It’s New to Us by Jean Stratton


CREATIVE DESIGN: “I like putting things together in a unique way. Instead of just 2-dimensional cards, I like to create something to delight the client. Each piece should reflect their personality. The collaboration with the customers has been wonderful.” Joy Chen, owner of JOYcards, is shown next to a display case filled with her design samples.

The success of Hallmarks Cards notwithstanding, when you really “care enough to send the very best”, JOYcards is the place to go.

Joy Chen has been providing custom design cards, invitations, announcements, and personal stationery since 1997 when she opened her shop at 20 Nassau Street (the corner of Chambers Street). Last June, she moved upstairs to a private studio, where she could concentrate exclusively on her design work.

Then, they want good support, affordability, and good service.” Janeen Albertson, manager of Princeton Mattress in the Princeton Shopping Center, is seated on a Simmons Beauty Rest mattress, featuring memory foam over the best pocketed coils.
