Well, I wouldn't have done it either without some tutorials. From there, I just altered the gloss effect slightly, added shadow, personalized the border a bit, and there we go.
My own original template is still WIP because I constantly keep changing it. It's also going to be more 3D-oriented (rather than glossy).

:3 I tried to make a nice orb, but ended up failing...but lately I've learned the trick of using flat colours and then using bevel and emboss to make it look 3D and shiny :3

This is the tutorial that I modified to make this preliminary border for my icons. Maybe you could start from there (links seem to be hidden on deviantart, I'm a newbie around here).
