Welcome to the CHOX Hop!!

Welcome to the CHOX HOP!! 

We are so excited to be releasing this brand new line of Mix'd Media Inx with Donna Salazar Designs!! Mix'd Media Inx CHOX are available in these gorgeous colors:


Building on the success of Donna’s Mix’d Media Inx®, we have developed a fast drying, matte finish chalk ink packaged in our signature stackable, round pads. Donna has selected eight terrific colors which are sure to be hot, hot, hot in 2013! 









By popular demand, we are introducing four more colors in that unique,
round, stackable case! This ink is extra thick with an extended drying
time, perfect for all mixed media projects.








For the next 3 days our teams are sharing fabulous projects showing you all this new formula of ink is capable of creating. Check out our team's projects below and head to the Donna Salazar Designs Blog to view the projects from Donna's team. Tell us what you'd like to do with our new Mix'd Media Inx CHOX for a chance to win a selection of these brand new inkpads! Details are at the end of this blog post...now, here's a couple fab Mix'd Media Inx and CHOX projects from Jean Okimoto and Sabrina Alery:


Sabrina Alery created this "gorgeous" fall card! The new Mix'd Media CHOX inks are the best of both worlds - soft, chalky color with all the blending capabilities of a pigment ink. Sabrina experimented with a style different than she'd normally use and ended up with a card that shouts one last hurrah for the autumn season.

See the full project on Sabrina's blog here.




Hi - Jean Okimoto here - with a tag featuring Clearsnap's just-released CHOX Mix'd Media Inx.  It's a collection of 8 colors - selected by Donna Salazar - of fast-drying matte inks in round, stackable inkpads.

The colors featured here are Petals, Sage, Midnight and Sparrow, on the reinforcement.  By coincidence - we just adopted a homeless puppy named Sage last night.  It's been a long day!

  37. I am crazy about the muted purples and exciting new soft colors. Is there any such thing as having to much ink? or too much color? I think not. So go ahead color my world!
