I would like to propagate some of the evergreen bushes

a bunch of little red berries on them, which obviously
are the normal "seed" but I haven't had any luck getting
new plants from berries.

I tried planting some last year in a peat/soil mix,
and didn't get a single sprout. What do they want to
germinate? Digested by a bird? Burnt by a forest fire?
More to the point, what can I do to make them grow?

Or should I try cuttings? Someone loan me a clue?

A brief Google shows that juiper seed germination is very poor. Here's
something about cuttings that looks good at first glance.

Hint: when looking for "how to grow" something, good results can
usually be had by trying

plantname germination
plantname cultivation
plantname reproduction

or even

"how to grow plantname"
