"Card Making, as a hobby, is ever growing in popularity. With the economic down turn many are making their own invitations as a way to save money when throwing a birthday party, baby shower, or planning a wedding" says Delilah Hatch, owner and creator of Do-it-yourself-invitations.com. "We wanted to host a Handmade invitations contest to give people an outlet for showing off their creations, sharing ideas, and inspiring each other."

Do-It-Yourself-Invitations.com is an invitations and cardmaking website that has soared in readership since its launch in Late 2006 and is ranked among the top 1% of all websites for traffic according to Alexa traffic rankings. Hatch believes the popularity is in part due to a combination of the economy and trends in the Arts and Crafts industries. "The online community of paper crafters and card makers is exploding right now. Whether they simply enjoy card making as a hobby, or simply trying to save money, card making is everywhere!"

The Handmade Invitations Contest runs through December 15st, 2009, and submissions will be accepted up until Midnight.
