creaming is just a word for mixing.
with sugar and butter, you use a fork and kind of smash the butter and sugar together until it's totally blended.
it comes out to be kind of like wet sand.

Cream means to beat until fluffy. Or as I like to say "beat the tar out of it!" When you add sugar to butter adn beat it, it gets very light and airy. This is a crucial step in many baked goods that call for creaming the butter/shortening and the sugar.

It means to blend or mix the butter by adding the sugar slowly a little at a time until completely incorporated. Usually using a speed mixer, or a whisk. It will usually look like a whipped mixture, kind of fluffy looking, but stiff.

Everyone else's answers are great, but one thing you need to remember about creaming ingredients is that air needs to be incorporated to change the volume and texture. So, beating the ingredients hard and fast for 4-5 minutes should do the trick.
