surfaces are smooth finished surfaces such as mirrors, walls, plastic, glass, plexiglass, arborite, metals and finished wood.
We use two different types of vinyl. Oracal 631 which has a matte finish (indoor vinyl) and Oracal 651 which has a gloss finish (outdoor vinyl). Obviously our indoor vinyl is used for all our regular wall art orders. Any vinyl designs for vehicles, doors, mailboxes and the likes (anything outdoors) will be cut using our outdoor vinyl.
WOOD SIGNS & PALLET WALL HANGINGS
Netties Expressions® handmade wooden pallet wall hangings are made from new lumber & distressed to look old. These are either stained Minwax stain or painted with FAT Paint. They are then sealed with Beauti-Tone Acrylic Clear Lacquer. The signs are ready to hang and come with either a d-ring hanger or a sawtooth hanger on the back.
Each “sign, wall hanging and pallet art” is hand crafted with care. Our products are not created on assembly line and so every piece is unique and may slightly differ from one to the next. We strive to create them as close to the same as possible. The uniqueness of each piece is what truly makes them special as there are no two exactly the same.
Yes, Netties Expressions® handmade wooden signs are hand painted using stencils which are designed and cut by Netties Expressions®.
Hand Painted vs Free Hand
- Hand Painted: painted by a person and not by a machine
- Free Hand: done without special tools or instruments
All Netties Expressions® Handmade Wooden Signs and Handmade Wood Décor are uniquely created and designed by Netties Expressions® in Robin, Manitoba Canada.
Netties Expressions® rustic wood décor and signs are NOT mass produced in China or created in a sweat shop or factory assembly line. Each piece is individually handmade by myself (Jennette). There is a lot of thought and love put in to each item.
No two signs or wood décor are identical which means that the décor or sign(s) you have purchased or want to purchase will be special and unique to you and your home. The uniqueness of each item is what makes Netties Expressions® wooden décor so special.
All of my wood signs and décor are designed and created to be rustic. I try my utmost to provide good quality and craftsmanship. The décor and sign(s) which you purchase will be distressed and may not look identical to the sign pictured due to the uniqueness of distressing.
If you are looking for perfect pieces of identical art, you will not find that here in the handmade world.
Wood is wood. Even the same types of wood are different which means that the same colour of stain or paint may look different from piece to piece. I love the look of wood and do not try to cover up knots, knot holes, the wood grain, aging or imperfections in the wood as I feel that it adds special character to each piece.
~ Thank you for appreciating the love and care which I put into my products and for the support which you show to my small handmade business.
