In the 2009/2010 Stampin’ Up Idea Book and Catalog there is a stamp set and punch that coordinate. This is a great idea and I hope that Stampin’ Up starts doing this more often.
The stamp set is Flight of the Butterfly (item 111564) and the larger butterfly can be punched out with the Butterfly punch (item 116629). I love using this stamp set and have created tons of little butterflys to use on my cards.

Whisper White and Old Olive cardstock; Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Chocolate Chip, and Rich Razzleberry classic ink; Whisper White craft ink. Stamped images punched using the Butterfly punch. Overlay stamping accomplished with the Stamp-a-ma-jig.
I made a set of cards using this stamp set, here is one example.

Chocolate Chip cardstock as card base; Old Olive and Whisper White cardstock; Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, and Pumpkin Pie classic ink; Whisper White craft ink.
There are a few other stamp sets that coordinate with punches. The new I {Heart} Hearts stamp set (in the Occasions mini catalog) coordinates with the Heart to Heart punch and the Full Heart punch. I just purchased the One of a Kind stamp set and I suspect it coordinates wit the Boho Blossoms punch (there’s nothing that says so in the catalog), I’ll let you know what I find out. There are also several stamp sets that coordinate with the shaped punches (like ovals, squares, etc).
[Update 25 Jan 09: A friend just pointed out that Heart to Heart punch also coordinates with the Love You Much stamp set. Thank you, Joan.]
I look forward to Stampin’ Up introducing more and more of these coordinating sets!
