Difference between Object Creation and Class Instantiation

Question

When I was reading the definition for Creational Design Patter in Wikipedia, have come across the following sentences.

Creational design patterns are further categorized into Object-creational patterns and Class-creational patterns. Where, Object-creational patterns deal with Object creation and Class-creational deal with Class-instantiation.

I was under the impression that Object Creation and Class Instantiation are one and the same. Are they same or Different? If they are different what will be the differences?

While class-creation patterns use inheritance effectively in the instantiation process, object-creation patterns use delegation effectively to get the job done.
