Over at ehow there is a cool tutorial on how to fry marbles. Why you ask would you want to fry marbles? Because when you do they crack and look crystallized. The tutorial over there includes directions on how to turn the marbles into jewelry using bell caps, but if you are more into wire wrapping pop on over here to see a tutorial on how to make a marble float in an old earring.

If you’re gift giving to a coffee lover give them a gift card to their favorite coffee shop in a handmade coffee themed gift card holder. Nicki created this delicious and cozy card with a rounded flap that has a die cut Cup of Joe and some tasty cookies. For the cookies she die cut and dry embossed them, adding some white pigment ink for color and texture and glitter for sugar. I love how the bold red mug pops on the blue card base!
Inside on the flap is a pocket for the gift card and a sweet stamped and die cut sentiment.
