when stitching on paper without fabric i use tearable vilene (e.g. Stitch and Tear) as the base or one of the layers - it's more like stitching on fabric, can easily be coloured, takes all sorts of adhesive well and you can tear away most of it when you've finished stitching

You also might have to clean your bobbin case more often when stitching on paper, especially a top-load.

I have enjoyed stitching paper for years and like to combine paper and fabrics. It is helpful if you dedicate a sewing machine needle just for paper so you don't dull your newer needles for fabric use. It also helps to keep practice scraps of paper in various thicknesses to try out and adjust your stitches on before you sew on your project. Have fun!
