Dear Kimmie,
Hello from Coach Dave, I work for The Home Depot in California and enjoy projects like yours. It sounds like you have a Euonymous alatus 'Compactus or the Euonymous alatus 'Select', which both are forms of Burning Bush.
It sounds like you want to try "propagation" of your plant. This is not very difficult but takes time and know how.
What you'll need is:
 *cuttings 2" to 3" from the original plant that are new growth
 *small pots or Styrofoam cups
 *rooting hormone
 *large plastic bags
 *sand
 *newspaper
 *organic material like:peat moss,straw, or grass clippings
 *patience (but not too much)

Here we go:
Cut the new growth in a 45 degree angle or close to that. This can be done in the summer or fall. Dip the cutting in the rooting hormone and wrap in wet newspaper for about two hours. The next step is to put about 3 inches of wet sand in the cup or small pot. Make sure to wet the sand before putting it in cup/pot. You should also have multiple small holes to allow for drainage. Put cups/pots in plastic bags and check on for moisture three times a day. This should be done in shady area, no sunshine needed just yet.
In 10-15 days you should see some root growth and this is when you discard bags and transplant to different cups/pots with a mixture of native soil and "organic material." The patience is the hardest part, be prepared to have only about 50 percent success rate when first trying propagation.
The rooting hormone can usually be found at home improvement centers.
If you get a chance please let us know how it turned out or perhaps share some photos. Before you know it, you'll be teaching others how to propagate.

Yours Respectfully,
Coach Dave
