Oh my, am I ready for Fall! I like Summer, I really do, but heat and I don’t get along for very long, especially when air conditioning isn’t an option. So when the first cooler days start showing up, I’m more than ready to bring out the Fall decor, and this Keep Calm and Be Thankful printable is such an easy little way to start.
My hubby and I created this printable together years ago, and I still love its simple look. It has a tiny pumpkin, deep warm lettering, and one of those reminders that feels especially right this time of year: Keep Calm and Be Thankful.
And yes, you can download it for free!

Why I Made This Fall Printable
What is it about Fall that feels SO good?
For me, it’s the colors, the cooler breeze, and yes, the clothes. LOL! I love coats, scarves, and boots.
I live about 20 minutes from the beach here in Spain, so Fall here is often still sunny and blue-skied, just cooler. After months of heat, I’m VERY happy when those crisp days finally arrive.
I also love seasonal printables like this because they make it easy to change a little corner of the house without buying new decor. Swap the picture in a frame, add a few Fall touches, and the whole space feels different.
Since Fall is one of my favorite seasons, I’ll take just about any excuse to bring more of it into the house.

How I Recommend Printing It
You can absolutely print this on regular printer paper if that’s what you have at home. Once it’s inside a frame, it can still look really nice.
If I want a printable to look a little better for decorating, though, I prefer using a heavier matte paper or lightweight cardstock. It gives the print a nicer finish and helps keep the paper from looking wavy inside the frame.
When printing:
- Open the Letter or A4 version that matches your paper.
- Select Actual Size or 100% scale in your printer settings.
- Choose a higher-quality print setting if your printer gives you that option.
- Print and let the ink dry for a minute before handling it.
- Trim only if your frame requires it.
If you’re putting it behind glass, I usually prefer matte paper rather than glossy paper because you won’t get as much reflection.
Easy Ways to Display Your Fall Printable
The easiest option is exactly what I did here: pop it into a simple frame and add it somewhere you’re already decorating for Fall.
A few places that work really well:
- On a mantel with pumpkins or Fall branches
- On an entryway console
- Propped on a shelf
- Mixed into a Fall gallery wall
- On a sideboard or buffet for Thanksgiving
- On a kitchen shelf with a few seasonal pieces
Because the printable is mostly white with dark rust-red lettering, you don’t have to match your entire Fall color palette to it.
A natural wood frame gives it a warmer look. A black frame makes the lettering stand out a little more. White keeps everything light and simple.
I like that kind of flexibility because I tend to move things around my house a LOT.
Letter or A4: Which Size Should You Print?
This one is easy. If you’re in the United States or another country that commonly uses US Letter paper, use the 8.5 x 11-inch version.
If you’re in Spain, most of Europe, or somewhere that uses international paper sizes, you’ll most likely want the A4 version, which measures 210 x 297 mm.
I created both because trying to print Letter artwork on A4 paper, or the other way around, can sometimes leave strange margins or cause the printer to resize the design.
Using the correct version keeps things simple.
Can You Resize the Printable for a Smaller Frame?
Yes, in most cases you can use your printer settings to scale it down for a smaller frame.
Just keep in mind that every printer handles scaling a little differently.
If you want the design exactly as I created it, print it at 100%. If you’re intentionally using a smaller frame, reduce the percentage in your printer settings and do a quick test on regular paper first.
That little test can save you from wasting your nicer cardstock.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. It was designed so you can download it and print it with a regular home printer. For everyday decorating, regular printer paper works fine. For a nicer framed finish, I prefer matte presentation paper or lightweight cardstock.
If you’re printing at full size, look for a frame that fits US Letter or A4 paper. You can also use a larger frame with a mat around the printable.
For smaller frames, reduce the print scale first and test it on plain paper.
Nope. A home inkjet or laser printer is perfectly fine for this one. Your results will depend a little on your printer and paper, but you definitely don’t need professional printing equipment.

A Simple Little Reminder for Fall
I still love the message on this printable.
Fall gets me thinking about home, cooler days, family, all the little seasonal traditions, and yes… being thankful for what we have.
Sometimes something as simple as changing the artwork in a frame is enough to start getting me into that Fall mood.
