Since creatine basically puts water into your muscles, I was wondering if you could gain a lot of muscle, but still be cut using it.

Creatine will help develop muscles, but I've seen people who use creatine and they tend to be bloated. Creatine causes the muscles to fill up with water. The look is definitely bigger, but not very ripped.
In any case, to see your abs you'll have to get your body fat below 10%. This is more a matter of diet and proper exercises. It's tricky, but can be done, especially if you don't have too much body fat to begin with. Try getting a body fat measurement first to see where you stand.
But I'd vote against creatine being something that would make your abs pop.

If your body fat is 10% or lower, you'll be pretty dang cut no matter what. Especially if you're muscles are growing larger do to exercise enhanced with Creatine.

Basically creatine will help you lift weigh a bit longer so that you get more gain. However, it doesn't work for some people.
