Fill the background with a color of your choice (I used #c5c5c5) and add some noise (Filters > Noise > Add Noise…).

Create a new Layer and get the Rounded Rectangle Tool. Draw an 115 x 97 pixels shape.

Rasterize the shape to type (Layer > Rasterize > Type) and apply the follower layer styles (Layer > Layer Styles > Blending Options…):

Bevel and Emboss: Highlight Mode Color: #ffffff, Shadow Mode Color: #000000
