<p>These days, finding a fun card line gives me the same thrill I once got as a 20-something Manhattanite discovering a funky boutique. The lovely and very clever selections from <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/WarrenTales?ref=shopsection_shophome_leftnav" target="_blank">Warren Tales</a> are full of unexpected wordplay and arresting imagery, for me the mark of an enduring brand.</p>
<p>Designer and writer Lindsey Warriner fled Boston and a children&#8217;s publishing gig to establish her independent paper craft studio in California. There everything is carefully created, cut and packaged by hand — with the bowler-hat-wearing rabbit on her logo a nod to the etymology of her surname, which translates into &#8220;rabbit keeper.&#8221;</p>
<p>The line features witty takes on the traditional cards: The &#8220;keep it together&#8221; bunny is a functional paper clip, sure to pull any recipient from the rabbit hole, while the &#8220;write more letters&#8221; design features a perforated spine so that the front becomes a postcard.</p>
<p>Digitally printed cards are $4, with handmades and prints priced higher but very reasonably.</p>
